Fans are relieved after the ugly Iron Bowl against Auburn

ByNBAUSA


The crimson tide receded from a stunning loss at home to Oklahoma destroying Eastern Illinois 56-0 last Saturday. But all eyes were on it Alabama football in Week 14 as the team traveled to Auburn for the Iron Bowl.

Alabama rode even harder the most important iron vessel this season as a win would send the Tide to the SEC title game. But the Tigers didn’t want to be quiet. After Alabama took a 17-0 lead early in the second quarter, Auburn made things interesting.

The Tigers came back, scoring 13 unanswered points. Auburn then tied the game at 20-20 on Jeremy Cobb’s two-yard touchdown run in the fourth quarter. Alabama answered with a clutch 15-play, 75-yard drive, capped by Isaiah Horton’s third reception of the game. Cullen DeBoer missed a field goal, opting for it on 4th-and-2 from the 6-yard line. And the head coach’s bold gamble paid off as Horton’s catch gave the Tide the lead.

Horton caught five passes for 35 yards and three scores on Saturday. He is just the third Alabama player three touchdown catches in the Iron Bowl in the last 30 years, according to ESPN. Jailen Waddle and Amari Cooper are the other Crimson Tide receivers to accomplish the feat.

Auburn looked to answer. The Tigers put together a 12-play drive, marching deep into Alabama territory. But the Crimson Tide’s defense stepped up. Cam Coleman caught the momentum and headed up the sideline when Bray Hubbard stripped the ball and Deontae Lawson recovered the fumble.

Alabama pulled out a 27-20 Iron Bowl victory and the fans breathed a sigh of relief.

“Blame the refs all you want, but to win games like this, you have to make winning plays when it matters. One team did that tonight, the other didn’t. Thanks Auburn for reminding me how much I hate you.”

@CraftBeerBot1 commented:
“Just like Oklahoma, we did everything we could to make that game, and Auburn just didn’t want it.”

Mr. Williams 4k added:
“I shouldn’t bother eating after winning”
