Thankfully, the game was at least quick. It needed to be for this to be somewhat stomach-able. Alabama did what it wanted from the start in the 85th Iron Bowl and beat Auburn 42-13 in Tuscaloosa today, improving to 8-0 on the season, and dropping the Tigers to 5-3 overall.
Mac Jones threw five touchdown passes, with Devonta Smith catching two of those scores along with 171 yards. On the flipside, Bo Nix had a rough day with constant pressure in his face, throwing for two picks and leading only one touchdown drive. The Auburn defense gave up a few big plays, and with injuries on the offensive line and at tailback, the Tigers were at a disadvantage all afternoon.
