  • Alabama defeated Auburn 27-24 in the Iron Bowl with a fourth-and-31 touchdown pass from quarterback Jalen Milroe to wide receiver Isaiah Bond with 32 seconds remaining.
  • The touchdown play, known as 'Gravedigger', is practiced regularly by Alabama and is designed for end-of-game situations to 'put opponents to sleep for good'.
  • This is the first time the play has gone to Bond in a game or practice, and he was not the intended target.
  • Alabama's win was sealed with an interception by Terrion Arnold with 26 seconds left.
  • Alabama will face undefeated Georgia next week in the SEC Championship Game.
