See Auburn’s Bo Nix avoid sack, run through tacklers for touchdown vs. Texas A&M football

Nearly sacked, Auburn quarterback Bo Nix broke free for a touchdown run with 3:36 left in the second quarter against the Texas A&M football team. 

Nix was credited with a 5-yard touchdown run, but he ran much further than that. 

He was nearly sacked at the 11-yard line at the right hash mark, but he avoided that and headed toward the left pylon — and he dove to make it across the goal line.
