KeAndre Lambert-Smith, Zabien Brown throw football at each other during post-Iron Bowl fight
During Saturday’s Iron Bowl, tensions were running high between Alabama and Auburn. That continued postgame, as well, as KeAndre Lambert-Smith and Zabien Brown threw a football at each other in a heated exchange.
A scuffle previously broke out during the game when Lambert-Smith blocked DeVonta Smith out of bounds. The two teams had to be separated, and a penalty was called on Alabama as a result.
Afterward, the two teams continued to go back-and-forth. It was the latest tense moment in the rivalry between Alabama and Auburn.
Jalen Milroe had a huge day to lead Alabama to the victory, rushing for 104 yards and three touchdowns while adding 256 passing yards en route to the 28-14 win. It was his second time starting against Auburn, but the first since last year’s prayer on 4th-and-31 in the final seconds to give Alabama the win.

Saturday marked a new era for the Iron Bowl. Nick Saban is no longer on the Alabama sideline, meaning Kalen DeBoer got his first taste of the storied rivalry. When previewing the matchup, Saban – now on College GameDay – explained what it meant for DeBoer in his first season at Alabama. The magnitude of the game is an important part of the rivalry and what makes it so special for the people in the state.
“There’s a huge advantage for the home team in this game. We were 7-1 when we played at Alabama,” Saban said on ESPN College GameDay ahead of Week 14. “We were 5-4 when we played at Auburn, but I think Kalen DeBoer has a huge job in front of him in terms of getting his players ready to play this game. They had College Football Playoff aspirations, and now that’s maybe not the case. But this game is really important to the people in the state of Alabama.
“When you’re born in Alabama, you have a birthright. You’re either going to be for Alabama or you’re going to be for Auburn. You grow up that way with great passion, so this is a big game to a lot of people, and it’s a big game to the players.”
