Sammie Coates didn’t make the biggest play of the 2013 Iron Bowl, though he probably made the second biggest. Coates got behind the Alabama secondary for a 39-yard touchdown reception from Nick Marshall with 32 seconds remaining, tying the game and setting in motion a sequence of events that would end in the “Kick Six” — Chris Davis’ 109-yard return of a missed field goal that gave Auburn a 34-28 victory over the two-time defending national champions.

EDITOR’S NOTE: Every day until Aug. 29, Creg Stephenson is counting down significant numbers in Alabama football history, both in the lead-up to the 2025 football season and in commemoration of the Crimson Tide’s first national championship 100 years ago. The number could be attached to a year, a uniform number or even a football-specific statistic. We hope you enjoy. Two numbers — 18 and 396 — tell the story of how far Jay Barker came in a little less than two years.

South Alabama on Tuesday added former Sacred Heart defensive lineman Janier Armstead to its 2025 roster. Armstead (6-foot-2, 246 pounds) totaled 25 tackles and 1.5 sacks for the Pioneers — an FCS independent — as a redshirt freshman last season. A native of Carney’s Point, N.J., he had three years of eligibility remaining. Armstead is the 12th transfer portal addition for South Alabama during the spring cycle.

First time I’ve seen a guy get tagged out by his hair.
Someone should ask Acuna what would have happened if he’d done that.
Saban: We need to get together as a group and solve all these problems in college football. Also Saban: I'm not sure we need a commission. Me: That sounds like a commission.
Last week Nick Saban's name was floated as co-chair for a President Trump's potential Commission on College Sports. Nick Saban today: "I'm not sure we really need a Commission." https://t.co/dzYi02Pngl
