Alabama defeated Auburn 27-20 on November 29, 2025, at Jordan-Hare Stadium. It was the 90th meeting in the rivalry and another one-score finish on the Plains.
What Decided It
The game was tied 20-20 late in the fourth quarter when Alabama faced fourth-and-2 near the goal line. Ty Simpson found Isaiah Horton for the go-ahead touchdown with 3:50 remaining, giving Alabama the final margin in a one-score rivalry game.
Simpson to Horton
Simpson threw three touchdown passes, and each scoring throw went to Horton. That connection became the central offensive story of the 2025 matchup and gave Alabama enough separation to survive Auburn’s late push.
Series Context
The win extended Alabama’s Iron Bowl winning streak to six games and moved the Crimson Tide’s all-time series lead to 52-37-1.
