AUBURN, Ala. -- For the second time in three weeks, there was a party inside Jordan-Hare Stadium on Saturday night. The fans were cheering loud enough that it caused Alabama to miss snaps on back-to-back plays. The players were dancing during TV timeouts. It was a crazy atmosphere.

But, for a moment, the party came to a screeching halt.

Auburn running back Kerryon Johnson took a handoff, his 30th of the game, made one cut and then fell to the ground without being touched.
