AUBURN, Ala. (AP) - It looks like Nick Saban couldn't figure outhow to beat Auburn, either.
Brandon Cox scored on a 1-yard sneak with just under four
minutes left and the 25th-ranked Tigers' played stingy defense in a
17-to-10 win over Alabama tonight.
That extends Auburn's winning streak in the rivalry to a
school-record six game.
Alabama (6-6, 4-4) hired Saban to coach the Crimson Tide after
last season.
Alabama has lost its final four games and is one of 10 S-E-C
teams vying for a bowl spot.
Auburn (8-4, 5-3 Southeastern Conference) recovered an onside
kick and ran out the clock after Brad Lester gained 12 yards on
fourth-and-1 from the Crimson Tide 30.
The victory touched off a jubilant celebration, with defensive
end Quentin Groves leading the band in the school fight song and
coach Tommy Tuberville running off the field with six fingers
extended into the air.
The Tigers already had their first five-year Iron Bowl winning
streak since 1958 and kept it going with defense and a pounding
running game.
The teams combined for just 507 yards, with both relying on
defense and conservative offensive plans.

I have wondered if the security dog might have mistaken the Auburn player for Vick. Anyone know about the injury? Hope he is well.
