TUSCALOOSA – Alabama coach Nick Saban’s cheek may have been bloodied by an inadvertent hit from a player’s shoulder pad, but it was his team that ultimately roughed up Auburn
Though riding high into Bryant-Denny Stadium with renewed spirit behind interim head coach Carnell “Cadillac” Williams, the Tigers fell behind 35-14 by halftime and it was an uphill battle too hefty to overcome.Auburn was trying to become bowl eligible and scored the first touchdown of the game on a 24-yard run in the first quarter by quarterback Robby Ashford.
In what could have been his final game in an Alabama uniform, Young threw for 343 yards with three touchdowns in completing 20-of-30 passes with one interception. He also had a short TD run. Playing in his first Iron Bowl, Ashford rushed for 121 yards with two TDs and completed 11-of-23 passes for 77 yards and a score. His progression of the past month is certainly a positive for Auburn going forward.
While the Crimson Tide still has some hope for a CFP berth, the more likely scenario is a major bowl appearance.
