Number five: Bo over the top

In the last Iron Bowl appearance of iconic Alabama coach Paul Bear Bryant, the Tigers sent the Tide home losers. This play was an iconic collegiate football play in the 1982 Iron Bowl. With two minutes in the game left, Auburn drove all the way down the field and running back Bo Jackson jumped over the top of the Alabama defensive line for a touchdown. Auburn won 23-22 and ended Alabama’s nine game winning streak over Auburn.
