00:00The other big matchup in the conference takes place on Saturday night, but coach, it's the Iron

00:05Bill. You know this game well. You were on the field last Saturday. We'll get into that in just

00:11a couple of minutes. From the series perspective, Alabama has won five straight. Auburn went to

00:17deuce night last week in the out-of-conference win. They're going back to Ashton Daniels for

00:23this matchup. Coach, five-and-a-half point underdog for Auburn. I think they're live.

00:29I think this is my bet of the week. They strike the upset over Alabama.

00:33I think if you don't make sure Auburn's live, you're not paying attention. In the 17 times

00:40the Iron Bowl has been played at Jordan-Hare Stadium field in Auburn, Auburn's won 10 out

00:46of 17. I know I won 93, 95, 97, and I was an underdog the first two times we played.

00:53And was able to win that game because at home, in the dark, a night game, in the atmosphere,

00:59it is a huge game. I remember before the game of my first year there, they asked one of our

01:05fans on the interview for TV, is this game life and death? And he said, oh no, it's much

01:11more important than that. That's how this game is in that state. But I really can see a walk-off

01:17field goal for Auburn to win this football game. Alabama better be ready because they still

01:21don't run it quite well enough. And I think if Ashton Daniels can play clean, not turn the ball

01:27over, that's the quarterback they're going to go back to. He gives them a dual threat. He gives

01:31them enough of a run and pass option. And remember, their defense has been superior most of the season

01:37has been very, very good. That's going to allow them to slow down Alabama because Alabama is not

01:42a great running team. They're a good running team, but not a great running team. And I think that puts

01:47Auburn in a perfect position. So again, I've got this feeling that Auburn, and let me say this,

01:52when I watched that Mercer guy, I was there this past weekend, there's an enthusiasm. There's an

01:56excitement again. They've got spirit because they've changed the coach. They've had two quarterbacks

02:01have great games and they just feel good about themselves. And that positive attitude is very

02:06important when you're going into a game like this one.
