The Iron Bowl played on November 30, 1985, where the Crimson Tide and the Tigers of Auburn renewed their rivalry, turned out to be a special game. Played at Legion Field, Birmingham, Alabama; some call this the best of all the Iron Bowl meetings between these two rivals. 'Bama had a 16-10 lead entering the fourth quarter. It was a close game, but what would occur for the final 15 minutes was as exciting as football can get. There were four lead changes in the fourth quarter, the third coming with 57 seconds left when Auburn's Reggie Ware scored from a yard out. The Tigers went for two and failed, which left the door open for Tide hope. QB Mike Shula drove the Crimson Tide 45 yards to the Auburn 35 in six plays, converting a fourth-and-6 along the way, and Van Tiffin split the uprights from 52 yards out. The final score was Alabama 25, No. 7 Auburn 23. ESPN calls this the 91st-best college game ever.
