Joel Klatt gives score prediction for Alabama vs Auburn in Iron Bowl

Alabama is set to face Auburn in the Iron Bowl at Jordan-Hare Stadium on Saturday. The Crimson Tide, with a 9-2 overall record and 6-1 in the SEC, are ranked No. 10 in both the US LBM Coaches Poll and the College Football Playoff rankings. A victory over the 5-6 Auburn Tigers will secure Alabama's spot in the SEC Championship Game. Joel Klatt, a Fox Sports analyst, views this matchup as favorable for Alabama, citing Auburn's weak passing defense as a key factor. He predicts Alabama will win by a score of 32-21, with Ty Simpson expected to perform strongly in the passing game. Auburn has named Ashton Daniels as their starting quarterback, despite freshman Deuce Knight's impressive performance against Mercer. The game will be broadcast on ABC at 6:30 p.m. CT, with Chris Fowler, Kirk Herbstreit, and Holly Rowe providing coverage.
