I just woke up not too long ago. Was there a big comeback by either team? How did Auburn nearly win 4 times?

Didn't see the whole thing, but this is what I remember.
Close game, NW with a chance to tie it inside the 10 throws a 100 yard pick 6. They throw another int in the red zone to end the half, AU up 21-7.
AU starts to try and throw with Burns I think, couple ints, NW ties it up 21-21.
AU goes up 35-21 after that, looks to have game in hand. NW scores with about 3:30 left. XP blocked. AU busts a big play, and on the next play Tate fumbles with 2:30 left. NW scores with 1:15 left, 2pt good, 35-35
AU fumbles the kickoff after returning it to the 50. NW kicker (theme of the game) misses a 44 yard FG as time expires. AU gets a FG. NW tries a 37 yard FG, misses off the right upright, but Roughing the kicker is called.
NW QB tries to scramble two times leading to 4th and goal from the 4. They line up for the FG with the backup kicker (main was hurt on the roughing) but try a fumblerooskie to the short side of the field. AU knocks him out of bounds at the 1 1/2. Game over.
