HOOVER, Ala. -- Auburn quarterback Bo Nix not only backed up the strong words of a teammate directed toward Alabama on Thursday, he doubled down, telling reporters at SEC Media Days that they don't fear their in-state rivals.
Tony Fair, a graduate transfer from UAB, tweeted last week, "We comin to take the head off the elephant" referring to Alabama's mascot.
"I think that actually I like the quote," Nix said when asked about the tweet. "I think it's important because we're not scared of Alabama. I know that a lot of people want us to be scared, but we're really not.
