The Auburn Tigers are getting ready to host rival Alabama in the Iron Bowl, and it will be a very important game.
Alabama will be starting backup QB Mac Jones against the Tigers, so that will be an interesting battle to watch.
During a pregame radio interview, Auburn coach Gus Malzahn named a key on the other side of the ball, saying Auburn needs to run the ball in order to keep Alabama’s talented secondary at bay:
Gus Malzahn discusses Alabama on pregame radio: "Their secondary is probably the best in our league. … The key is we have to run the football effectively enough to get them down a little bit."

We’ll see if the Tigers can execute that game plan. It will be easier said than done against a tough Crimson Tide squad.
Plus, Alabama will be hungry for a win that keeps them in the College Football Playoff hunt.
