Colby Wooden said it with a smile — Auburn knows it’s playing with “house money” this weekend.
“We know nobody gives us a chance in hell to win this,” Wooden said. “ … We’re going to be able to play loose, free. It’s just being able to play free. We know that our backs are against the wall, which historically tells us that’s when Auburn performs its best.”
Since 1976, Auburn has been favored in 17 of those 46 Iron Bowls, and it has won 19 times. Seven of those wins have come as the underdog, including the past four. It was almost five consecutive wins as the underdog in 2021, as Auburn led for much of regulation at Jordan-Hare Stadium, before ultimately losing in four overtimes.
“I know those guys, man. They want their legacy here at Auburn to be solidified here. What better way to go out with a bang? It’ll be wild. That would be pretty cool to get that for those seniors.”
