Countdown to Kickoff: 84 Days

Hey look, I’m finally bringing up a game that Auburn wins! That’s fun!

Bear Bryant went 19-6 against Auburn during his tenure. That is not a fun stat. What is a fun stat is in 1969 the Tigers handed Bryant his worst loss, point-wise, in his career when they beat the Tide 49-26. And it had the most amazing exclamation mark an Auburn fan could want, an 84 yard fake punt for a touchdown.

This was not a called play but Coach Jordan, in fact, he was looking around trying to figure out where the ball had gone.
