Eric Kleypas, Auburn’s director of athletic turf, stands at the 10-yard line as Louis scores and immediately fears the students will storm the field.

In the far end zone Hayden Hart leaps out of the stands, losing his right shoe, and runs toward Malzahn. Hart has a collection of gloves and wristbands Auburn players have thrown to him, and he wants to add to his trove. He squeezes through the crowd, slips past Melvin Owens, the university police officer assigned to Malzahn — “People were high-fiving me just because I was close to Coach,” Owens says — and lunges over several people to grab Malzahn’s visor. Putting the visor around his neck, Hart turns and weaves back to his seat to find his shoe.

The way he makes the connection between the two games was great literary work. I think most Auburn fans who have followed the team closely over the past few weeks will truly appreciate the article

Damn good read.
