Lagway’s Heartbreaker Ends in Near Miss | Auburn Tigers Football News

Baylor’s season opener ended in heartbreak with a one-point loss to Auburn, but the fight they showed in the final seconds left fans buzzing. Down for most of the game, quarterback DJ Lagway led a dramatic late drive, throwing a touchdown pass with just nine seconds left to make it 17-16. Instead of kicking for the tie, coach opted for the win on a gutsy two-point conversion — and though tight end Matthew Klopfenstein made a tough catch, he was stopped short, sealing the loss. Despite limping through parts of the game with a leg injury, Lagway threw for over 300 yards and two touchdowns in his first start with the Bears. Auburn, meanwhile, claimed their first win under new head coach Alex Golesh. Baylor now turns their focus to next week’s home game against Prairie View A&M — a chance to bounce back and build on the grit shown in that final drive.
