E90 S1 BH Alabama Auburn Iron Bowl Instant Reaction

E90 BH Alabama Auburn Iron Bowl Instant Reaction as Bama wins 27-20 in a nail-biter Alabama scored late in the 4th quarter on 4 & 2 to take the lead 27-20 and then held on with their bend, but don’t break defense to stop Auburn’s last two drives and win a tough game. Celebration. Bama clinched their spot in the CFP! I think barring something really wild and bad happening! Bama qualifies for SEC championship to play GA again! And now playing for seeding in the CFP! Kalen DeBoer goes 4-0 on the road in the SEC, goes 7-1 in the SEC to qualify for the SEC championship, and goes 10-2 on the season as they likely qualify for the CFP. Ugly win! Struggle Win, but a win nevertheless! Ty is clutch on 4 & 2 to score as he hits Zay Horton for the winning TD! And then Bama’s bend but don’t break defense turns Auburn over to stop Auburn’s late drive as Auburn drove the field trying to tie the game. On Auburn 2nd to last drive after Bama scored to go ahead 27-20, Auburn drove 58 yds on 12 plays to the Bama 40 yd line and then Daniels hit Cam Coleman on a pass as Justin Jefferson punched out the ball and Deonte Lawson recovered the fumble. That turnover effectively won the game for Bama. Auburn got the ball back one more time with 12 seconds left, but didn’t threaten to score. Then Ty led Bama down the field in a long, weird drive to score the game-winning TD!
