Another Lewis Grizzrd favorite (before Dan kicks my Ass


The Year: 1984
Auburn vs Alabama Game
Fourth Quarter
1 second on the clock
Auburn is trailing by 3
Auburns ball on Alabamas One Yard Line

In recent games Coach Dye has been accused of being too conservative and too aggressive simultaneously. He has NO IDEA what to do! He can kick the 3 point Field Goal and head to overtime or go for the TD to win the game.

He paces...
He frets...
He finally decides that he should take it to the Lord in prayer. So he steps away from the sideline and asks the Lord "What should I do?". A moment of silence is followed with a voice that only Dye hears: "Give it to Bo Jackson around the right side for the TD"

Excitedly he runs back to the sideline and calls the play in.....

Its the snap....QB toss to Bo Jackson who heads around the right side and into a swarm of Red Alabama Jerseys and is tackled on the 1.....Auburn loses.

Coach Dye can't believe it....he is floored....he is sad....he is PISSED!

He asks the Lord "Why did you tell me to run Jackson around the right side, Lord???". After a moment of silence the Lord replies "I don't know, Bear, why did we tell him that???"
