Kerryon Johnson and Jarrett Stidham both ran for a touchdown in the second half. The Tigers bottled the Crimson Tide offense up, holding Alabama (11-and-1) scoreless for 28 minutes of the 30 second half minutes.

Auburn (10-and-2) sophomore quarterback Jarrett Stidham threw for 238 yards on 21-for-28 passing. The Tigers’ workhorse on the ground, Kerryon Johnson, rushed for 104 yards and a touchdown on 30 carries. Ryan Davis hauled in 11 catches for 139 yards.

The win snaps Auburn’s three-game losing streak to Alabama, with the last win coming on the infamous “Kick-six” game in 2013.
