The Alabama Crimson Tide football team couldn’t resist taking a shot at Auburn’s Demarcus Riddick after Jalen Milroe’s touchdown pass. In a tweet, the Alabama football account posted a photo of Milroe’s touchdown throw with the caption, “When you leave @DemarcusRiddick in the dust.” The tweet was a clear jab at Riddick, who was beaten by the Alabama receiver on the play.
The exchange was likely a response to Riddick’s pre-game trash talk, in which he expressed confidence in his ability to shut down the Alabama receivers. However, it was the Tide who ultimately got the last laugh, as Milroe’s touchdown pass helped Alabama secure a convincing victory over their arch-rivals.
The tweet was met with a mix of reactions from fans, with some praising the Alabama football account for its clever trolling, while others criticized the team for taking a shot at an opposing player. Regardless, the exchange added to the already-intense rivalry between Alabama and Auburn, and is sure to be remembered for a long time.
