AUBURN, Ala. u2015 Jeremy Johnson threw highlight reel touchdown pass to Jason Smith, but in a game of field goals, it wasn't enough to carry the day for Auburn at the Iron Bowl.

Alabama's Adam Griffith kicked five field goals and the Tide threw a touchdown pass of its own in the third quarter and added a touchdown late to beat Auburn 29-13 Saturday in the 80th renew of the rivalry.

The Johnson-to-Smith 77-yard touchdown pass was the stuff of the Prayer in Jordan-Hare win over Georgia, and Auburn's Kick Six win over Alabama in 2013.
