Even if Nick Saban and Alabama had truly practiced the play leading up to the game, nothing could have prepared each fanbase for the seesaw of emotions which was the final minute of the 88th Iron Bowl.
The play that will be remembered forever, coming 10 years after the “Kick Six”, was Crimson Tide quarterback Jalen Milroe’s touchdown pass to Isaiah Bond on 4th-and-31 to give Alabama the 27-24 lead with just seconds remaining.
Many Alabama fans heard the call around the state from the voice of Eli Gold who added another classic to the mix.
"It's Caught! Caught by Isaiah Bond! Caught by Isaiah Bond!"
Here's Eli Gold with the call of the answered prayer.#RollTide | @AlabamaFTBL pic.twitter.com/M8L4mjEz1z

But on the flip side of the rivalry, the voice of Auburn football Andy Burcham and the rest of the crew were left shocked after the deflating score.
