The Tigers had a great chance to run out the clock after Alabama turned the ball over on downs with 2 minutes left and just two timeouts remaining. Without him, the Tide offense struggled for much of the day. Brooks was playing a more prominent role in the game after Jameson Williams, Alabama's top wide receiver and a Biletnikoff Award finalist, was ejected for targeting covering a punt in the second quarter.
He hit Ja'Corey Brooks for a 28-yard touchdown with 24 seconds left in regulation to force overtime. Young struggled in the first half against a swarming Auburn defense but settled down late in the game. Finley pass fell incomplete on the previous play. After they each converted their first attempts, Alabama won the game in the fourth OT when wide receiver John Metchie III hauled in a pass from quarterback Bryce Young. Once there, the teams traded touchdowns in the first OT period and swapped field goals in the second to set up a battle of two-point conversion plays beginning with the third OT. However, the Tide finally scored their first touchdown with 24 seconds left to force overtime, where the scoring continued. The first game in Iron Bowl history to continue past regulation started with the Crimson Tide trailing 10-0 until midway through the fourth quarter.
3 Alabama completed a rally for the history books to knock off Auburn, 24-22, in four overtimes on Saturday night.
