Tiffin is a freshman walk-on for the Tide, and he has done a solid job this season when given the chance. Tiffin is 8-13 in his freshman campaign. He isn't likely to see action this week against Auburn.

But if a game-winning kick is about to be attempted, there has to be some Auburn fans who would prefer he stay on the bench.

Tiffin remembers the first time he saw the highlight of his father's famous boot.

"I was a little kid, probably seven or eight years old," he said. "First time I saw it I watched it at my grandmother's house on a home video."

And what was going through his head?

"I just remember getting kind of nervous watching it. Got nervous for him," Tiffin said, "but he makes it every time."

Auburn fans must cringe every time they see that field goal sail through the uprights.

The younger Tiffin was polite and honest. He said his father hardly ever talks about "The Kick." Pops is proud of it, but doesn't like to brag. There were no interesting stories of growing up as the son of Van Tiffin. The Tiffins lived in a small town and were just another family. Coming to Alabama was a no-brainer for Leigh.

"I guess my whole life I've been a huge 'Bama fan," he said. "It's the only place I wanted to go."

The father and son remain close, talking to each other every day. Van taught Leigh how to kick, but I don't know if you can teach someone how to devastate an opponent with a game-winning 52 yard kick.

We asked Leigh if he'd rather Alabama blow Auburn out by 30 or if he'd prefer that same situation his father was in 21 years ago.

"I guess I'd rather be in a tight situation, make the game-winning kick."

This might be one backup kicker the Auburn fans would prefer to stay away from the field.
