When's the last time Auburn football won the Iron Bowl? Series history
Auburn football is searching for its first Iron Bowl win in several years against Alabama this weekend. Here's a deeper look at the series history.
In his first game as interim head coach, Auburn looked lively compared to the previous week, despite losing in overtime to Vanderbilt. After the game, junior defensive end and captain Keldric Faulk gave Durkin the ultimate compliment when asking what his new coach brought to the team.
With Hugh Freeze no longer at Auburn, Saturday's Iron Bowl unlocks a unique piece of history in the coaching matchups in the rivalry series:
Auburn will be out to make history in the SEC's greatest rivalry on Saturday when the Tigers host No. 10 Alabama in a seismic showdown with far-reaching implications. Never in the Iron Bowl's expansive history has a top-10 Alabama team traveled to face an unranked Auburn team inside Jordan-Hare Stadium and lost.
From offensive scheme changes to quarterback controversies, the Tigers' "what if" season ended with a heartbreaking Iron Bowl loss despite Bo Jackson's Heisman campaign.
