Auburn (8-3) has nothing to lose, so expect for it to play nasty.
In one of the best rivalries in college football, physicality is the main course and the matchup will be Alabama’s offensive line versus the Tigers’ defensive front.
For a group anchored by Derrick Brown and Marlon Davidson, Auburn has 26 sacks, 82 tackles for loss and 34 quarterback hurries. Defensive coordinator, Kevin Steele wants to get after Mac Jones in his first-ever Iron Bowl start and the Crimson Tide’s offensive front must be ready to battle.
