The 2020 Iron Bowl was a mismatch of historic proportions, serving as a revenge game for Alabama after the heartbreak of 2019. Played in front of a sparse, COVID-restricted crowd at Bryant-Denny Stadium, top-ranked Alabama didn't just beat #22 Auburn; they dismantled them 42-13. Quarterback Mac Jones delivered a flawless performance, throwing for 302 yards and tying an Iron Bowl record with five touchdown passes. His primary target, DeVonta Smith, was unstoppable. The Heisman Trophy winner-to-be caught seven passes for 171 yards and two touchdowns, including a 66-yard strike that left the Auburn secondary in the dust. Najee Harris pounded the Auburn defense for 96 yards and a touchdown. Defensively, Alabama was suffocating, holding Bo Nix and the Auburn offense to just 13 points and forcing two interceptions. Unlike the chaotic shootouts of previous years, this was a clinical, methodical dismantling by a team destined for the National Championship.
