The state of Alabama got
two holidays this week: Thanksgiving Day
and the 83rd Iron Bowl.
The Auburn-Alabama
rivalry has always been a heated and bitter contest, but something is coming
this time: REVENGE.
Coach Saban won’t have
to remind his players about last year. Nope. No sir. They’ll want their reckoning.
The Crimson Tide has
never lost two in a row to Auburn. Defeat has been followed by a victory scoring
an average of 25 points and will likely be up by that much by halftime.
War Buzzard fans, buoyed
by their defeat of the Tide in last year’s Iron Bowl contest, believe they can ruin
their most hated rival’s chances of getting into the College Football Playoffs.
Did they hear what ESPN
analyst Trevor Matich said about Saturday’s
Iron Bowl? “Literally, if a spaceship comes down and abducts the entire Alabama
team, Auburn would have a chance.”
Head Coach Gus Malzahn
is 2-3 against Coach Saban’s Murderball in his six years with the Tigers.
Bama QB Tua Tagovailoa
is not Hurts, Blake Sims or Jake Coker.
He broke A.J. McCarron’s single season touchdown record against The
Citadel last Saturday passing for 340 yards and 4 TDs. On the season, he’s
thrown for 2,865 yards, 31 TDs and just two INTs. He’s also added four rushing
TDs.
There are other rivalry games:
No. 13 Florida at Florida State (who cares?)
No. 4 Michigan at No. 10 Ohio State (Go Buckeyes!)
Georgia Tech at No. 5 Georgia (who cares?)
South Carolina at No. 2 Clemson (Go Gamecocks!)
No. 3 Notre Dame at USC (Go Trojans!)
