The Iron Bowl: A History of Alabama vs Auburn's Rivalry

The Iron Bowl is one of the most storied rivalries in college football, with the University of Alabama and Auburn University facing off in a game that's steeped in tradition and bragging rights. The two teams have been playing each other since 1893, with the winner earning the coveted Iron Bowl title. In this article, we'll delve into the history of this rivalry, exploring its roots, notable games, and what makes it so special to fans.

The first game between Alabama and Auburn was played in 1893, with Alabama emerging victorious 32-22. The two teams would go on to play each other annually, with the rivalry growing in intensity over the years. In the early years, the stakes were relatively low, but that changed in the 1920s when the University of Alabama began to dominate college football, winning two national championships in the decade. Auburn, however, refused to back down, and the rivalry continued to simmer.

Notable Games: Turning Points in the Rivalry

There have been many notable games in the history of the Iron Bowl, but a few stand out for their significance and drama. One such game was the 1957 contest, in which Alabama secured a 42-27 victory behind the touchdown-fueled gunslinging of quarterback Al Lary. "That game was a real blowout, but I remember the intensity of the crowd," Lary recalled in an interview with the Birmingham News. "The passion in that stadium was something to behold."

Here are a few more of the notables games between the two teams:

* 1948: Alabama wins 40-14, with the game featuring a backup quarterback in Farell Karas who freaked out in the first half to earn him a place in Iron Bowl lore.

* 1967: Auburn wins 29-14 in a shock upset, utilizing a feisty defense that checked pace the Crimson Tide's overall high powered offense not through the ground, but defending off the wrap passes.

* 1969: The game is tied at 3-3 at halftime, but Auburn goes on to defeat Alabama 35-10 behind a dominating defense that held the Tide to a total of 95 yards.
