Check here for the ESPN College GameDay coverage for the Alabama and Auburn game.
Alabama comes in having put that score up in their win last week and now they will play against the Tigers to keep their undefeated season alive and they have gone 3-0 already against top 25 teams and now they can make it 1-0 against schools in the top five with a win on Saturday. AJ McCarron is having a very solid season with 2,399 passing yards and over 20 touchdowns again and a matchup with Florida State is looming if the team can win this game and then the SEC Championship. TJ Yeldon has been great stepping up for Eddie Lacy with over 1,000 yards this season and Bama is averaging well over 400 total yards per game this season. The offense has been putting up 40 points per game, while the defense has been stellar, ranking first in the nation in scoring with under 10 points allowed per game.
Alabama's biggest scare this season came against Texas A&M in the second game of the year and the Crimson Tide got past Johnny Manziel by five points, but other than that no game has been close. The matchup against LSU was a tough test, but Bama was able to get past the Tigers and now they have another team of the same name on Saturday afternoon. Alabama had a decent SEC schedule this season and they defeated Mississippi State on the road as well as the Aggies and now they have to do it again with Auburn on Saturday.
A nice game from McCarron could put him right at the top of the Heisman race with what's going on with Jameis Winston and the Tigers come in with some momentum after getting a miracle play at the end of the Georgia game. The team is 10-1 coming into the game and a win would put them into the SEC championship game and they come into the season 3-1 on the year against the top 25 and now they must try to add another win to that. The Tigers rank second in the nation in rushing yards per game and that will have to be the focus for Alabama and they also will have to hold down a team that scores nearly 40 points per game and rushes for over 300 yards on the ground. Alabama visits Auburn on Saturday afternoon and ESPN College GameDay starts at 9 AM from Auburn.
