Kirk Herbstreit has incredible reaction to Alabama's game-winning touchdown vs. Auburn
Kirk Herbstreit was just as amazed as any other college football fan watching pull off an improbable touchdown to beat Auburn. Facing fourth-and-goal from the 31-yard line in Saturday’s Iron Bowl match against Auburn, the Crimson Tide found themselves needing a miracle to get out of this hole.
They found it as Jalen Milroe somehow found a way to complete a 31-yard pass to Isaiah Bond in the back corner of the end zone. He had all the time he needed with the Tigers playing heavy protection in the secondary, but place the ball just where it needed to be to walk out with the win.
Herbstreit, who was on site in Gainesville preparing to cover Florida State , kept up with the action on a small computer screen. He reacted to the play with great excitement, playfully punching his co-host Chris Fowler. You can view the moment below.
