Burns was one of the top recruiters on Auburn’s staff for the past five seasons, helping land top players such as Kobe Hudson, Ze’Vian Capers and Anthony Schwartz, to name a few.

Most important play of the 2010 Iron Bowl? One famous Auburn fan has his opinion

The famous Auburn fan mentions a play that played an important role in the comeback.

There were a lot of plays that helped Auburn accomplish the amazing comeback against Alabama in the 2010 Iron Bowl. Nick Fairley’s sack, strip and recovery of the ball. Mark Ingram’s fumble when it looks like he was about to score. Cam Newton to Lutzenkirchen.

Yet when Andy Staples asked the question on Twitter on Tuesday, famous Auburn fan Robert Gibbs, who served as the White House Press Secretary from 2009-11, had another play on his mind.

A minute later, Burns converts another on 3rd down and 9. A few plays later Auburn finally gets on the board, scoring a touchdown and cutting the lead.

Gibbs makes an excellent point. Everything was going awful for the Tigers up until that moment. If Auburn goes into the locker room down 24-0 (or even worse) rather than having some momentum from the touchdown, who knows if they would have had the comeback in them.
