November 29, 2025
Ty Simpson and Isaiah Horton connected three times for touchdowns, and No. 10 Alabama escaped Auburn with a 27-20 victory in the rivalry known as the Iron Bowl on Saturday night. The Crimson Tide advanced to face fourth-ranked Georgia in the Southeastern Conference championship game next week in Atlanta. It’s a rematch from the regular season, which Alabama (10-2, 7-1) won 24-21 on the road. Ashton Daniels led Auburn (5-7, 1-7) with 259 yards passing and 108 yards rushing. Daniels had the Tigers on the move late, but star receiver Cam Coleman fumbled with 33 seconds left.
