how long is it going to take you to beat alabama and you said 60 minutes and you were right well nobody's ever beat him in less than that that i know about phil it was a great win for us it was an emotional win for us and and um one that we might have fortunate to win coach bryant had said earlier that they would be the best that they've been all year long and he was exactly right i the films that i looked at of alabama i think they played better yesterday and i've looked at the films today and studied it alabama played a really outstanding football game they played hard and the coaching staff did a great job in game preparation and and they did everything but win the game and of course our staff did a great job getting our kids ready and the thing that that won for us course was the thing that has won for us at other times this year and i turned the football over and right not making the mistakes that'll beat you i thought our kicking game was outstanding louis covered did a great job of punting the football and a lot of pressure and and we didn't i could kicking game stood up in in the fourth quarter i think is when you know when after uh beau made a long run and we got the field goal i think it's the first time our players really realized that they could win the football game up until that point had been all alabama and it was and and we really we you know i can't decide whether we didn't play well or alabama was so good i know that the kids wanted to win i know they wanted to play hard but it didn't look like we were playing as well as we have at times this year okay we talked the seniors great leadership yesterday and those are the people we wanted to talk to in the dressing room after the game i can't remember any better feeling this is it this is the class to turn it around that's it and it ain't going nowhere but up from here it's great nothing like it [Music] this is a senior class that did it congratulations thank you appreciate it we have great practices and all i can say is i just feel great it was time it was time i put my towel on the left side this time to make sure and to give a program that's been such a class program and a bunch of class people and dedicated fans to the followers and to give them back something finally after all these years it's the best feeling you have if you've got to graduate and go on this is the one to do yes sir how do you feel my words can't describe it it's unbelievable it took five years was it worth it it was worth every minute of it i mean it was great where were you on the goal line play that was down in the bottom yes sir sure did we got it the football career is complete now i can live easy for the rest of my life i have an idea your football career is not complete though i hope not but if it is it'll be all right [Music] just go please god hey man you were a wild man on those last two series when you had to stop them that's what it was going to go and get tough i feel great i was kind of tired but i know i had to reach down and look for the second hour what are you going to tell your grandchildren oh i'll tell you what i'm going to have this number 4 jersey right now i'm never going to ever forget this i had never felt that way in my whole life you waited a long time for this john oh yeah wait nine years [Music] i can go home now i can go to montgomery i can go to birmingham i can go to florence i can go to mobile i can go all over the state i can talk now it feels great glad you followed your brother yeah glad i came on down this way uh well the lord's caught up with you with that intercepted pants yeah so he had ain't lonely but uh i still don't know if i could outran him here it is how does it feel to be the first in your class to turn around feels great we've already talked about it you know we talked about before the game you know we wanted it to be us the seniors i think you're the only one i'm going to do it to you you've been around all my life you got to tell me how it feels to be to alabama i don't have to tell you i don't you know it's been a long time congratulations don't talk to me talk to him we didn't talk to you david we're talking only to seniors dr thunderbird we'll classify you as a senior how does it feel great we waited for it a long time i think you saw the results out there today and people enjoyed it to the fullest we are going to intend for it to be 10 years again we're going to meet him and we missed a couple of uh let's show those coach and you comment on them todd rubley first well todd is a class guy and he's been a big part of our program and outstanding student fix to get married in a week or so i think mike edwards can't say enough about mike he's been one of our best leaders all year long for the last two years really a completely unselfish football player and give his heart ball quite a 16 outstanding young men who are the seniors and who are the class that ended the drought against alabama we'll return just a minute cloudy a rather warm day didn't matter the crowd would have been there anyway national television and this is auburn's second possession well alabama came out throwing the ball right away and just you know and because that was a nice pass from randy campbell to to chris woods and bo running this week we're just trying to find something we can have and this is a very poor bad mistake on my part going for a first down out there in the middle of the field score tied nothing nothing but come back with a reverse to joey jones and that little guy can run as a great athlete yeah it's proof that a little guy can play he uh they alabama's is i i don't think it's any question after playing them yesterday and looking at them they're the most talented football team we've played this year throughout now georgia's got a great team that got a great team but alabama's got more players both sides of football with depth and quality running backs two quarterbacks can play that's uh was a mistake on our part right there we we had three or four breakdowns in assignments yesterday it really hurt us bad and uh that was one of them there's a great play right there by mark normandy [Applause] 13 yard line 14 yard line mark norman and you can see him in this game he he just absolutely turned his body loose yesterday and of course in the late stages of the game i'll seniors i i just they they played like they were possessed and there's a fine run by lionel james great block by bo jackson and randy stokes randy stokes made a great decision his guy was out of the play and he turned and comes back up field and gets a piece of uh pits there and lets london get in the end zone pitts needs to be black on every playground he is some kind of player well he is a great football player and is alabama doing a good job against us and i was worried about that we had a blitz on and thing that we heard him with last year and the automatic to the outside beer and and more makes a nice game they get it down here and we come up with a big play right here on fourth and one doug smith and bob harris chris martin just come up with a play writing blue i believe was on it too another outstanding play by bob harris [Applause] i know our fans will be tired be glad to for me to quit coughing here's the field goal alabama goes ahead 10-7 and really dominating the game it seems at this point you know coach cashing those two turnovers that's a great play right there by gerald williams another freshman that played real well you see him right here hits lewis at the caused interception bob harris comes up with it and you catch this one and without those two turnovers well you take last year's game uh bill we actually played better last year than we did yesterday but we didn't take advantage of our opportunities last year like we did yesterday see some light rain now going in for the touchdown after the turnover it was a fine play by randy campbell throwing the mic it was in the middle and a crossing route they worked on the turf all week didn't you well we'd had to because of rain it was a nice run by lionel to get the ball down to the four yard line we uh got four four freshmen in the lineup right here amazing in addition to david jordan and pat harrington and ron o'neill and that's effort there bishop bishop reeves lionel and bo randy randy stokes started yesterday for the first time all year steve wallace big from atlanta randy just scratching and biting and gets it in there big play for us because of the third down we got to kick the field goal right there if you want to get it in for the touchdown doesn't take alabama long to come back for the passing game with their passing game they played coley and lewis and they send co lewis head right for the half in you can see what a great athlete he is scrambling and sets up the field goal with this pass completion and just with a couple of seconds on the clock they kick the field goal and that gives them a lift 14-13 then it is at the half we'll be back in just a minute but you had the lead but uh things did not look good at the half they'd outgained auburn three to one phil i was i was shocked to be ahead to start with and and when i walked in the dressing room every coach on the staff had had the people backed up against the lockers they were chewing and mouth and we just we just played terrible and to be ahead and play that bad you know i said well you know maybe something good is going to happen to us for the day is over and um and it did but you know we we still came back out and didn't play very well in the in the uh in the third quarter they take it down right down and uh they really don't feel it well i'm telling you they you know they just picked us and they broke containment and we act like we'd never seen the scream before but you know they're hustling now you can watch this doug smith trying to get there and big more he's the best pullback we've played against all year long he and jones from florida both of them are great players i wouldn't say which one's the best but they're both good but right there we had a missed assignment on that option and his we ran the eye some yesterday and bullet pulled back and randy did a good job of reading and handing off his line coming back over sweep and i think we pick up the first down there but we don't make many we penetration and gave us two or three bad plays and i'm sure paul garuth would like to have that one over again but if we got a good roll out of it i said we've got them backed up we're going to keep them we'll get back in the ball game and and lo and behold they take it 95 yards to our one yard line before we stop them here i don't know we just that was a good example of the mixing we got we got folks trying to get there and just both of that quarterbacks of course stayed fresh because they alternated them and coley as quick as a cat and louis was quick and he did his final job of mixing up the option and the draws and screens and throwing the football as you could do and it kept us off balance all day long and and the only thing that good about our defense was yesterday was we didn't quit as that was a fine tackle and played by ben thomas and quincy williams that's down close now and then they decided to go for the field goal but you can see late in the game in the fourth quarter that that our defense you know they got stronger and stronger of course we played a lot of people defensively here we come on the on the uh offense and bow breaks out of here with this now this i think changed the momentum of the game too when bo broke out of there and we got that long run then you know i think that gave us something to fight for there and we hand it off to greg pratt and he picks up four yards we come back and pitch catches randy from behind fourth and three at the five you decide for the field goal got to score twice to win anyway so i mean if we score we have to go to two and make it that'll only give us a tie so we went ahead and kicked the field goal there this is where the defense rolls up right this is we stopped them four times in the fourth quarter and this is this is uh one of them here and as louis fine play right here by chris martin and i just looking at the film i think chris played well yesterday and has greg carr out there with him both our linebackers of course chris is a senior i i it was uh our seniors just at this point right here they they were really fighting and stretching to get their heads ben thomas had dow altman getting a hand on the ball here's the big drive is randy throwing to chris woods and and i don't know what kind of spot we got right there lost about two yards i know that bow running inside well they're really firing off we've got there's a fourth down play right there over the top out i know that uh ed west had to play good yesterday down 14. this is the biggest play of the game right here in my opinion randy hits mike edwards he goes to mike in the clutch we got to have it he threads a needle this is a pass on a fence and no question in my mind about it would be in past affairs the only thing that upset me is that that other official didn't call it and i'm going to talk to the corporate people and complain about it has a big plate of bowl in the goal line takes it down to the one foot line and over the top and he got in on that last wiggle okay and i thought that i thought alabama got pretty good penetration now and i thought yesterday that he was in a lot i didn't think it was just close but it was close and right there that last little lunch got him in and then the place went berserko for real time right now you know we're we're ahead and we go for two and don't make it and now it's play defense and hold on and we're we're coming now right there is a great play by dennis collier you can see dennis coyle callie and drinker you got all those seniors in the secondary right [Applause] look at it there's dennis again and you know i'm not sure that the contact caused him to drop it but you know it takes his toll during the ball game there's bob harris in the second intersection of the day and bob harris doesn't make first string all conference and there's not any justice in having an all-conference team lionel right here on a big run can still own a tackle and he still gets three or four extra yards the clock doesn't stop we give it to lionel again on the draw a little face mask that it wasn't called and here's a big play in the ball game that just scared us all to death bow over the top he had the first down made but gotta put his hat right on the ball and the last thing i told randy when we went on the field is tell bo to squeeze a ball we don't make a first down we're still in good shape there's good pressure by gerald robinson ben thomas right here comes from behind i believe i believe they had a mr simon on the play i believe that tackle turned the wrong way on pass protection and being ran right by him and got the pressure he's got a hold of him again right there quincy's got him doug smith's got him he dumps it off to turner he gets out of bounds now bob harris knocks him out of bounds this is the last one here quench is coming got him hemmed up ben's there down the middle and it's all over now and the ball goes over and auburn runs out and then legion field turned into some things about things about the game uh feel you know and and i didn't i didn't i didn't send our players back on the field yesterday and i didn't go back out there myself to put on a big show or anything like that but i wanted our players to get the true feeling and the emotions of winning a big football game that's the first big big game that we've won national television alabama and it's going to come down to having to win one like that to win a national championship on these days and i wanted to go back out to our people because i knew that how happy they would be in the weeping and wailing with joy and and our student body and and all of our fans have been so good to us ever since i've been at auburn even last year when we wasn't winning look at them passing lionel around here i wanted them to feel what it's like you know to win one of those big ones because like i said it'll it'll come back again and it might make us play a little harder and and it's something that that uh that you know i'm just so happy for our fans and and our student body and you know they could get up this morning and look forward to reading the paper and it's been a long time on sunday morning after the alabama game you're right we'll be back in just a minute right now phil i'd like to thank our coaches on the offensive side of the football bud kasich
