Nick Saban benches Bear Bryant's great grandson after botched field goal
Nick Saban benched Paul Tyson, Bear Bryant’s great grandson on Saturday in the second half of the Iron Bowl, after he mishandled a snap on a field goal attempt, which was lined up from 38 yards.
It came late in the third quarter with 2:18 remaining when Tyson botched the hold, then stood up and tried to fire a pass to Cameron Latu, which fell incomplete from the Auburn 19-yard line. It would have been Alabama’s first points of the night in a frustrating game for the Alabama offense.
Freshman punter James Burnip stepped in for Tyson for the hold of Will Reichard’s 30-yard field goal attempt.
