WATCH: Auburn scores TD with spectacular juggling reception
Just when you thought Auburn was about to give up, down 19-6 late into the third quarter and facing a 3rd and long situation, quarterback Jeremy Johnson "connected" with receiver Jason Smith for this tipped, juggling 77-yard touchdown play:
What. A. Play. @FootballAU held on to make this incredible touchdown in this @BestBuy highlight. https://t.co/uR95W0z44v

The huge play put the Tigers in striking distance for the upset, cutting Alabama's lead to only six points away entering the fourth quarter.
Despite the fantastic individual effort, Smith's touchdown play was not enough to earn the upset, as the Tide won by a 29-13 margin. Alabama running back Derrick Henry led the way for the Tide's offense with 46 carries for 271 yards and a touchdown.
