In a game in which touchdowns have been hard to come by, the Auburn Tigers found the end zone late in the third quarter against the Alabama Crimson Tide for the first time Saturday on a wild play.
On 3rd-and-12 from the Auburn 23-yard line, Tigers quarterback Jeremy Johnson hit Jason Smith down the field. However, Smith was unable to catch the pass—initially.
The sophomore receiver tipped the ball to himself and eventually hauled it in. By that point, he was behind the Crimson Tide defense and had a clear path to the end zone.
Here's another look:
The crazy touchdown helped cut Alabama's lead to 19-13 with less than five minutes to play in the third quarter at Jordan-Hare Stadium.
