Van Tiffin's last second 52 yard field goal lifted Alabama to a dramatic 25-23 victory over archrival Auburn in the 1985
Iron Bowl and is considered by many to be the greatest play in Alabama football history.

Alabama was thoroughly dominating heavily favored Miami in the national championship game when Gino Toretta managed to
hook up with wideout Lamar Thomas on a deep route. Thomas appeared to be on his way to an easy score when George Teage appeared
from nowhere to not only stop Thomas, but strip him of the ball.
The Goal Line Stand

The Superdome
New Orleans, LA
Bear Bryant's #2 ranked Alabama squad held a 14-7 lead late in the third quarter against #1 ranked Penn State with the
Nittany Lions threatening to tie. Alabama defensive back Don McNeal had made a touchdown saving tackle at the 1 on second
down and the defense had tightened, stuffing Penn State on third. Bama lineman Marty Lyons was prophetic when he told Lions
QB Chuck Fusina "You better pass." Instead, Paterno decided to run and Bama held, giving Bama Bryant's fifth National Title.
