Can Alabama’s defense stop Tank Bigsby and Auburn’s run game this week?

A lot of confidence is on the side of Auburn for this year’s Iron Bowl matchup.

The Tigers have beaten Alabama in two of the last three years, and its fans see a win on Saturday at Bryant-Denny Stadium.

Despite the coaching of Gus Malzahn and play of Bo Nix at quarterback being unpredictable at times, the one constant for Auburn against the Crimson Tide has been its run game. During its victories in 2007, 2013, 2017 and last year, Malzahn saw his running backs and quarterbacks work together to total 100-plus yards rushing on the Tide.
