Gameday Preview Iron Bowl 2023

Alabama Crimson Tide aim for fourth consecutive win over Auburn Tigers as they look to secure playoff spot. Rivalry game ahead.

The Alabama Crimson Tide are on the road, seeking their fourth consecutive victory over the Auburn Tigers. Despite already securing their place in the SEC Championship, Coach Saban and his team must pass one final test in the regular season to keep their playoff hopes alive. Meanwhile, Auburn has already secured their bowl game eligibility in Hugh Freeze's first year as head coach.

In the words of Patrick Talbot, "We all know Nick Saban's thoughts on Rat Poison and look-ahead spots when it comes to football games. I don't anticipate that changing, especially when you consider the fact that it's a rivalry game. Auburn would love nothing more than to ruin the Tide's playoff chances, so I expect them to come out and throw the 'Kitchen Sink' at Alabama. However, I don't think the 'Kitchen Sink' will be enough. I think everything Alabama has been building in SEC play, will continue tomorrow afternoon."

While Jordan-Hare is a challenging place to play, this Auburn team recently suffered a 31-10 defeat at the hands of New Mexico State at home. Alabama, on the other hand, has College Football Playoff aspirations and knows that this is a must-win game. Eve Hernandez predicts that they will bring the house on Saturday afternoon to keep Peyton Thorne consistently under pressure and uncomfortable throughout the game. The Tigers team struggles to string drives together, especially under pressure.

In summary, the Crimson Tide are looking to extend their dominance over the Tigers as they aim to secure their place in the College Football Playoff. The stakes are high, and both teams are prepared to leave it all on the field in this critical matchup.
