Sunday Hangover: Auburn

What a frustrating yet ultimately rewarding Iron Bowl. 

Alabama played like crap on the offensive side of the ball for over three and a half quarters until they finally woke up and got their collective shit together for a 98-yard scoring drive. 

It was a finally satisfying Iron Bowl win at Auburn. The four overtimes made Auburn fans believe, but the pass to Metchie finally broke Auburn hearts. 

I love it when the Tide breaks Auburn hearts. 

Two freshmen stepped up their games in this win. Ja'Cory Brooks caught the long touchdown pass from Young. And in the fourth OT, Kool-Aid McKinstry batted down the Finley's pass in the end zone. 

Auburn's DC Derek Mason had an effective game plan that I'm sure UGA will try to duplicate and improve upon. Regardless, I was surprised that George was left out there that long at RT. Owens did a much better job once they put him in at RT about two quarters too late. 

Alabama has to be a heavy underdog in the SEC Championship, which is a position they aren't used to being in.
