Iron Bowl Loss May Portend New Reality for Alabama

John David Mercer-USA TODAY Sports

AUBURN, Ala. — Alabama fans can forever curse the South end zone of Jordan-Hare Stadium. It’s the place where Crimson Tide field goals go to die and the Iron Bowl has been lost twice in six years. The Kick Six was launched from that end zone in 2013. And The Joe No now has happened there, too—Joe Bulovas doinking the upright on a tying field goal attempt from 30 yards out and two minutes remaining, paving the way for a 48-45 Auburn triumph.

Alabama fans can bemoan the two pick-six interceptions quarterback Mac Jones threw, spoiling an otherwise remarkable performance by the guy who spent nine games backing up star QB Tua Tagovailoa.
