description "The Auburn Tigers managed their first victory over Alabama since 1949 with a convincing 28-0 trouncing of the Crimson Tide. Bobby Freeman closed out his career with a brilliant performance in leading the Auburn attack. He received able assistance from the entire forward wall and the other starting backs Freeman accounted for the first touchdown with 12 seconds remaining in the first quarter, climaxing a 58 yard drive. Childress added the extra point and the men of Shug Jordan led at the half 7-0. It took Auburn just three plays of the second half to score again. After the kickoff, Auburn moved in two plays to the Tide 41 yard line, from where Bobby Freeman on the option play went all the way to score.It was Freeman again who ran and guided the Tigers near paydirt later in the third quarter. This time, however, Childress scored the touchdown from the two. Early in the fourth period two long Freeman aerials moved the ball to the Alabama one. From here Freeman sneaked over for his third tally of the afternoon. The victory was Auburn's sixth in a row after a shakey start, and individual performances in the game gave several Auburn men the individual championships in the conference. Bobby Freeman took over the lead in total offense; Jim Pyburn took the pass reception title, while Joe Childress took the rushing title. The traditional game with Alabama was the finale for eight Auburn seniors: Bobby Freeman, Jack Locklear, Jimmy Long, Dave Middleton, George Atkins, Al Brame, Ted Neura, and Jim Hall." (Description from the 1955 Glomerata)
