Iron Bowl Review

A brutal loss might have been the perfect compliment to Hugh Freeze’s recruiting pitch.

The Tigers lost a heartbreaker in the final seconds

The Auburn tigers put quite the product on the field against Alabama on Saturday. While it may have ended in a painful 4th and goal touchdown for the Tide, momentum in recruiting has skyrocketed. The Tigers have made significant strides in flipping the following Five Stars: Texas A&M WR, Cam Coleman, Georgia OL, Daniel Calhoun, and Alabama WR, Ryan Williams.

Offensively Auburn just didn’t make enough plays through the air to win this game. They ran the ball consistently well, but when it tightened up in the redzone and on 3rd down the offense stalled on one too many drives. While it would have been nice to have that go our way, it entices Coleman and Williams to be here to orchestrate it tomorrow.

The defense played solid overall, while a controversial call by Ron Roberts at the end of the game will taint the image of their performance. The held a talented Alabama offense to 20 points heading into the final minute and had the game won until the muffed punt.
