Auburn welcomes No. 8 Alabama to Jordan-Hare Stadium on Saturday for the 88th Iron Bowl, and if you’re wondering how you can watch the action live, you’ve come to the right place.
As rivalry weekend begins, the Alabama Crimson Tide is hoping for a chance at making the College Football Playoff. A win over the rival Auburn Tigers, plus a few upsets, could boost their odds.
While on paper it appears that Alabama should get the job done, the fact that the game will be played at Jordan-Hare Stadium can not be ignored. Last time out, Alabama needed four overtimes to win the game. Auburn won the two previous games played on the Plains prior to that.
How can Auburn pull off the upset? Head coach [autotag]Hugh Freeze[/autotag] says it all begins with stopping Alabama quarterback Jalen Milroe.
“We didn’t not fare well against a kid similar to him at LSU. Now he is playing at a very high level with good receivers and good running backs. It is a very difficult task for sure. I don’t know that you completely do that. You got to hope that you do limit those explosive play somewhat. Stopping him, no one has really done that. We got to mix up the coverages and mix up the plan. Figure out if we can get pressure to him or not. Do we need a spy? We have all those things going through our heads right now. How much can our kids handle and do well against all the different sets you might see?”
