INDEPENDENCE BOWL:
Auburn Tigers(7-5) @ Pittsburgh Panthers(5-7)
This is gonna be painful to watch. We are not as bad as a 5-7 team but we're miles behind Auburn. Luckily we have no major injuries and everyone is ready to play.
1st
After a couple of possesions we drive down inside the redzone, but stalls and settles for a field goal from 21 yards. 3-0.
2nd
Auburn RB Wolf fumbles in own territory. Once again we get stopped inside the 20. 6-0 after a 32 field goal.
QB McPherson fumbles the ball. Auburn drives down and completes the drive with 13-yard pass to TE Foster. 7-6 Auburn.
McPherson revenges himself on the next drive and we're in front again. 29-yard dumpoff to RB Walker. 13-7 Pitt.
3rd
Opening kickoff. Auburn fumbles it and ILB Gomez picks it up and returns it to the AUB11. We drive to the 2, and has to settle for a FG. If Stewart didn't botch it. still 13-7.
But ... Wait... There's a flag on the play. Automatic first down on the 1. RB Walker smashes it home. 2-pt attempt is no good. 19-7.
After exchanging possesions Tigers drive down the field and almost makes it a one score game. 50-yard FG 19-10 Pitt.
4th
We answer back by driving down the field. McPherson keeps it and runs it in from 4 yards out. He completes the 2-pt conversion to WR Jack Davis 27-10. This might be another bowl win for us!
Auburn fumbles the following drive, but Stewart misses the short FG.
They return by driving the ball 74 yards to paydirt. 17-27.
Pitt responds with a FG on a 11-play drive that takes 5 minutes of the clock. 30-17 Pitt.
And that's it. They can't move the ball and we even score on a safety after P Hill pinned them back to the 3.
We are bowl champions once again!
