Alabama doesn’t play Auburn until November 26, but the Crimson Tide nearly fell at the hands of Auburn in Austin on Saturday afternoon.
Texas kicker Bert Auburn, that is.
With 1:29 remaining in the fourth quarter in a game that Alabama led by one, Auburn connected on a 49-yard field goal. Texas’s lead was short-lived, however, as reigning Heisman Trophy winner Bryce Young led the Crimson Tide on a nine-play, 61-yard drive that spanned 1:19 and ended with the game-winning field goal from Will Reichard.
Unsurprisingly, the internet all had the same joke. Bama escaped Auburn once this season… can they do it again during SEC play?
