Jackson’s big moment at Auburn came in a 38-35 victory over fourth-ranked Florida in the seventh game of the Tigers’ undefeated 1993 season. Jackson intercepted Florida quarterback Danny Wuerffel with Auburn trailing 10-0 in the first quarter and returned it 96 yards for a touchdown.

Was there in the student section end zone. Still, one of my favorite games I ever went to and I believe the loudest.
RIP Calvin.

Damn sad. I was at the game as well. Happened right in front of me and saw him streak down the sideline the other way. Couldn't talk for a week after that game. Every time Florida would break the huddle the stadium would go crazy screaming.

I was there in the student section as well. Grew up in an Alabama household so naturally an Alabama fan. This game turned me into an Auburn fan. It sounded as if we were up 27-14 at the half instead of down 27-14. I knew then I could never root against these guys again. Hated Bama ever since. I have bled orange and blue ever since.

Loved that secondary with Brian Robinson and Chris Shelling.

How could you leave off the hardest hitting corner back ever... Fred Smith. Dude would rock people.

Same thing happened to me at the first Iron Bowl hosted at Jordan-Hare.

I can remember screaming my head off, and not being able to hear myself...at all. It was freaking loud.

Sad. I wonder if it was COVID.
