BREAKING: Alabama football‘s Jalen Milroe drops savage response to Auburn trash talk
Alabama football is gearing up for its rivalry clash with Auburn, a matchup poised to be as intense as ever. The buildup has already started with heated exchanges between the two storied programs early in the week.
Auburn freshman linebacker Demarcus Riddick fired the opening shots, confidently predicting he wouldn’t lose to Alabama during his time at Auburn and downplaying the significance of facing Crimson Tide freshman receiver Ryan Williams.
In response, Alabama quarterback Jalen Milroe didn’t hold back. When asked about Riddick’s remarks, Milroe quipped, “I don’t even know who that is,” according to Matt Stahl of AL.com.
Despite Auburn entering as the clear underdog and looking to gain any edge before kickoff, Alabama remains focused on the game itself.
Expect a tough atmosphere for Alabama and Auburn
Alabama is looking to bounce back after a challenging loss to Oklahoma, where the Tide delivered what many consider their sloppiest performance of the season.
Meanwhile, Auburn is riding high following a thrilling four-overtime victory against Texas A&M, providing them with a surge of momentum heading into this rivalry matchup.
Kickoff is set for 2:30 p.m. CT on Saturday in Tuscaloosa. The Iron Bowl will be aired on ABC.
