Summary

Alabama faces immense pressure as the Crimson Tide head to Jordan-Hare Stadium for the Iron Bowl showdown against an Auburn Tigers squad revitalized under interim coach DJ Durkin. Can Kalen DeBoer avoid a disastrous second season missing the expanded College Football Playoff, or will Auburn’s late-season quarterback change and newfound offensive spark upend the playoff picture? Zac Blackerby and Jimmy Stein break down key matchups, including Cam Coleman versus standout freshman corner Dijon Lee, and discuss Alabama’s evolving run game and Auburn’s explosive receiver duo. The hosts debate whether Ashton Daniels and the Auburn offense can exploit Alabama’s weak points, what it will take for Ty Simpson to lead the Tide, and which playmakers must step up in this classic SEC rivalry. With bowl eligibility, playoff dreams, and state bragging rights on the line, which team finds a winning edge in the fourth quarter?
