Auburn takeaways from the season finale vs. Alabama.
Even in a year of wholescale changes in college football where conferences flip and some rivalries die, the Iron Bowl remains the biggest game of the year in the state of Alabama.Auburn found offensive success early and often against Alabama.
Auburn was consistently successful in between the 20-yard lines, but its inability to convert those drives into points put the Tigers in a hole early in the game. Even when the Tigers had one last shot to stay in the game, it followed up a Jalen Milroe fumble with an interception thrown by Jarquez Hunter on a double pass.Despite having some issues with turnovers, Milroe consistently showed an ability to hurt the Auburn defense, especially with his legs.
Josh Cuevas, Robbie Ouzts and CJ Dippre combined for five catches and 63 yards in the first half, out-catching Alabama’s wide receivers. Alabama put together two easy touchdown drives to start the second half, with Auburn putting together a hapless three-and-out between those two scores. A 14-6 halftime deficit quickly turned to a 28-6 deficit early in the third quarter, Auburn’s largest of the season.
