Channel, points for today's Iron Bowl

TUSCALOOSA – Welcome to the Iron Bowl.

Auburn football and No. 13 Alabama will wrap up their regular seasons this afternoon with results that are similarly negative despite very different records.

Alabama (8-3, 4-3 SEC) has already sealed its first three-loss season in 14 years. Another loss would mark the first season with at least four losses since Nick Saban’s first season in 2007, while also eliminating the few remaining chances in the College Playoffs.

It’s a different story for Hugh Freeze and Auburn (5-6, 2-5 SEC), which are fighting for bowl eligibility. The Tigers endured what seemed like a losing season entering the second year of the Freeze era and have won three of their last four. That puts them one win away from matching last season’s win total, meaning another win would secure them a postseason appearance.

Sure, the Tigers and Crimson Tide each have something to offer in terms of postseason prospects. But all in all, a relatively anemic Iron Bowl compared to last year means that the motivation is more than ever for bragging rights.

Watch here as Auburn tries to close out its regular season with its fourth win in five games.

(This story will be updated as the game progresses.)

Auburn football scores first points

8:27, Q2: It took four drives, but the Tigers finally put an incorrect number on the scoreboard.

Their second trip to the red zone ended in three points when Ian Vachon made a field goal from 37 yards out.

It’s 7-3 Alabama.

Auburn football gets another takeaway

11:24, Q2: After Auburn forced a fumble on the Crimson Tide’s first drive, the Tigers got another takeaway when safety Caleb Wooden fended off Jalen Milroe to stop Alabama’s first drive of the second quarter.

The Tigers take over at their own 9-yard line.

It’s still 7-0 Alabama.

EQ1: Alabama 7, Auburn 0

The first quarter ends with the Tigers still scoreless despite knocking on the door.

They’ll face four-and-four to start the second quarter, and before the final seconds of the first, it appeared as if Hugh Freeze was leaving his offense on the field instead of attempting a 36-yard field goal with Ian Vachon.

Alabama football strikes first

3:18, Q1: It’s the Crimson Tide who strike first in this year’s Iron Bowl, as quarterback Jalen Milroe scored a 19-yard rushing touchdown on a five-play, 52-yard drive.

It’s 7-0, Alabama.

Auburn football is still scoreless after two drives

7:56, Q1: The Tigers were unable to capitalize on their opening duel.

Auburn managed to get to the Alabama 29-yard line, but a 39-yard field goal attempt by Ian Vachon on fourth-and-9 tied the game.

From there, the Crimson Tide will take over.

It’s still scoreless in Tuscaloosa.

Alabama’s first drive ends with a rocky recovery for Auburn football

11:42, Q1: After the Tigers opened this year’s Iron Bowl 3-3, Auburn managed to get a crucial takeaway on the Crimson Tide’s first drive when the Alabama freshman receiver made a fumble. Linebacker Eugene Asante fell on it. The Tigers will take over at their own 27 yard line.

It’s still scoreless in Tuscaloosa.

Our prediction for Auburn football vs. Alabama

No. 13 Alabama 38, Auburn 31: Something Auburn fans can celebrate is that the Tigers have finally gotten back into shape. They’ve shown enough to expect a competitive game in Tuscaloosa, but they’re also headed to a place where Auburn hasn’t won in 14 seasons. To beat the Crimson Tide it would take a perfect and even better performance, and I don’t think that’s going to happen.
