AUBURN — There were no surprises for Auburn football on the first SEC availability report for this weekend's Iron Bowl against No. 10 Alabama. The Tigers had six players listed, all of whom were expected to be sidelined against the Crimson Tide.
Linebacker Demarcus Riddick was the most recent injury update, as interim head coach DJ Durkin said last week the sophomore underwent a season-ending surgery during Auburn's open week.
