Marquee pregame notes for Alabama’s matchup against Auburn

We have arrived at Alabama’s regular-season finale of its football campaign.

The annual Iron Bowl against Auburn returns to Bryant-Denny Stadium as CBS has the call at 2:30 p.m. CT.

Nick Saban and the Crimson Tide look to finish strong with a victory while Auburn wants to become bowl-eligible. Carnell “Cadillac” Williams, an interim head coach for the Tigers, has Auburn playing better as of late. Auburn enters the matchup with much energy, and Alabama has to match the intensity. Tide fans covered the University of Alabama campus hours before kickoff.

Check out the marquee pregame notes below.

-Jahmyr Gibbs, Alabama’s starting running back, is back in action.
