Auburn threw absolutely everything they had at Alabama, and the Tigers came up short in quadruple overtime in a 24-22 loss to finish the season at 6-6.
What began as the best defensive effort that Auburn has produced in years, maybe ever, turned into a white-knuckle cliffhanger in the closing moments of the fourth quarter as Alabama scored its only touchdown of regulation with :35 left to play to send us into overtime. The two teams matched each other through three frames before Auburn missed the two-point conversion at the top of the fourth extra period, and the Tide converted on a pass from Bryce Young to John Metchie.
