One of college football's greatest rivalries was renewed once again Saturday in Tuscaloosa when the Alabama Crimson Tide and Auburn Tigers met for the latest chapter of their storied history inside Saban Field at Bryant-Denny Stadium.

Here are three takeaways from Auburn’s Iron Bowl loss. Auburn found offensive success early and often against Alabama. In the first half alone, it had drives of 52, 56 and 72 yards, but only got points on one of those drives and it came in the way of a 37-yard field goal.
