<h3>Alabama looks to end slide against Auburn</h3>

Alabama (6-5) at No. 25 Auburn (7-4) 8:00 pm EST


AUBURN, Alabama (Ticker) -- Nick Saban gets his first taste of the"Iron Bowl" on Saturday night when Alabama visits No. 25 Auburn.

A coaching veteran, Saban has been through many SoutheasternConference wars from his days at Louisiana State. But now heenters one of college football's fiercest rivalries wherewinning is expected.


The Alabama faithful will be hoping Saban can turn around theCrimson Tide's recent struggles in the series. Alabama has lostfive straight to Auburn but still leads the all-time series,38-32-1.


Perhaps looking ahead to this game, Alabama suffered a stunning21-14 home loss to Louisiana-Monroe last week, continuing alate-season tailspin.


Alabama (6-5, 4-3 SEC West) was in position to upset top-rankedLSU on November 3, but the Crimson Tide squandered afourth-quarter lead.


Alabama never has recovered, dropping its last three games tospoil a once promising season.


While the Crimson Tide had to play last Saturday, the Tigers(7-4, 4-3) had the week off.


After allowing just a pair of field goals in wins overMississippi and Tennessee Tech, Auburn was brought back toreality two weeks ago in a 45-20 drubbing at Georgia.
