🏈 Shining Moments in UA and awbarn Football

AL.com All-Access: What are Alabama & Auburn's 'One Shining Moments'?

Funny that ALL of the suggestions for the cow college are against UA. Little brother doesn't have anything else....

For us, it's more balanced because we don't have brother envy -

1. Penn State - Goal line stand

1a. Clemson - the Onside Kick

2. the viles - Rocky Block - f$*# ucheat

3. Florida - Langham's interception

4. Texas - Dareus' fumble return

5. Miami - George Teague steals the ball from Thomas

6. Auburn - the Kick

7. Notre Dame - the SACK

8. Auburn - Rory Turner 'waxed the dude' - wrong way Bo

9. Stanford - Johnny Mack Brown runs over the Cardinal in '26, Bama's first NC

10. LSU - TJ Yeldon's TD to win the SEC west

11. South Carolina - Mark Ingram single-handedly wills a flat Tide to victory, and secures the Heisman

12. Washington State - Jimmy Moore 61 yd TD pass to Flash Suther - 1931 Rose Bowl, 2nd NC

13. Stanford - Howell to Hutson for the TD- 1935 Rosebowl

14. Auburn - Stabler -the run in the mud

15. Auburn - Linny Patrick's 4th quarter runs seal 315

16. Georgia - McElroy to Julio Jones - clinches The Blackout win

17. Florida - Arenas' interception makes Tebow cry and wins the SEC and clinches the NC game setup

18. Auburn - McElroy hits Upchurch to break Auburn's heart

Most of the ones I thought of are championships or highly impactful, and I am sure I am leaving some out, but there's some great memories, and food for thought.

Suggestions?

i'd add 1998 vs lsu in baton rouge.

we scored twice in the final 3 minutes (with help from an onside kick recovery) to win.

yes it's 2 plays, but still.....

Maybe the McCarron to Cooper or tipped pass by Mosley to end that game against Georgia. One of the best and most appreciated games I've ever watched. Took us to a Championship game and the chance to expose Notre Dame.

That 3rd Down run by Yeldon prior to the pass to Cooper....

Man, my bad, tried to edit that but didn't see how to...

Julio taking the screen pass to the house against LSwho in '09. Don McNeal's hit in the Liberty Bowl against Illinois in Coach Bryant's final game.

Think that was Jeremiah Castille.

McNeal was drafted to the Dolphins in 1980, and the Liberty bowl was 82.

Thanks for the correction. It was Jeremiah laying the wood to the Illini WR.

@uagrad93 .....I had to do some digging. The doctor I work with played for Bryant in the early 70's and he and I had big discussion about it after we got to discussing it.

McNeal made the big stop in order for the goal line stand to take place. I didn't even know that, until my doc told me.

See that play every home game.
