Alabama football brought home another Iron Bowl victory on Saturday, cruising to a 28-14 win over their rivals, the Auburn Tigers. Before the game, much was made of the pregame comments by Auburn linebacker Demarcus Riddick, who famously said that Tide quarterback Jalen Milroe was not faster than him.

Following the win, Alabama football Twitter decided to remind Riddick of his comments.

Jalen Milroe had another great performance, throwing for 256 passing yards, while rushing for 104 yards and three touchdowns. He certainly has left his mark in Iron Bowl history the past few years. Crimson Tide wideout Germie Bernard hauled in seven catches for 111 yards.

Auburn quarterback Payton Thorne completed 24 of 41 passes for 301 yards, while tossing in a touchdown with one interception. Tigers receiver KeAndre Lambert-Smith hauled in eight catches for 116 yards. Auburn’s freshman phenom, Cam Coleman hauled in seven catches for 78 receiving yards and a touchdown. No doubt about it, he’s got a bright future ahead of him.

Alabama had four turnovers, two fumbles and an interception by Jalen Milroe, which allowed Auburn to keep it closer.

The Tigers dropped to 5-7 overall on the 2024 campaign and their season is over. While the Crimson Tide improved to 9-3 overall and 5-3 in the SEC. Alabama was ranked No. 13 in the latest version of the CFP Rankings. We’ll have to see how the latest version of the rankings shakes out on Tuesday. Perhaps the Crimson Tide got a boost after Clemson (ranked No. 12 in CFP) and No. 6 Miami both lost on Saturday.
