Alabama football needs to be mindful of the "element of surprise" in the Iron Bowl, according to ESPN's Bill Connelly.
Alabama fans are fully prepared for Auburn to pull out all the stops in Saturday's Iron Bowl to try and spring a major upset and knock the Crimson Tide out of the SEC Championship Game and the College Football Playoff picture.
One of the biggest reasons for anxiety is due to Auburn's offensive improvement since the firing of Hugh Freeze, particularly with quarterbacks Ashton Daniels and freshman Deuce Knight showing promise, with Jackson Arnold now on the bench.
