Trust me, Shula is still considered a bit of a hero from his playing days, and a lot of that is from that game.


Van Tiffen got all the glory and deservedley so, but people forget about the clutch performance Shula had on that drive just to get it within range.

Because of that, Shula is and will always be OK in my book.

His coaching tenure colored a lot of people's view of him, particularly if you weren't around for the game.

Shula threw a huge block on a 4th down reverse that allowed Al Bell to get the 1st down early in the drive. Had he not thrown that block, AU wins.


I was sitting in the end zone where Kiffin was kicking towards. We had actually started gathering our stuff to leave just before that 4th down reverse. My first Iron Bowl.
