Fans of the Crimson Tide might want to shield their eyes.
After Auburn’s 48-45 Iron Bowl victory this past weekend, the “one-second” jokes are back — fueled by Auburn making a field goal with only a second left on a running clock to end the first half of the game.
In a tweet on Monday, even the academics started to get in on the fun.
Dr. Joe Aistrup, dean of Auburn’s College of Liberal Arts, released a statement saying, “It is undeniable that when every second counts, Auburn men and women make great things happen.”
“Under Coach Malzahn’s leadership student-athletes have twice proven the difference that :01 can make. In the spirit of continued success, I hereby authorize professors and instructors to add one second to the allotted times for next week’s final exam,” he continued.

Combined with the legend of the “Kick Six” from the 2013 Bama-Auburn game, this new moment is sure to keep the quips — and jabs — coming.
