Brad Nessler trolls Alabama, Auburn after slow start

CBS Sports broadcaster Brad Nessler took time to troll Alabama and Auburn between quarters during Saturday’s Iron Bowl, calling out the lack of offense. During a live shot with Gary Danielson, he pulled out a blank sheet of paper which he labeled the “big play” sheet.

Nessler and Danielson then laughed about the lack of offensive production, calling for improvement over the next three quarters.

“I think the good news for Alabama is they stopped the run game of Auburn, that’ll pay off,” said Danielson. “Good news for Auburn, they got pressure on Bryce Young. Both team’s have accomplished something, just not on Ness’s notes.”

Through the first quarter, Alabama and Auburn combined for 100 yards and no points over six drives, drawing Brad Nessler’s jokes. Both teams have punted on every drive of the game so far.

Nick Saban on Jordan-Hare Stadium

Nick Saban and the Alabama Crimson Tide are preparing to face Auburn in one of the biggest rivalry matchups in all of sports.

While Saban boasts a 125-24 record since taking the reigns as the Alabama head coach, five of those losses have come to the Auburn Tigers.

There are plenty of memories Crimson Tide fans would love to forget that took place on the grounds of Jordan-Hare stadium, and earlier this week, the Alabama front man was asked about the challenges of Auburn’s home field with Iron Bowl just days away.

“They’ve got great passion and enthusiasm,” Nick Saban said. “It’s like any place you play on the road, if you don’t play well and you don’t execute, we’ve kind of been our own worst enemy when I think of the games we have played down there.”

Saban then alluded to various self-inflicted errors over the years that have plagued his squad, particularly on the road against Auburn.

“Whether we’ve turned the ball over, or pick sixes on the one-yard line, kick six, there have been a lot of things that we’ve contributed to that’s made it difficult,” Nick Saban added.

“I think the biggest thing is being positive about how you’re going to execute and stay focused, and not be distracted by the external factors or the noise surrounding the game.”
