Alabama wins West with rout

Co-Founder Shannon Thompson

After yesterday being a huge upset for many, Enterprise #1 Alabama Fan Shannon Thompson wanted us to make sure we let the truth be known even for those who didn't see the game. 
Alabama left no doubt Saturday that it's tops in the state. Proving it's the best team in the SEC and, perhaps, the nation won't be as easy.
AJ McCarron threw four touchdowns and Eddie Lacy rushed for two to lead No. 2 Alabama to a 49-0 victory against Auburn and a berth in the SEC title game Saturday.
With the most lopsided Iron Bowl since their 55-0 win in 1948, the Crimson Tide clinched the West Division and faces No. 3 Georgia in Atlanta for the conference championship. (It will be Alabama's eighth SEC title game but first against a team other than Florida.) The winner likely goes to the national title game.
"In all those games that I've been a part of, they are about as good as any game in the country other than the national championship game," Alabama coach Nick Saban said of the SEC title game.
Auburn completed the worst season for any team within two years of winning an Associated Press national title in what might have been the last game for coach Gene Chizik. School president Jay Gogue has said only he'll evaluate the program at season's end. That end came in a painful way.
Alabama outgained the Tigers 483-163; had 25 first downs to Auburn's seven; produced touchdowns on its first seven possessions; converted its first 11 third downs and allowed Auburn to cross midfield once.
"Obviously, that was a very disappointing loss, embarrassing loss to our state rivals," Chizik said. "It was obvious to everybody. It was a sad performance.
"The Auburn fans, the Auburn alumni, don't deserve that."
Auburn hasn't scored an offensive touchdown in the past two meetings since Cam Newton & Co. completed the rivalry's largest comeback in their last visit to Bryant-Denny Stadium two years ago. This one supplied another milestone of sorts.
It's the first time Alabama has scored 40-plus points in two straight Iron Bowls on the heels of last season's 42-14 win, when Auburn managed to score on a kick return and fumble recovery.
Said Lacy: "We didn't take our foot off the gas."
