Alabama’s school-record consecutive games scoring streak was extended to 210 games on Saturday with Adam Griffith’s 29-yard first quarter field goal. Alabama was last held off the scoreboard in a 9-0 loss to Auburn on Nov. 18, 2000.

Jalen Hurts became the first true freshman to start at quarterback for Alabama in the Iron Bowl on Saturday versus Auburn.

Jalen Hurts’ 37 yards rushing against Auburn gives him 840 yards on the season and extends his single-season quarterback rushing record. Hurts surpassed the old record of 791 yards, set by Steadman Shealy in 1979, against Chattanooga on Nov. 19.

With two touchdown passes and a rushing touchdown against Auburn, quarterback Jalen Hurts moved into second place on the Alabama single-season touchdown responsibility list with 33. Hurts has thrown 21 touchdown passes and rushed for 12 scores so far this season. Blake Sims (2014) holds the single-season record with 35 touchdowns (28 passing, 7 rushing).

Jalen Hurts’ 323 yards in total offense against Auburn gives him 3,294 total yards this season, moving him into second place on the Alabama single-season total offense list. Blake Sims is No. 1 with 3,837 yards in 2014.

ArDarius Stewart’s 10 receptions against Auburn give him 124 for his career, good enough for eighth place on the Alabama career receptions list.
