"He had some struggles on both sides of the ball. And I knew once the field goal came up, it was just like (kicking camps in) the summer: Just put it through the uprights. We had to go to an open lot and practice in the dark. "I couldn't have been more proud of Alex because he struggled a little bit tonight. "Not many people get second chances," said Fracassi, who tossed a pass to Donovan near the pylon for that two-point conversion. That play set up Alex for the walk-off 20-yarder on fourth and 3 during the second OT period. Donovan scooted in for a 14-yard score to trim that deficit.

Before the 2013 Iron Bowl, the elder Lyon, who was 91 at the time and who passed away in 2020 at the age of 98, was honored for being Auburn's oldest living football player.
