Welcome to Neville Arena, where Auburn (17-7, 7-4 SEC) is hosting No. 3 Alabama (21-3, 11-0 SEC) on a rainy Saturday afternoon on the Plains.

Alabama is used to thriving in hostile environments this season. They’re 7-1 on the road this season, including 5-0 against SEC foes (beat Mississippi State, Arkansas, Vanderbilt, Missouri, and LSU).
