| Summary: | This image is a photograph used in the book Auburn, a Pictorial History of the Loveliest Village by Mickey Logue and Jack Simms, 1st edition, 1981, depicting the history of the city and the university. From page 177: Travis Tidwell (11) led Auburn to a 14-13 upset victory over three-touchdown favored Alabama at Legion Field in 1949. How sweet it was for Auburn fans who the year before had watched the Tide swamp the Tigers, 55-0, in the first football game between the two institutions in forty-one years. Many Auburn players helped make it possible to beat Alabama in 1949, but Tidwell was the man they carried off the field when the game ended. Photo source: Glomerata, Auburn University Archives.
