It’ll be exactly six years to the day since the Kick Six, it’ll be thirty years since the First Time Ever, and Alabama comes in to Jordan-Hare Stadium a wounded animal playing for its life. Many Tide fans think that because the hope of a national championship is gone, the season’s a bust. I hope the team views things the same way.
This is about as even a game that Auburn has had against Alabama on paper in more than a decade. Under Saban, the line has always been a couple scores, even when Auburn has had the better team and won.
