After six consecutive losses to the Auburn Tigers, and having never won an Iron Bowl on the home field at Tuscaloosa, the Alabama Crimson Tide overwhelmingly defeated Auburn 36-0 at Bryant-Denny Stadium. It was the largest margin of victory in an Iron Bowl since 1962.
“The 2008 Iron Bowl was a clinic on smash mouth football and dominating defense, and for all that the game meant for Alabama football, I felt inspired to capture the victory on canvas.” - Rick Rush
Beyond the game itself, beyond capping off an undefeated regular season, the Iron Bowl indicated a changing of the guard in the state of Alabama, and a preview of things to come for the Southeastern Conference and the Nation as a whole. As the cover of Sports Illustrated read after Week One, ALABAMA SENDS AN EARLY WARNING – the Alabama Crimson Tide was making a Return To Power. .
