Kalen DeBoer Prepares for First Iron Bowl

Kalen DeBoer, head coach of Alabama football, has expressed pride in the team's growth and performance throughout the season while discussing the upcoming Iron Bowl against Auburn. He emphasized the importance of focusing on the immediate challenge of playing Oklahoma before fully shifting attention to the rivalry game. DeBoer acknowledged the historical significance of the Iron Bowl, noting that it is a game that unites the entire state and carries high stakes for both teams. Currently, Alabama is on a four-game winning streak against Auburn, with their last matchup concluding in a narrow victory for the Crimson Tide. DeBoer highlighted the atmosphere and fan passion surrounding rivalry games, indicating that this one will be particularly meaningful given its in-state nature. The Iron Bowl is scheduled for November 30 at Bryant-Denny Stadium, following Alabama's game against Oklahoma on Saturday.
