Bryce Young, No. 3 Alabama Avoid Auburn Upset Bid with 4OT Win in 2021 Iron Bowl

The No. 3 Alabama Crimson Tide escaped Jordan-Hare Stadium with a 24-22 four-overtime win over the unranked Auburn Tigers in the Iron Bowl on Saturday.

Auburn's dominant defense held the visitors without a touchdown for the first 59 minutes of the game, but Alabama quarterback Bryce Young led the Crimson Tide on a 12-play, 97-yard drive capped by a Ja'Corey Brooks 28-yard score with 24 seconds remaining. The PAT tied the game at 10:

Both teams scored touchdowns in the first overtime and field goals in the second OT.

That set up dueling two-point conversion attempts beginning with the third OT, and both teams converted their chances there.
