This would be a memorable result for the Crimson Tide as well, as Alabama won the first Iron Bowl of the Kalen DeBoer era, while also keeping their College Football Playoff hopes alive, as well as denying Auburn a bowl game in the process with their 28-14 win.

Alabama football handled business on Saturday in Tuscaloosa, taking down Auburn 28-14 at Bryant-Denny Stadium. The Tigers hung around, and the game got chippy at times, but the heavily favored Crimson Tide did what it needed to, earning Kalen DeBoer the victory in his first Iron Bowl.
