quote:It was blocked by the same guy (Newton) and returned by the same guy (David Langner..who recently died). The fricking 2 plays were identical twins of each other. Greg Gantt (a great punter who kicked a bunch of years for the Jets...he's dead,too) was Alabama's punter and he was a 3 step punter, and Auburn's special teams coach made them pay. I'll swear to you, that was about the only way Auburn could have scored on Alabama that day..a turnover for a TD.
The older Bama fans always reference this one as the biggest "what the heck" game. A blocked punt returned for a TD is not very common, but two in one quarter is crazy (and by the same guy).
