Cam Coleman says Iron Bowl is next stop on Auburn's 'revenge tour'
Cam Coleman met with reporters in Auburn on Monday afternoon ahead of the Tigers’ Iron Bowl matchup this weekend.
Coleman was not on the team last season when the Tigers nearly upset Alabama at Jordan-Hare, but he still spoke about wanting to avenge last season’s heart-breaking loss to the Tide for the players who endured it.
“Really, [it’s] a revenge tour,” Coleman said. “We’re going into their place … we’re just really gonna go in their crib and just take over and have fun while we’re doing it. It’s some of the last memories that we make with each other so we’re going to make it a memorable game.”
Coleman had plenty of hype in the offseason as a 5-star prospect and has largely lived up to some lofty expectations as a true freshman. He enters this weekend with 520 receiving yards so far this season, which is second on the team.
Coleman is also coming off of back-to-back 100+ yard games for the first time in his young career.
The young wideout is not the only Auburn freshman who seems comfortable speaking openly about this rivalry game. Linebacker DeMarcus Riddick also made headlines on Monday after declaring he will never lose to Alabama as long as he’s with the Tigers.
Auburn has not won in Tuscaloosa since 2010. Kickoff on Saturday is set for 3:30 p.m. ET.
They don’t need bulletin board material. I wish these freshmen wouldn’t run their mouths about a stadium they have never played in.
Nothing wrong with getting hyped up. Bama is demoralized.
Capitalize on that.
auburn is always ‘ demoralized ‘.
When the ball is snapped the first time anything anyone has said will not mean a thing. Makes for good material for sports writers either way it ends up. Oh he should not have said that or he knew what he was talking about.
Auburn is 5-6
Running your mouth does no good
As animal mother said, “You talk the talk, do you walk the walk?”
Bro, you’ve got more losses than wins. Quit running your mouth. It is evident you cannot cash most of the checks you’re writing.
Freshmen gonna fresh.
Let your game talk or at least talk after the game.
Proud of how they have been stepping up tho. They very well could compete Saturday.
