Alabama Defeats Auburn 28-14 in Iron Bowl

In the Iron Bowl held at Bryant-Denny Stadium, No. 13 Alabama defeated Auburn 28-14, marking their fifth consecutive win in the series. Auburn struggled offensively, with running back Jarquez Hunter managing only 56 yards, significantly below his recent performances. Alabama quarterback Jalen Milroe excelled, completing 75% of his passes and contributing to three of the team's four touchdowns. Auburn's inability to capitalize in the red zone was evident, as they scored just six points on three trips inside Alabama's 20-yard line. The victory improved Alabama's record to 9-3, keeping their playoff hopes alive, while Auburn fell to 5-7, missing bowl eligibility for the second time in three years. Despite some questionable coaching decisions from Auburn's Hugh Freeze, the Crimson Tide's strong defensive performance was pivotal in securing the win.
