The toughest defender on the field at Jordan-Hare on Saturday night didn't even play when No. 6 Auburn upset No. 1 Alabama 26-14.

As fans rushed the field and Auburn quarterback Jarrett Stidham was being interviewed by CBS sideline reporter Allie LaForce, fans stormed the field.

One girl didn't quite make it and quickly spread across the Internet like wild fire.

Stidham and No. 6 Auburn dominated top-ranked Alabama, earning a berth in next week's Southeastern Conference title game.

The Tigers quarterback passed for 237 yards and ran for a fourth-quarter touchdown to set up a rematch with No. 7 Georgia in the SEC championship game Dec. 2 with a playoff spot almost certainly on the line.

"He made plays with his feet," Auburn coach Gus Malzahn said of his quarterback right after the game. "He made some great throws. So proud of our team. So proud of our defense. That quarterback (Hurts) is unbelievable running the football."

Auburn (10-2, 7-1 SEC, No. 6 CFP) mostly shut down the league's top scoring offense for their second win in three weeks over the top team in the playoff rankings. They won the Western Division a week after dispatching the Bulldogs with similar precision.

The Crimson Tide (11-1, 7-1) made a rare assortment of mistakes for a team that had appeared to be headed toward a shot at a fourth consecutive SEC title and playoff berth.

Auburn's Kerryon Johnson delivered a jump pass for a touchdown and ran 30 times for 104 yards before leaving in the fourth quarter with an injury.

The story in the immediate aftermath, however, was the beating the bushes were taking around Jordan-Hare Stadium.
