Report Card: Grading Alabama’s 49-27 win over the Auburn Tigers

Grading Alabama’s 49-27 win over Auburn in the Iron Bowl.

The Alabama Crimson Tide coasted past the Auburn Tigers on Saturday in the 87th edition of the rivalry matchup known as the Iron Bowl.

Even Crimson Tide head coach [autotag]Nick Saban[/autotag] suffered a battle wound during the contest which he cleverly remarked in the postgame “you should see the other guy”. 

[autotag]Bryce Young[/autotag] played fantastic in what was most likely his final performance inside Bryant-Denny Stadium, throwing for nearly 350 yards and three touchdowns. Young would also add another 48 yards rushing and an additional touchdown on the ground.

Defensively Alabama had a tough time stopping the run throughout the contest, especially from Tiger quarterback Robby Ashford who rushed for 121 yards and two touchdowns.

Let’s look at how the Crimson Tide graded out in its final regular season performance of the 2022 season.
