Overview
- An Alabama win would secure a trip to the SEC championship game and keep playoff hopes alive, while an Auburn victory would likely end those hopes and make the Tigers bowl-eligible.
- Linebacker Deontae Lawson warned teammates to expect “100,000 fans that want you to fail” at Jordan-Hare and stressed controlling the environment.
- Left tackle Kadyn Proctor called Auburn’s defensive front “a motherf-----,” singling out DE Keldric Faulk, LB Xavier Atkins — whom he noted with 15.5 tackles for loss and 7.5 sacks — and Keyron Crawford as key threats.
- Pro Football Focus notes eight current Alabama players saw snaps in last year’s road win at Auburn, experience the Tide are leaning on in preparation.
- Kickoff is Saturday, Nov. 29 at 6:30 p.m. CT at Jordan-Hare Stadium, and the game will be televised on ABC.
