It wasn't an all-
Cam Newton day for Auburn stories. I wrote this one about tight end
Philip Lutzenkirchen as well. Here's how it starts:
AUBURN, Ala. -- The catch will be replayed for eternity in Iron Bowl circles.
Auburn tight end Philip Lutzenkirchen slipped past Alabama’s defenders, catching a wide open throwback pass from Cam Newton for a 7-yard touchdown that lifted the Tigers to a 28-27 victory last Friday.
Then came the dance. Teammates still can’t quite decide how to describe it.
“The leprechaun dance,” left tackle Lee Ziemba said.
“It looked like a Riverdance to me,” right guard Byron Isom said.
“I asked him: ‘What was that?’” offensive coordinator Gus Malzahn said. “He said he was excited. Wow. We’ll give him that one since that was such a big play. We’ll let it go that one time.”
RELEASE THE 'KIRCHEN!
ReplyDeleteI like the Riverdance comment.
ReplyDeleteBut in Lutz' defense, I'm gonna say he was just trying to make sure his feet were in bounds. Yeah, that's the ticket.
