Iron Bowl 1957 - Limited Edition Print

Auburn 40 | Alabama 0

The Tigers were #1 in the nation and their win against the Tide only authenticated that fact.  The Tide’s Coach J.B. Whitworth agreed saying “They (Auburn) could hold their own with anybody.  They do a lot of things - And do ‘em well.”  Auburn held the Tide to a staggering 34-0 score in the first half, not allowing Alabama to score the entire game.  This marked the biggest blowout game to date between the two teams at Legion Field.  Auburn became the National Champions for the first time in its school’s history.

Tommy Lorino (#25) picks off a tip by Jackie Burkett and runs toward the end zone with the help of Billy Atkins (#39) and Lloyd Nix (#44).
