Auburn at Alabama

Alabama holds a 42-35-1 lead in the series and has won four of the last six. Auburn holds a 7-2 edge in Iron Bowls played at Bryant-Denny Stadium. Nick Saban is 6-6 all-time against Auburn, 4-3 while at Alabama and 2-3 as head coach at LSU.

Auburn won last year's contest 34-28 at Jordan-Hare Stadium when Chris Davis returned Adam Griffith's missed field goal 109 yards for a touchdown.

Alabama is 10-1 overall and 6-1 in the SEC. The Crimson Tide's only loss happened Oct. 4 to Ole Miss 23-17. Last Saturday, Alabama cruised to a 48-14 victory over Western Carolina.

Led by quarterback Blake Sims, Alabama's offense scores 35 points per game and averages 279.9 passing yards per game. For the season, Sims has completed 187 of 301 attempts for 2,676 yards, with 20 touchdowns and four interceptions. Amari Cooper leads the team with 90 catches for 1,349 yards and 11 touchdowns.

As a unit on the defensive side, Alabama has been stingy all year by allowing just 14.5 points per game.

After losing two-straight, Auburn got back on track by beating Samford 31-7 Saturday. The Tigers got off to a slow start but took control as many of the starters got most of the second half off to rest up for the Iron Bowl. Several players did not see action against Samford, including Duke Williams. Williams should be ready to go against Alabama after suffering a knee injury in the loss to Texas A&M.

Nick Marshall leads an offense that averages 35.1 points per game and 210.2 yards per game through the air. This season, Marshall is 136 of 228 passing for 1,859 yards with 15 touchdowns and six interceptions. On the ground, Marshall has 731 yards on 133 carries and 11 touchdowns.
