The Auburn Express

In part two of our countdown, The War Rapport dives into the Top 5 Auburn Football Plays of the Last 25 Years, breaking down the biggest moments that defined Auburn’s modern football legacy.

We start with Cam Newton’s Heisman moment against LSU—where he bulldozed a future NFL All-Pro, Patrick Peterson, on a legendary touchdown run. That play silenced all doubts and sealed his Heisman frontrunner status. Next, we relive the 4th-and-12 conversion from Jason Campbell to Courtney Taylor in 2004 vs. LSU—a moment that kept Auburn’s perfect season alive and symbolized one of the SEC’s most underrated duos.

At #3, it’s the Prayer at Jordan-Hare, where Nick Marshall’s miracle heave to Ricardo Louis defied logic and Georgia heartbreak. We talk reactions in real-time, whether the ball was overthrown or underthrown, and how one of the most bizarre plays in college football history actually unfolded.

Coming in at #2 is Wes Byrum’s game-winning kick in the 2010 National Championship against Oregon. While Michael Dyer’s run may have been flashier, it was Byrum’s clutch foot that sealed the title and capped one of the most unlikely championship runs ever.

And finally, #1 is the play that needs no introduction: The Kick Six. Chris Davis’ 109-yard return off a missed Alabama field goal attempt stunned the world and delivered the most iconic finish in college football history.

This episode is packed with perspective, storytelling, and behind-the-scenes insight from a fan’s lens. Whether you lived these moments or are just learning about them, this countdown captures everything that makes Auburn football unforgettable.
