It’s been said that Helen of Troy, the legendary catalyst of the Trojan War of classical history, was so beautiful that she possessed “the face that launched a thousand ships.”
In that context, think of Roy Upchurch’s drive-capping touchdown catch against Auburn in the 2009 Iron Bowl as “the catch that launched a dynasty.”
Upchurch’s winning TD catch in the right flat is considered by some the most important play, in the most important drive, in the most important game of Alabama’s current run of greatness. Sure, there have been championship moments galore in the Tide’s last decade of excellence.
