Auburn releases electric sideline footage from game-winning kick over Georgia
Published:
In sports, you throw out the record books in rivalry games. Saturday’s college football slate only reinforced that cliche. The Auburn Tigers weren’t the only SEC team to pull an upset this weekend, but they had the biggest one, winning 27-24 on the road as 19.5-point underdogs against the No. 1 Georgia Bulldogs.
Auburn (4-2, 2-2 SEC) had lost seven of nine SEC road games entering Week 7. The Tigers hadn’t beaten the Bulldogs in Athens since 2005, but they didn’t let recent history or betting lines dictate their performance.
When Alex McPherson delivered the dagger, pandemonium ensued on head coach Alex Golesh‘s sideline. Auburn showed us so Sunday morning following the win:

Fans can hear Golesh tell his son, Bear, that “he called” the win as they embrace at midfield. Tiger players hustled to their fan section as well to celebrate the triumph, while fans back home headed to Toomer’s Corner.
The Tigers are halfway through the toughest stretch of their schedule. They lost to the Tennessee Volunteers in Week 5, but their bye week preparation paid off in beating Georgia. Now, Auburn hosts LSU and Ole Miss to round out October.
Golesh’s team matches up with Lane Kiffin’s squad at noon E.T. on Saturday (ABC).
