Prior to last Saturday’s Iron Bowl, Alabama believed that its bad luck with one-second plays during games had run its course. But in one of the more controversial plays of the year, the Crimson Tide was once again burned with one-second remaining on the clock. This time it came in the form of a last-second field goal before halftime.
Before the play, Auburn had just gained a first down with no timeouts remaining with what appeared to be no time left on the clock. With both teams heading towards the locker room, the officials called back out both teams for it appeared as if the Tigers’ receiver was downed with exactly one second remaining on the clock.
