I didn't realize Auburn had Bama bottled up for much of that last drive. Sacked Shula, had us 4th & 4. Bama runs a reverse, Shula throws a pancake block, we pick up the first down, and the rest is history. Pretty cool.

Al Bell, who I believe was a JC transfer from out West, was an unsung hero for that 1985 Alabama team. Helped (may have scored the winning TD?) in the last minute comeback in Athens, made a great play to help them tie LSU in Baton Rouge and this play.
