The Iron Bowl

Yep, it's more than seven hours prior to kickoff at Auburn, which means it's time to get going because even though the Plains might be a nice to visit, traffic there is about the worst anywhere in sports. Actually, that's only half true, because getting out is a lot worse than getting in. Hopefully it will be a good game.

Quarterback Jeff Rutledge, here taking a snap in the Crimson Tide’s 34-16 victory against Auburn in 1978, led Alabama to 11-1 seasons in both 1977 and a 1978. Alabama finished No. 2 in 1977, but could claim a controversial national championship in 1978. Courtesy of the Paul W. Bryant Museum.
