TUSCALOOSA, Ala. -- The second-ranked Auburn Tigers had trailed in seven of their 11 victories this season and overcame double-digit deficits to beat Clemson, South Carolina and Georgia.Of course, none of those opponents were named Alabama.
And, of course, it didn't matter.
Auburn rallied from a 24-0 deficit and stunned No. 9 Alabama 28-27 in the 75th Iron Bowl here at Bryant-Denny Stadium on Friday afternoon to remain in national title contention.
Tigers quarterback Cam Newton, the front runner for the Heisman Trophy, again proved that he won't let any off-the-field distractions negatively affect him.
The embattled Newton rallied the undefeated Tigers (12-0 overall, 8-0 SEC) from a seemingly insurmountable double-digit deficit to stun the sellout crowd and snap the Tide's 20-game home win streak.
