Nothing except a small spot where grass had been moved. In the left back corner of the end zone, there appeared to be the mark of a cleat.The final step on the most improbable of touchdowns that resulted in Alabama football shocking Auburn.
The shoes of Crimson Tide receiver Isaiah Bond touched the grass with 32 seconds left in the fourth quarter after quarterback Jalen Milroe found him in the back of the end zone on fourth-and-31.
"I knew I had a foot down," Bond said. "It was a great feeling." In a play that Alabama coaches dubbed “Gravedigger,” Milroe danced around for six seconds before tossing his pass into the corner of the end zone for a leaping Bond, who corralled the catch against Auburn cornerback D.J. James, got two feet in bounds and then unfurled a celebration move in which he impersonated the famous image of James Bond, clasping his hands together to form an imaginary gun and thrusting his head upwards.
He's staking claim as the originator of the move in a football game.
"I want everybody to know I did it first,” he said.
If all of this sounds too unbelievable to be true, too wild to ever happen in real life, if it feels like the script for some far-flung Hollywood drama, it is understandable. But it did happen.
For once, Jordan-Hare magic struck in favor of Alabama. On the 10th anniversary of the Kick Six, the Crimson Tide returned the favor and stunned Auburn in the final minute, winning 27-24.
