Tonight at 7:45 p.m. ET on ESPN the No. 1 Alabama Crimson Tide (10-1, 6-1) will face a difficult test at home against their greatest rivals, the No. 15 Auburn Tigers (8-3, 4-3) in an SEC war that can be found online free by clicking this link. Tide fans can listen to the game on 92.9 The Game, while Auburn fans hungry to play spoiler may do likewise on 102.5 The Game.

This year's game will have a tough time re-creating the drama from last season's Iron Bowl, which was won by Auburn on a shocking 109-yard field goal return by Chris Davis that will stand as one of the greatest plays in college football history.

"It shows up on the TV every now and again, and it breaks our heart every time," Tide safety Landon Collins said. "In one second they took our whole chance away of winning anything, and definitely it rewinds in my head. Definitely it will rewind in my head constantly throughout this week."

This season both teams bring potent offenses to the game, but Alabama's defense separates them from the pack. The Crimson Tide defense surrenders a meager 14.5 points per game, but they will have their hands full with dual-threat Tigers QB Nick Marshall.

"He's an athlete," Alabama safety Nick Perry said. "He's probably going to be the most elusive guy we've faced all season. He makes a lot of great plays. You just have to contain him and don't allow him to beat us. Allow other people to beat us."

Alabama also has a quarterback in Blake Sims who has never played in the Iron Bowl, and may be star-struck. "I'm just happy to have the opportunity to play in it," Sims said. "I've been waiting five years for it. Auburn is a great team."
