You were not the only one. While everyone in my family was screaming in happiness, I knew we just made a huge mistake. Regardless of what people may think, it's very logical to go down short of the goal line and not score. Those extra 40+sec of the clock is crucial. It's actually a legit strategy in high level video game competition. My father will argue with me to the end on this. He always tells me to take the points. I say down it at the one, if you can't get it in, then in my opinion you don't deserve the win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And every single time bama has snapped the ball against us the last 10 years, because they've gotten away with holding every single time. As always, I come here to make a post only to find that we've shared a brain wavelength. Good call. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maverick.AU 13,279 Posted August 4, 2017 Share Posted August 4, 2017 I think about the 2014 Miss st game as well as those others listed. SC got an offensive PI that negated a 68 yard play that would've put us at the 2 yd line in the 3rd quarter. JJ got a defensive PI on 4th down that allowed them to make it a 2 score game in the 4th quarter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have a lead, a minute to go in the National Championship game, FSU has a long field in front of them, they throw a simple 5 yard pass just trying to get a 1st down. Instead of making a sure tackle or grab a jersey, 2 Senior DBs don't make the play which allows the WR to gain 45 yards. This puts them down into striking distance with enough time to work. I'm still not over it. If the replay is on, I'll watch until Mason scores our last TD and turn it off. My brother who is a big FSU fan was at the game. The shirt shops apparently started rolling out the "Auburn National Champions" shirts after Mason's TD. After the game was over, my brother found the shirts. Thought it was funny and got one. He even put it on, took a pic and sent it to me the next day. Then to add insult to injury, we were on a family trip to Ireland that Following April. He comes to my hotel room and says he has a gift for me. It was the shirt. That shirt never made it back to the USA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I'd have loved for him to do is not go down on the 1 (scoring is never guaranteed) but to get inside the 5 & just stop or run laterally or do some jumping jacks, anything to run 13 more seconds off the clock! Which of course no RB could be expected to do. But I had that thought b/c I feared the time left on the clock. Still sad... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also thought about how we got screwed by the zebras at the end of the '85 Bammer game then sat and watched Tiffin kick that field goal to beat us. Always hated Legion Field- even though it cost us some probation was glad that Dye gave Bham the finger..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SumterAubie 3,031 Posted August 5, 2017 Share Posted August 5, 2017 Not only 4 years ago, but 36 years ago. Auburn had this game won late against John Bond and the number 9 ranked State Bulldogs.

Thought the "offsides" was questionable at the time, thought Bond was across the LOS on the 4th down, but mainly thought: Why the hell didn't Dye just line up and punt on 4th down?

A punt through the end zone puts the ball at the 20. With about two minutes left for a wishbone team to drive 80 yards for the game winning td. And Auburn's defense had played well in the second half, holding State scoreless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That being said, if he were to sustain a horrific injury, causing him to miss a few years of football, a great deal of pain and suffering, and doubt to creep in about his future, my biggest concern would be what type of sandwich I would make for lunch.

milehighfan 1,240 Posted August 5, 2017 Share Posted August 5, 2017 I can't remember the year but Auburn played Ga. Tech in Birmingham. Tigers jumped out to a 20-0 lead over what I think was a highly ranked tech team. The bad news about all of this was tech came back to win 21-20.

Maverick.AU 13,279 Posted August 6, 2017 Share Posted August 6, 2017 2001 Vandy We won, but it was a close game, 24-21. Maybe bc it's Vandy, but I'm surprised nobody mentioned Dan Stricker's "Phantom TD". It tied the game in the 4th 21-21 I believe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
