We’re barreling toward the end of November and Auburn football has only one game left on their regular-season schedule: The Iron Bowl. The 10-1 Alabama Crimson Tide will travel to the Plains next weekend to take on the 6-5 Tigers, who are riding a three-game losing streak into the biggest game of the season.
The Tide have remained on top of the SEC West with only one loss, but they’ve come dangerously close to losing in their past two SEC matchups against LSU and Arkansas. The entire football community continues to scream Bryce Young’s praises to the heavens, but the Alabama defense is giving up points left and right.
Despite the nosedive that Auburn football took after beating Ole Miss in dramatic fashion at home, Bama fans remain nervous to play the Iron Bowl in Jordan-Hare Stadium, and for good reason. The past two times that the Tide has come to JHS–2017 and 2019–they’ve lost:
This defense won't allow me to feel good about it, plus recent history. They seem to sell their souls to the devil when hosting it at their place and have a bunch of guys play the game of their lives against alabama down there.

Auburn is spooky and we aren’t as dominant as I would like for us to be.

Honestly, not good

Not good honestly. I’m worried about o line false start penalties killing drives. It’ll be a nailbiter.

Crazy things happen in Jordan-Hare Stadium. Alabama is going to the SEC Championship to play Georgia no matter the outcome of the Iron Bowl, but a loss to an unranked, 6-5 Auburn football team may be enough to shake up the CFP rankings.
