Excerpt from Glory Days

"The 1961 'Punt, Bama, Punt' game against Auburn is one of the most iconic games in college football history. With Alabama trailing 7-3 late in the fourth quarter, coach Paul Bryant called for a fake punt on fourth down. The Tide executed the play perfectly, and quarterback Pat Trammell ran for a first down. Alabama went on to score a touchdown and win the game 9-7, preserving their perfect season and their national championship hopes.
The game is still remembered today as one of the greatest examples of Bryant's coaching genius. It's a story of guts, determination, and the never-say-die spirit that has come to define Alabama football." - John Talty, Glory Days
