Herschel Walker picks Auburn to win Iron Bowl; Bo Jackson doesn't make prediction

Two of the greatest running backs in college football history were in Mobile Thursday as part of a charity event, but only one made a prediction on the upcoming Iron Bowl.

Former Georgia star Herschel Walker and Auburn legend Bo Jackson appeared at the Salvation Army of Coastal Alabama's 2017 Annual Luncheon at the Battle House, participating in a moderated Q&A on a variety of topics including their childhoods and their college and pro careers. The final question for each was to assess their alma maters' performances this season.

With perhaps Auburn's 40-17 rout of his then-top-ranked Bulldogs last Saturday fresh in his mind, Walker heaped praise on the Tigers.
