Nick Saban nicknames historic college football stadium the ‘haunted house’

Nick Saban has expressed concern over Alabama's upcoming game at Auburn's Jordan-Hare Stadium, referring to it as "haunted." Alabama, ranked No. 10 with a 9-2 record, faces Auburn, which stands at 5-6, in the Iron Bowl, a key SEC rivalry matchup. The game is critical for Alabama as a loss could jeopardize their SEC title and College Football Playoff aspirations. Saban, a College Football Hall of Famer and former Alabama coach, has often referred to Jordan-Hare Stadium's unpredictable nature, citing past dramatic games like the "Kick Six." Alabama's offense, led by Heisman hopeful Ty Simpson, will be tested against an Auburn team with nothing to lose. Despite being favored by 4.5 points, Alabama is wary of Auburn's spoiler potential in this storied rivalry. Alabama leads the all-time series 51-37-1 and has won the last five meetings.
