WACO, Texas -- , Transfer quarterback Jackson Arnold had 137 of Auburn's 307 rushing yards while scoring two touchdowns, Rayshawn Pleasant returned a kickoff 98 yards and the Tigers beat Baylor 38-24 on Friday night, opening the season in a true road game for the first time since 2002. Arnold, who played for Oklahoma the previous two seasons, ran 16 times, six of those for at least 10 yards. “Honestly, no, I didn’t think I’d run that much,” Arnold said. “At the same time, I’m going to do what I have to do to help this team win.” Auburn's first touchdown was Arnold's 24-yard keeper that capped a 96-yard drive in the first quarter. He added a 27-yarder on a fourth-and-1 play with 4:32 left. “Tough runner, looked kind of athletic too,” running back Jeremiah Cobb said with a smile. “Looked like he was having fun.
