Last night I heard Musburger make the comment about being in Tuscaloosa this upcoming weekend. I thought it odd and ran across this little blurb this morning.
ESPNās remaining 2014 regular-season SEC game schedule ā games on November 22, 27 and 29 ā will be highlighted by a prime time telecast of No. 3 Auburn at No. 5 Alabama in the 79th Iron Bowl. ESPN will televise the in-state showdown ā widely considered one of the most competitive and best rivalries in sports ā on Saturday, Nov. 29, at 7:45 p.m. ET. SEC Network will also offer a live alternate presentation to ESPNās coverage with specific details to be finalized.
Last seasonās matchup featured No. 4 Auburn, with a 10-1 record, defeating an undefeated No. 1 Alabama on the final play of the game, giving Auburn a berth in the SEC Championship Game and ending Alabamaās quest for a third consecutive national title.
This will mark the first time ESPN has televised the Iron Bowl since a prime time telecast on Saturday, Nov. 24, 2007, a 17-10 Auburn victory.
