Alabama vs. Auburn score, takeaways: Tide stun Tigers with incredible last-chance TD to keep CFP hopes alive

One decade after the “Kick Six” broke the hearts of Alabama fans at Jordan-Hare Stadium, the Tide returned the favor in the same corner of the end zone in what will forever be known as “Fourth-and-31.” Alabama quarterback Jalen Milroe’s pass on fourth-and-goal from the 31-yard line landed in the waiting arms of Isiah Bond in the back corner of the end zone with 32 seconds to go in the game to save the No. 8 Crimson Tide from the brink of disaster as Alabama stormed back for a 27-24 win over Auburn in the Iron Bowl. 

The miraculous play was the culmination of a wild sequence of events that nearly saw the one-loss Crimson Tide blow a golden opportunity in the red zone. 

On second-and-goal from the 8-yard line, Alabama center Seth McLaughlin snapped the ball to an unprepared Milroe on second-and-goal from the 8 with under two minutes to play. Milroe recovered at the 26-yard line, however. The Tide signal-caller rolled left and all the way back to the right side on third-and-goal, crossed the line of scrimmage and tossed an incomplete pass with 43 seconds left. Despite the near-disaster, Milroe was able to snag a rabbit out of the hat with his late-game heroics.

Auburn appeared to have things in control when it held Alabama to three-and-out up four points with 4:48 to play. However, Koy Moore muffed the punt and Jihaad Campbell recovered at the Auburn 30-yard line. That kept alive what wound up being the game-winning drive as Alabama remains in the College Football Playoff hunt entering next weekend’s SEC Championship Game against No. 1 Georgia.
