Morning Six Pack: November 24, 2012

Iron Bowl Saturday. Enjoy these six college football stories about the country’s most heated rivalry.

Tide unsung hero ready for his final Iron Bowl

Four years ago, Nico Johnson sat in the stands at Alabama’s 36-0 Iron Bowl win, eager to put on a crimson jersey. A five-star prospect out of Andalusia High, he took his official visit to Alabama that weekend, even though he already had committed to the Crimson Tide almost three months earlier.

An Iron Bowl win wouldn't change the disappointment of Auburn's season, Jake Holland says

An Iron Bowl upset could springboard Auburn into next season, but Holland says that simply winning the game doesn't make up for the Tigers' 3-8 campaign and lack of bowl appearance this season.

Quotable:

"This is a special day for the 21 seniors we have on the team coming up on Saturday," Saban said. "I think there are nine scholarship guys and 12 walk-ons. A lot of the guys that were originally in this class are no longer here, because we've had quite a few draft picks and that type of thing.

"This class has done a fantastic job of representing the University of Alabama and representing our program. They've contributed to a large degree the leadership and success that we've had in this organization, and I think it's great to recognize them in our stadium for the last home game and have the community and everybody sort of thank them for the great job they've done in representing the University of Alabama."
