The Alabama Crimson Tide take on rival Auburn in the Iron Bowl on Saturday afternoon, and it’ll be difficult for the Tigers to take down the No. 1 team in the country.

However, if any team can hand Alabama its first loss, it’s the Tigers, who actually won the Iron Bowl last season.

On Saturday morning’s SportsCenter, SEC Network analyst Tim Tebow said the fact that Auburn doesn’t get intimidated by Alabama is a big plus for them:

“I’ll tell you one thing Auburn has going for them,” Tebow said. “When teams usually play Alabama, the game is over before it ever started. For Auburn, that’s different. They’re not intimidated. They’ve been overmatched before. The problem is they don’t have an offense that can score points. They’re going to have to manufacture some points. If this Auburn defense steps up, the offense has to give them a chance.”

Of course, Alabama has more talent on the field this year, and Auburn’s offense has struggled at times, so it’ll take a big effort from QB Jarrett Stidham and company to pull off the upset.

Tune in to CBS at 3:30 p.m. Eastern time to see if the Tigers can do the unthinkable and beat Bama for a second year in a row.
