Auburn’s first scoring opportunity ended in a missed Ian Vachon 39-yard field goal attempt that hooked left. The result of that carried over to Auburn’s next attempt deep in Alabama territory as Hugh Freeze opted to go for it on a fourth down.

After the Alabama Crimson Tide saw a rise in the latest US LBM Coaches Poll on Sunday afternoon as a result of their 28-14 Iron Bowl win over the Auburn Tigers, the same can now be said for the AP Poll Top 25.

Alabama football handled business on Saturday in Tuscaloosa, taking down Auburn 28-14 at Bryant-Denny Stadium. The Tigers hung around, and the game got chippy at times, but the heavily favored Crimson Tide did what it needed to, earning Kalen DeBoer the victory in his first Iron Bowl.
