LOOK: Stephen A Smith Says Auburn’s Kick Six Is the Second-Wildest Finish in Sports History

The Kick Six will go down as one of the best moments in college football history.

As old as it has gotten for Alabama fans, Auburn fans will never tire of seeing it on social media at random points throughout the year.

It's one of the greatest plays in Auburn history, in one of the biggest games, in one of the best seasons the Tigers have ever had.

ESPN's Stephen A Smith recently released his five wildest finishes in all of sports history, and the Kick Six is No. 2 on his list.

Right behind Malcolm Butler's interception in Super Bowl XLIX is the Tigers' Chris Davis returning a missed field goal 103 yards for the miraculous Auburn victory over Alabama.

"I didn't like the fact that Alabama lost this way," Smith said. "But if you're gonna lose, it was in spectacular fashion. I gotta give it to you, I just collapsed on my living room floor, I said 'damn, I can't believe they lost this game like this!' It was something special."

Auburn head coach Hugh Freeze recently shared comments about that fateful Iron Bowl, explaining his reaction to one of the craziest all-time plays in college football.

"I was trying my best, I don't think that I saw it live," Freeze said. "We must have been either playing at the same time or on a flight back, I can’t remember. But I do remember, once I first saw it and found out, I couldn’t wait to call Gus (Malzahn) and say ‘man, you’ve got to explain to me how in the world that felt.’ That’s got to be one of the greatest all time, maybe greatest all time finish in college football? I think it's top three for sure. I mean, what finish that was."
