Relive Auburn’s epic Kick Six against Alabama, six years later

On this day six years ago at Jordan-Hare Stadium, Auburn’s Chris Davis delivered arguably the greatest play in the history of the Iron Bowl.

Undefeated, top-ranked Alabama had a chance to kick a walkoff 57-yard field goal to break a 28-28 tie, but Adam Griffith’s attempt came up short. Davis was deep in the endzone to catch the ball, and with the help of some excellent blocking, raced 109 yards to the Alabama endzone to stun the Crimson Tide. Auburn play-by-play announcer Rob Bramblett’s call of the play is legendary.

The win sent Auburn to the SEC Championship game, where they beat Missouri to advance to the 2013 national championship game – the last BCS title game before the creation of the College Football Playoff. Auburn lost that game to Florida State, but as Tennessee Titans linebacker Daren Bates demonstrated this week, Auburn fans will never let Alabama fans forget about the Kick Six.
