Nick Saban's Iron Bowl record

Saban has an Iron Bowl record of 11-5. He soundly lost his first edition in 2007 by 17-10. That was the final win in a six-game winning streak by the Tigers. Currently, Saban and the Crimson Tide are on a three-game winning streak.

The famous Kick Six game

While Saban has a strong lead in the proceedings over Auburn, the two most famous Iron Bowls since 2007 have been Tigers victories. Initially, in 2010, the Tigers, led by Cam Newton, secured a national title game seed by defeating Alabama. Auburn won by a tight margin of 28-27. Auburn was ranked No. 2 while Alabama was No. 9

The other great game of the last 13 years was the 2013 Kick Six Iron Bowl. During the game, instead of punting the ball, Saban attempted a failed field goal attempt, which turned into a kick six with a hundred and twenty yards return for a touchdown. In the last minute, Auburn turned the game around for a 34-28 final score that cost a SEC championship spot for Alabama. Auburn was No. 4 at the time, while Alabama was No. 1
