I was reading about the 1962 Orange Bowl...Alabama vs Oklahoma.
Lee Roy Jordan credited with THIRTY ONE tackles and yes thats not a misprint.

Well Kevin Minters 20 tackles Vs. Florida last year was pretty incredible I think ... not sure if its the greatest

The entire 59 season sans the Billy Cannon play (HE STEPPED OUT OF BOUNDS!)

Well, that pretty much seals the deal.

Junior Rosegreen had 4 interceptions against Tennessee in 1 game back in 2004, if I remember correctly.

David Langner is forever etched in Auburn lore for his participation in the “Punt, Bama, Punt” game in 1972. Bill Newton blocked two consecutive Alabama punts to see Langner return both for touchdowns.
Not only did Langner return the punts for touchdowns in that game, he also intercepted two Crimson Tide passes, one of which on their final attempt to take the lead.

I'm too lazy to reflect back so I'm just going to stick with last year. Denzel nkemdiche's performance against y'all. He had 11 tackles 3 for a loss a sack and 2 forced fumbles

I am shocked Rosegreen could remember which way to run after he picked them off lol.....All kidding aside he was a good player at AU

Greg Hardy against Bama in '07. Had like 3-4 sacks, 2 forced fumbles, a fumble recovery and 4 TFL.

Interesting. Using Bama math, he had 31.
Using arithmetic featured by the rest of the developed world, he probably finished with 6 solos and 2 assists with 1 TFL.

I hated Hardy I dont think we ever blocked him.

I don't know about all-time, but some recent examples include CB Antonio Allen, who in our 2011 season opener vs ECU had 16 tackles including a TFL, a fumble recovery and 25 yard return for a TD, and forced two fumbles in the game.
Also, Clowney's 4.5 sacks at clemson last year will be remembered for some time.

I remember that game. I still get pissed about it.

Well GFunk I am sure you can get the film and grade it for us. Lee Roy was a pretty damn good college player and not half bad with the Dallas Cowboys either.

Tra Battle's 3 interceptions against #3 Auburn in 2006 en route to the huge upset.
Jarvis against Mizzou and UF last year (and UF in 2011) was pretty dominant too.

Everyone knows about the 31 tackle game , been in SI , ESPN MAG. etc. that guy is just ignorant.
Thats the game where an assistant was trying to tell Bear Bryant something about the defense and Bear brushed him off with these words “ If they stay between the lines Leroy will get 'em ”

George Teague in the Sugar Bowl against Miami.
The dude was all over the field, turnovers, big hits, great tackles, guy was playing out of his mind.

I remember watching this one (Orange Bowl 1962 season) on TV. The interesting part was that President Kennedy visited the Oklahoma dressing game before the game but ignored the Tide. (Coach Wilkinson was acting as the "health or athletic advisor" or some such title in the JFK administration. I think the Tide, especially Jordan took it as an insult. He was absolutely phenomenal that day. Final score was Bama 17-0. Jordan did have 31 tackles from his middle linebacker spot.
