🏈 3 Reasons Auburn Will Beat Alabama in the Iron Bowl This Season

[Max]

The Auburn Tigers lost to arch-rivals Alabama in the 2014, 2015, and 2016 editions of the Iron Bowl, but managed to strike back with a 26-14 win last November. Though the Crimson Tide will surely enter this year's matchup as favorites, here are three reasons why Auburn will prevail this fall in the Iron Bowl for the second straight year.
3. A Bigger Incentive

Unlike Bama, Auburn has more to prove. The Tide are practically an eternal No. 1 and coming off yet another national title. Auburn is lower on everyone's radar and looking to bounce back to national prominence. They've proven that they can shock the world and get the job done. And they'll do it again.
2. Getting it Done on Defense

The Tigers' defense can catch fire at any time. And when it comes time for Alabama to make big plays, Auburn will be right there to stop them in their tracks. Bama is known to try and pick up lots of yardage after a catch, but Auburn's powerful and savvy defense has ample weapons to help shut them down before the ever get the chance to run down the field.
1. Gus Malzahn

With Gus Malzahn at the helm, big plays can be expected from the Tigers. Malzahn is notorious for hanging around in close games and rolling up as many yards as possible, and being able to call upon Jarrett Stidham at quarterback is a major boost. You had best believe Malzahn will be reaching deep into his bag of tricks when he heads to Tuscaloosa.

Writer is clueless about their defense. Their front seven should be pretty good, back half of their defense? It wasn't that good last year.

Too bad we could not exploit that.

I could use the exact same three reasons for why BAMA will win iron bowl.....

In the exact same order .

I could make it four reasons with what I think our offense can be when ALL offensive weapons are utilized .

shit, i wasn't talking about me. i'm a horrible writer. i don't do the words good.

if it WERE written, you'd want people to actually read and comprehend it. if i did it, you might as well get a 3rd grader to do it; they'd do a better job than i ever could.

12UP is also the site that that messed up the story about a Clemson WR buying an expensive sports car, a pot stirring piece. Within hours of posting it, 12UP retracted it by reporting the vehicle was leased.

These guys are bigger click bait artists than Clay Travis on smack.

It wasn't even that.

And I don't believe it was them that started it. Their article is dated today. The "story" broke Friday.

Yes, they did. Also, Jalen had wide open WR and RBs that he missed, as options to get rid of the ball. He has a ton of everything except confidence in his arm. He has the arm, just not the confidence in it.

Auburn won last year at Jordan-Hare. Auburn will not win two in a row. We have won four out of five in Tuscaloosa under Saban. Auburn will not win at Bryant-Denny this year.
