The 2025 Iron Bowl extended Alabama's dominance in the series to six consecutive victories with a gritty 27-20 win at Jordan-Hare Stadium. Led by junior quarterback Ty Simpson, the Crimson Tide overcame a raucous Auburn crowd and a fierce defensive effort from interim head coach DJ Durkin's Tigers. Simpson, making his first Iron Bowl start, showed remarkable poise, throwing for 245 yards and three touchdowns, all to breakout wide receiver Isaiah Horton. Auburn, playing for pride and an upset to cap a turbulent season, struck first and kept the game close throughout. Quarterback Ashton Daniels and freshman sensation Malcolm Simmons connected for big plays, but Alabama's defense stood tall in the red zone. The game's turning point came late in the fourth quarter with Alabama clinging to a 27-20 lead. Auburn drove deep into Tide territory, threatening to tie the game, but a strip-sack by Alabama's edge rusher forced a fumble with 33 seconds remaining. The recovery sealed the victory, silencing the Jordan-Hare faithful and keeping the state of Alabama crimson for another year.
