Bo Nix’s team is in the Birmingham Bowl, but Alabama remains on his mind.
As the starting quarterback of the Auburn Tigers, Nix did not play in the Iron Bowl versus the Crimson Tide because of an ankle injury. He commented about Alabama getting all the calls from referees but watched his Tigers lose at Jordan-Hare Stadium in four overtimes.
Nix’s in-state rival is in the College Football Playoff. The Tide is the No. 1 seed, and it will play Cincinnati in the Goodyear Cotton Bowl on New Year’s Eve. Alabama thrashed Georgia in the SEC Championship Game, but Nix believes the Bearcats will take the Tide down in Texas.
