Texas kicker Bert Auburn nearly upset Alabama, and everyone made the same joke

Alabama doesn’t play Auburn until November 26, but the Crimson Tide nearly fell at the hands of Auburn in Austin on Saturday afternoon.

Texas kicker Bert Auburn, that is.

With 1:29 remaining in the fourth quarter in a game that Alabama led by one, Auburn connected on a 49-yard field goal. Texas’s lead was short-lived, however, as reigning Heisman Trophy winner Bryce Young led the Crimson Tide on a nine-play, 61-yard drive that spanned 1:19 and ended with the game-winning field goal from Will Reichard.

Unsurprisingly, the internet all had the same joke. Bama escaped Auburn once this season… can they do it again during SEC play?
