ESPN’s Kirk Herbstreit and Chris Fowler Had Perfect Reaction to Alabama’s Stunning Comeback

No. 8 Alabama pulled off a miraculous play on fourth-and-goal from the 31-yard line with just seconds left to play to take down Auburn in the Iron Bowl and save the Crimson Tide's hopes of making the College Football Playoff.

Quarterback Jalen Milroe threw an absolute dime to receiver Isaiah Bond in the corner of the end zone, putting Alabama up 27–24 in dramatic fashion.

It was a stunning win on all counts, leaving the Auburn crowd in disbelief and fans following at home with their collective jaw on the floor. The comeback was so improbable that even professional broadcasters struggled to keep their composure.

ESPN's Kirk Herbstreit and Chris Fowler, who were busy preparing to call Saturday night's game between Florida and No. 5 Florida State, had a camera on them as they watched the finish of the Iron Bowl on a monitor.

For a moment, they turn from broadcast professionals to little kids.

Fans loved the pure, human moment from the two normally laid back commentators.

With the win, Alabama is set to take on No. 1 Georgia in the SEC championship next weekend in a game that will carry major implications for the College Football Playoff.
