AUBURN, Ala. — It’s rare that a game lives up to its billing, especially when it’s hyped up like the 2013 “Mother of All Iron Bowls” was. But Saturday’s game was all that and more.

Auburn won out. With the score tied at 28, Crimson Tide running back T.J. Yeldon appeared to run out of ...

Auburn defensive back Chris Davis ruined Alabama's reign as No. 1 in the nation with a game-winning field-goal return for a touchdown on the last play of the Iron Bowl. Ironically, Davis tweeted last December that he wanted to be on the return team this season. Looks like his request was warranted.
