Iron Bowl 2010 Results: Sweet Auburn Victory Inside Rival's Court

Iron Bowl 2010 has been that exciting more than the expected. The series which has been considered to be the one of the the best and most hard-fought rivalries in all sports finally happened with awesome results. A lot of unexpected things happened inside the Bryant-Denny Stadium, the home court of the Alabama Crimson Tide. Home court advantage is not a guarantee after all, as a lot of twists took place.


Tiger's Cam Newton has become the star of the night after he did an improbable victory lap which has awaken the 24 points-down team. The Crimson Tide fans just watched the QB in awe as he made his 3 touch downs and ran after another which amazingly kept the team on track a shot. 


The first half seemed to be doom's day for the Tigers as they could barely catch up with 24-7 score. Orange colored cheerers on one end of the stadium kept their fingers crossed and remained hopeful that they could still grab the win. The 314-2 lead in total yards lead of Alabama is so difficult to beat but miracles just happen. Call it miracle as you would do it in front of the rival's crowd and within the rival's grounds.


With their great defense, Auburn was able to surpass the great challenge. Newton threw scoring passes of 36 yards to Emory Blake, then 70 yards to Terrel Zachary and finally a 7 yard to Philip Lutzenkirchen. All these gave the team their first ever lead of the game with 11:55 remaining time. 


"I couldn't be more proud of our football team", said Auburn head coach Gene Chizik. "That was a game that will certainly go down the history. It's hard to come back when you're down, 24-0. It was something that we had done before in terms of having to overcome a lot of adversity".


"Our defense did a great job of holding them to three points in the second half, and that was off a turnover of a bobbled punt," Chizik added. "I couldn't be more proud of our defense. Obviously, it was ugly in the first half. I think everybody saw that, bu they responded really well"


Auburn will then face South Carolina for the SEC championship game next week.
