Honestly I think Malzahn "secret" to beating Alabama was the luxury of playing them last game of the season. Injuries, fatigue, some players hitting a wall and simply not playing as well. Most of Sabans losses have come late in the year.

This coupled with the fact of how the two teams approach the game. Saban understands it is a rival, but they approach it as the next game, next one up on our way to the play offs.

Auburn views this game as their play-off, their whole world, everything they hope for. Case in point when AU beat us a few years ago and we still won the Natty.
