Alabama lost the Iron Bowl to Auburn Saturday, 48-45. The Tide beat themselves as well as losing to the Tigers. Shaun Shivers scored on an 11-yard run with 8:08 left to put Auburn ahead and a missed field goal wiped away the Crimson Tide’s playoff hopes. Alabama’s last chance to get the ball back evaporated when the Tide was called for having 12 men on the field on a fourth-and-four for Auburn with about 80 seconds left.
