The 2004 Iron Bowl was the coronation of one of the greatest teams in Auburn history. Hosting Alabama at Bryant-Denny Stadium, the unbeaten Tigers faced a determined rival looking to play spoiler. In a gritty second half, Auburn pulled away for a 21-13 victory, securing a perfect 12-0 regular season and the SEC West championship. For a half, Alabama looked poised to ruin the dream, leading 6-0 at halftime behind a stifling defense. However, in the second half, Auburn's offense woke up. Quarterback Jason Campbell connected on key throws, while running backs Carnell "Cadillac" Williams and Ronnie Brown began to wear down the Tide front. Auburn scored 21 unanswered points to take control. The victory completed Auburn's perfect regular season, leaving them as the controversial unbeaten team left out of the BCS National Championship game.
