The Kick Six turned a decade old this year, so it was well past time for an Alabama-Auburn game to provide a new generation with a lifetime’s worth of pain and misery — or unbridled euphoria, depending on which team you support.
The Iron Bowl did just that on Saturday.
With Alabama trailing by four at Jordan-Hare Stadium — and it’s playoff chances hanging in the balance — Crimson Tide quarterback Jalen Milroe capped off an unlikely drive with an even more unlikely touchdown. He found Isaiah Bond all alone in the end zone on fourth-and-goal from the Auburn 31-yard line.
Yes. You read that right. A 31-yard touchdown pass on fourth-and-goal. At Auburn. In the Iron Bowl.

As you can imagine, Auburn fans did not take this development well.
In just a matter of moments the Tigers faithful went from getting ready to storm the field to sobbing on their way out of the stadium.
