My question put to Coach Ellis Johnson starts at the 7:30 min mark from this morning’s Sidelines.live show.

I had heard following the Kick Six game that it was Ellis who very alertly figured out Auburn had everything set up perfectly to insert their best returner following the long review for :01 second, and Gus's time out to "ice" the Tahd kicker Griffith. Clutch detail 'catch' by Ellis in the heat of battle, :01 left.

And as he points out, simply UNREAL execution blocking by our kids on a play MADE UP IN-GAME, not to mention avoiding a penalty that would have sent us to OT.

Fun stuff, and I think it important to get the historic record well documented on even minute play details and aftermath before the history revisionists do their thing, as will happen.
