Noted sports artist Greg Gamble recreates Auburn's amazing victory over favorite Alabama in the 1972 Iron Bowl. A few days before the game, Alabama head coach Bear Bryant incited the rivalry when he told reporters that he would rather, ''beat that cow college once than beat Texas 10 times.'' That set the stage as second-ranked Alabama brought a 10-0 record into Legion Field to meet the ninth-ranked Tigers, who were 8-1. For the entire game, Bama's defense held the Auburn offense in check. With 5:30 remaining in the game, 16-point favorite Alabama held a seemingly insurmountable 16-3 lead. The Tigers, perhaps fueled by Bryant's remarks, came roaring back for one of the best finishes in Auburn-Alabama history. Auburn's Bill Newton blocked two Alabama punts and David Langer ran both in for touchdowns as Auburn came back to win 17-16. Newton and Langer will forever be remembered by Auburn fans for their play in the now famous ?punt, bama, punt? game.
