No. 2 Alabama trying for another Iron Bowl win

No. 2 Alabama trying for another Iron Bowl win
JOHN ZENOR, Nov 26, 2009
Andrew McCain grew up pulling for Auburn, just like the rest of his family.

In this photo taken on Nov. 21, 2009, Alabama running back Mark Ingram (22) goes for a 40-yard touchdown run in the first quarter of an NCAA college football game against Chattanooga at Bryant-Denny Stadium in Tuscaloosa, Ala. Ben Tate of Auburn is not about to concede the "best back in the state" label to Mark Ingram, the Heisman Trophy candidate from No. 2 Alabama. The two tailbacks have both been awfully good, and the heart of their offenses going into the Iron Bowl.
