Everyone remembers ‘Kick 6’ from last year, and that’s why this year’s Iron Bowl promises to be a spectacular one as Tide and Tigers fans from across Alabama descend upon Bryant-Denny Stadium.
Blake Sims leads the SEC in QB rating with 25 touchdowns, many of them caught by Amari Cooper. And with T.J. Yeldon and Derrick Henry in the backfield, it could be rolling tide all Saturday.
But not if Nick Marshall’s arm and legs have anything to say about it. With playmaker D'haquille Williams back from a knee injury and SEC leading rusher Artis-Payne, the Tigers are a formidable underdog.
The Crimson Tide’s enormous defensive line will try to make Marshall win it in the air, while the key for Auburn will be to hold onto the ball and not commit any costly turnovers.
Can Auburn spoil Alabama’s national championship hopes yet again? Or will the Tide get to exact sweet revenge in front of a packed home stadium?
