AUBURN, Ala. - Undeterred by a 46-pound disadvantage, Stephen Roberts lowered his shoulder and brought down Alabama’s running back 1 yard shy of a first down.
A crucial play at a crucial time.
“Don’t be scared,” Roberts said. “Can’t be scared. You’ve got to be physical. You’ve got to wrap up. That’s one thing that we talk about every day in practice, wrapping up and tackling.”
In the third quarter, Auburn answered Alabama’s touchdown drive with a Daniel Carlson field goal, pulling the Tigers within one point at 14-13.
