Auburn’s season ended today in Tuscaloosa, with the Tigers falling 49-27 to Alabama in the 87th Iron Bowl.
The Tigers fought hard against a team playing only for pride, and despite getting down by four touchdowns early in the second half, they put together a bit of a comeback and made Alabama sweat. Robby Ashford scored two touchdowns, threw for another, and led a Tiger rushing attack that eclipsed 300 yards yet again. Meanwhile, Bryce Young threw for 343 yards and 3 scores as Alabama racked up more than 500 yards of total offense.
GAME RECAP
Auburn started the game a little off-kilter, with a false start penalty derailing the opening drive and resulting in a three-and-out.
