AUBURN, Ala. – How soon did it take before Auburn players started to turn their focus to Alabama after Saturday’s 42-14 win over Louisiana Monroe?

“Give me a few hours, and let me enjoy the rest of the day,” safety Nick Ruffin said after the game. “I’ll flip the switch [Sunday].”

It took even less time for the media to change the narrative. The major storyline following Saturday’s game wasn’t about the game itself. It was about the Iron Bowl the following week.
