Auburn has an opportunity to do two things on Saturday: enter its bowl game with a win and spoil Alabama’s chances at the College Football Playoff.
The Iron Bowl has been a conversation since the summer. Tigers’ defensive lineman Tony Fair posted a video to Twitter with the caption: “We’re comin’ to take the head off the elephant.”
Bo Nix echoed those words at SEC Media Days, and he continued by stating how Alabama receives all the calls from officials.
Regardless of the chatter, Auburn is up for the matchup at Jordan-Hare Stadium. The Tigers have won four of seven games at home against the Tide in the Nick Saban era — including victories in 2017 and 2019.
