The 1991 Iron Bowl was a throwback to the defensive struggles of the 1960s. Alabama defeated Auburn 13-6 at Legion Field without allowing a touchdown, relying on a suffocating defense and the leg of kicker Hamp Moore.
The Kevin Turner Catch
The game’s only touchdown came from Alabama fullback Kevin Turner, who caught a pass from quarterback Danny Woodson. It was enough. Alabama’s defense, orchestrating the “Stallings Squeeze,” refused to let Auburn cross the goal line.
A Rivalry Shift
The win marked Alabama’s second straight victory in the series, signaling a definitive shift in power away from Auburn (who had dominated the late 80s) back to Tuscaloosa. It set a tone of physical, defensive-minded football that would define the Crimson Tide for the next several years.
