Auburn and Alabama face off for the 85th edition of the Iron Bowl in Tuscaloosa today. Many things have changed in 2020, including some circumstances around this game, but the Tigers and Crimson Tide will kick off in their traditional Saturday-after-Thanksgiving slot. Alabama enters the contest 7-0, ranked number one in the country and boasting […]

The Auburn Tigers defeated the Tennessee Volunteers 30-17 to bring their season record to 5-2 through seven games. It was a win that Auburn needed badly and a loss that now means Tennessee has dropped five consecutive games. Although the Tigers won by a comfortable margin, this was far from a dominant performance against the […]

The longer this season goes, the more difficult it is to see anyone beating this Alabama squad. Maybe it is poetic that the only thing that remained the same in 2020 is that Nick Saban’s squad is the best you will find in college football. Aside from Alabama, the most interesting thing happening is BYU, […]

Auburn looked like a team that had not played in 21 days. The visiting Tennessee Volunteers managed to jump out to a 10-0 lead in the first half on the road. The Vols were able to run the ball effectively, and quarterback Jarrett Guarantano found Tennessee receivers on short passes that were easy completions with […]

The Auburn Tigers come off their extended break to face the Tennessee Volunteers today. Auburn’s last game was their best performance of the season, a 48-11 drubbing of LSU. However, that contest was 21 days ago since the Tigers had a scheduled bye week and then an unexpected missed game against Mississippi State because of […]

With no matchups between top-25 teams this past Saturday, not a lot was learned about the teams at the top of the college football food chain. The COVID-19 postponements and cancellations have taught us that the teams most able to adapt and maintain an organizational structure will rise to the top. So it is no […]

Last week, we compared the Crimson Tide’s roster to what we thought could be its closest competitor — Clemson. We concluded that there was a fairly substantial gap between the two. This was confirmed again last night, as Dabo Swinney’s Tigers looked helpless in the secondary and overwhelmed along the offensive line in its loss […]

Auburn earned its fourth win of the season by blowing out the LSU Tigers. The game got off to a bit of a slow start as neither offense was able to get much going in the first quarter. However, the Auburn defense set the tone for the rest of the contest in the second quarter […]

There have been no big non-conference matchups. Teams (Michigan) have seen dramatic rises and falls in consecutive weeks. Whole teams (Wisconsin) have been put out of commission. A Heisman contender (Trevor Lawrence) tested out for his team’s biggest regular season game. A major conference (Pac-12) has yet to even step on the field. One thing […]

This was the performance that everyone associated with Auburn football needed. Head coach Gus Malzahn had lost three consecutive games to LSU, and Auburn fans would have been furious if this week was another loss to the Bayou Bengals. The Tigers’ players needed to win this game to build confidence and to give themselves an […]

This week, Auburn takes on the defending national champion LSU Tigers (2-2). However, this year’s version of the Bayou Bengals looks much different than last year’s juggernaut. Coming into the season, LSU knew that it had to replace its offensive and defensive coordinator along with over 15 starters that left for the NFL or graduated. […]

Auburn earned a much needed SEC win on the road at Ole Miss in Week Five. The Tigers’ offense put together its most effective and efficient effort of the season. Auburn’s defense struggled to stop the Rebels’ rushing attack, but did manage to intercept two passes. Meanwhile, the special teams units for Auburn had two […]

The Alabama Crimson Tide seems to be able to pick its score on a weekly basis. And now that the Big Ten season is underway, get ready for the national media to inflate its relevance in the playoff race. Every week of college football brings a little more information about which teams have the staying […]

Well, it wasn’t dominant or pretty, but Auburn traveled to Ole Miss and came away with a much needed victory. There is still plenty of room for improvement from the Tigers, but it will be much easier for the coaches and players to make that happen with a 3-2 record instead of the 2-3 record […]

Auburn travels to Oxford, MS, this week to take on the Ole Miss Rebels (1-3). Ole Miss’ season has been a bit of a rollercoaster ride in the early going. New Ole Miss head coach Lane Kiffin has brought excitement and a high powered offense that was averaging well over 40 points per game after […]

Auburn scored nine points in its first two possessions versus South Carolina. On those two drives, the Tigers amassed 138 yards and were effective running and passing the football. Conversely, the South Carolina Gamecocks had a grand total of negative 12 yards and two punts after their first two offensive possessions. Midway through the first […]

One team has solidified its position above all the rest: The Alabama Crimson Tide. Nick Saban’s squad has been seated at the top of Yellowhammer’s college football power rankings for several weeks. Cruising past No. 3 Georgia, the Tide own the best win of any team this season, and are now seeing the rest of […]

The flight home from Columbia, SC, to Auburn is going to feel much longer than 65 minutes today. After Auburn jumped out to a quick 9-0 lead (because of a missed two point conversion attempt), the Tigers slowly but surely watched the scoreboard change to as much as an 11 point deficit in the fourth […]

Auburn travels to Columbia, South Carolina, today looking for its third win of the season. The Tigers will face off against the Gamecocks, who are coached by two-time Auburn assistant coach Will Muschamp. South Carolina lost to Top 25 teams in each of its first two contests, before blasting Vanderbilt 41-7 in Week 3 to […]

After a chaotic final few minutes, Auburn emerged victorious 30-28 over Arkansas in Jordan-Hare Stadium. The beginning of the game was a bit of a slog as remnants of Hurricane Delta moved through East Alabama, dumping several inches of rain along the way. In the first half especially, the weather conditions made it difficult for […]

The slow-motion reveal of a college football season is well underway. It has been more than six weeks since some teams have taken the field, and we have learned a little more about those teams with the passing of each Saturday. It has become obvious which players took their offseason development seriously (see: Mac Jones) […]

The Auburn Tigers escaped a wet Jordan-Hare Stadium Saturday night with a tight win over the Arkansas Razorbacks. Auburn opened up the game with an early 17-0 lead, and looked good doing it. After struggling against Kentucky and Georgia, the Tigers’ rushing attack finally came alive. Early on, the Tigers’ defense was forcing the Razorbacks […]

The matchup between Auburn and Arkansas was already interesting because of both Auburn head coach Gus Malzahn’s and offensive coordinator Chad Morris’ history with the University of Arkansas. Both men coached for the Razorbacks, with Chad Morris being in Fayetteville as Arkansas’ head coach as recently as December. To say that Razorback fans want to […]

There is a lot of work to be done on The Plains. Auburn was handed a brutal beatdown by the Georgia Bulldogs in the second week of the 2020 SEC football season. Some thought that playing the Bulldogs early in the season because of this year’s schedule shakeup might give Auburn and advantage because of […]
