No. 2 Alabama just keeps feeding the ball to Derrick Henry (The Associated Press)

Alabama kept giving the ball to Derrick Henry - 14 times in a row to put Auburn away. There really wasn't any question even before Henry's marathon Iron Bowl performance regarding who was the main man in the second-ranked Crimson Tide's offense. The difference is then it was wide receiver Amari Cooper and the school's most prolific passing attack picking apart opposing defenses.

Alabama's Henry rushing way into school record book (The Associated Press)

Derrick Henry's career-high 271 yards rushing in a win over rival Auburn on Saturday put an exclamation point on the Alabama junior's season-long assault on the Crimson Tide record book. The dominant performance also likely vaulted the 6-foot-3, 242-pound running back to the forefront of the Heisman Trophy race heading into this week's Southeastern Conference championship game against Florida. Henry's performance against the Tigers was notable for several single-game, season and career reasons.

Athlon Sports' most interesting stats from Week 13 (Dr. Saturday)

Numbers and statistics are a huge part of  college football . Every Sunday, reading updated box scores and stats is like Christmas for fans and media members. Some stats like total offense and total defense are overrated, but each help paint a picture for a team or particular game. Whether the stats are historic, advanced or just an observation from a box score, Athlon Sports brings the most intriguing, important, historic and bizarre stats from around the weekend of college football action: 4: 200-Yard Rushing Performances by Alabama RB Derrick Henry in 2015 Alabama running back Derrick Henry added to his commanding lead in the Heisman race with a huge performance in Saturday’s 29-13 win over Auburn. A heavy workload (46 carries) was no problem for the junior, as he gashed the Tigers for 271 yards and one touchdown. Henry has rushed for at least 204 yards in each of Alabama’s last three SEC games and has four 200-yard games this year. The four 200-yard games tied Georgia’s Herschel Walker and Auburn’s Bo Jackson for the most in a season in SEC history. 4-0: Urban Meyer’s Record as Ohio State’s Head Coach Against Michigan A week after losing to Michigan State in disappointing fashion, Ohio State took some of its frustration out on rival Michigan. The Buckeyes won 42-13 over the Wolverines on Saturday, improving coach Urban Meyer’s record to 4-0 against Michigan as the team’s head coach. In addition to Meyer’s 4-0 record against the Wolverines, the 29-point margin of victory is the third-largest total for Ohio State in Ann Arbor. 12-0: Clemson and Iowa Reach 12-0 After Wins in Week 13 Clemson and Iowa are the only remaining unbeaten teams in college football going into the final week of the regular season. With a 37-32 victory over South Carolina on Saturday, the Tigers improved to 12-0 and tied the school record for most wins in a season. For the Hawkeyes, Friday’s win over Nebraska moved coach Kirk Ferentz’s team to 12-0 for the first time in school history. The 12 wins are also the most in school history for Iowa. 37: Starters Used by Notre Dame in 2015 It’s no secret Notre Dame has been hit hard by injuries this year. Starting quarterback Malik Zaire, running back Tarean Folston, cornerback KeiVarae Russell and defensive tackle Jarron Jones are just a few of the players lost due to injury for the Fighting Irish this season. According to Notre Dame’s postgame notes following Saturday night’s loss at Stanford, coach Brian Kelly’s team has used 37 different starters this season. Considering how many starters this team has used, along with the loss of several key players due to injury, Brian Kelly should be in the mix for coach of the year honors after guiding this team to a 10-2 regular season. 23: Virginia Tech’s Bowl Streak Extends to 23 After Win Over Virginia Virginia Tech’s 23-20 win over rival Virginia ensured long-time coach Frank Beamer would have one more game with the Hokies. Beamer announced his retirement in early November and entered Saturday’s game needing a win over the Cavaliers to extend a streak of 22 consecutive bowl appearances. The Hokies did just that, using a late field goal to take a 23-20 edge with less than two minutes remaining, followed by a defensive stand on Virginia’s final offensive drive to earn their sixth victory. The last time Virginia Tech did not play in a postseason game was in 1992. 4,000+/40+: WKU QB Brandon Doughty Again Throws for 4,000+ Yards and 40+ TDs WKU’s Brandon Doughty is one of the nation’s most prolific quarterbacks, and the senior made history in Friday’s win over Marshall. In addition to helping the Hilltoppers clinch the Conference USA East Division title, Doughty threw for 370 yards and five passing touchdowns. The 370 passing yards pushed Doughty to 4,184 for the season, while the five touchdown tosses elevated his season total to 42. Doughty is just the third quarterback in FBS history to post consecutive seasons of at least 4,000 passing yards and 40 passing scores. 62: Baylor’s Passing Yardage Against TCU Baylor’s late-November matchup at TCU was pegged as one of the best games of the college football season in August. However, due to injuries and losses by both teams, this matchup lost some of its appeal. And thanks to awful weather conditions, the offensive shootout most expected turned into a defensive struggle. Neither team had much success throwing the ball, as TCU ended with 148 yards on 18 completions and Baylor finished with 62 yards on seven completions. The 62 passing yards by Baylor was easily the lowest total under coach Art Briles and the fewest in a game since 2002 against New Mexico. 11-1: Florida State Coach Jimbo Fisher’s Record Against Miami and Florida Winning rivalry games is essential for the long-term outlook at a program for any coach. That’s especially true in the state of Florida with the bragging rights between the big three programs – Miami, Florida State and Florida – along with the recruiting trail battles. Since taking over Florida State in 2010, Jimbo Fisher has guided the Seminoles to an 11-1 mark against Miami and Florida. Additionally, Saturday night’s win over the Gators gave Florida State its fourth consecutive season of at least 10 wins. 7: TDs Thrown by Memphis QB Paxton Lynch in the First Half Against SMU Memphis finished a solid 9-3 season with an easy 63-0 win over SMU on Saturday. The Tigers scored 56 of those 63 points in the first half, as quarterback Paxton Lynch threw seven touchdown passes in the first two quarters. Lynch’s seven touchdown tosses tied a FBS record for the most in a half. The junior ended the day with just nine completions on 14 attempts for 222 yards and seven scores. 2: Teams That Finished 2015 Without a Win It’s going to be a long offseason at UCF and Kansas. The Knights and Jayhawks finished 2015 with a zero in the win column and an 0-12 mark overall. Both programs are in the midst of change, as David Beaty completed his first season at Kansas in 2015, and UCF is looking for a new coach after George O’Leary retired during the season.   More from Athlon Sports: 10 Coaching Candidates to Replace Scott Shafer at Syracuse The Top 25 Rivalries in College Football History 25 Must-See Moments from Week 13

Cam Newton to Pay-for-Play Alabama Heckler: 'I'll Slap the S--t out of You'

Before he was dominating the NFL with the Carolina Panthers—and setting the world ablaze with his touchdown celebrations—Cam Newton was at the center of a pay-for-play controversy.

(You can read about that here.)

That’s in the past now, and Newton was cleared. But the issue clearly still bothers him.

During an appearance at Auburn, his alma mater, for the Tigers’ game against Alabama on Saturday, a Crimson Tide heckler jabbed him over the scandal.

Newton swung around immediately after hearing the fan and told him, “I’ll slap the s--t out of you.”

No. 2 Alabama returns to scene of Auburn's Kick-Six (The Associated Press)

Thousands stormed the field at Auburn, blanketing it from goal line to goal line with a giddy mass of orange and blue. Alabama left that scene at Jordan-Hare Stadium two years ago with its shot at a third straight national championship squashed by one unforgettable Iron Bowl play: The Kick-Six. The second-ranked Crimson Tide returns to Auburn Saturday for the first time since Chris Davis ran back Adam Griffith's missed field goal 109 yards on the final play.

How Auburn Can Shock the World, Upset Alabama in 2015 Iron Bowl

In the last several years, the action at the Iron Bowl has either been unrelenting or unexpected.

The former has taken place a few times in the Nick Saban era for Alabama. The Crimson Tide won the 2008, 2011 and 2012 matchups by a combined score of 127-14. Alabama was one of the top two teams in the country on all three occasions—just like it is this weekend.

The latter, however, has taken place four times since the 2008 drubbing that ended Auburn's long winning streak in the series under Tommy Tuberville.

Two of those games, the 2010 and 2013 matchups, ended with two of the most iconic wins in Auburn history—Cam Newton's 24-point comeback and Chris Davis' 100-plus-yard field-goal return.

The 2009 and 2014 Iron Bowls featured a narrow loss for a seven-win Auburn team and a surprising 55-44 shootout defeat for an eight-win one.

On Saturday, a 6-5 Auburn team will look for another unexpected result against another Alabama team that seems destined to play in the national championship game. And it's safe to say the majority of analysts expect another unrelenting win this weekend for the dominant Crimson Tide.

As Kevin Scarbinsky of AL.com noted this week, an upset for Auburn would be the biggest one in school history. A ranked Alabama team is 23-1 all-time against an unranked Auburn team, with the 2002 Tigers knocking off the No. 9 Tide by a score of 17-7 coming as the lone loss.

What will it take for Auburn to make that record 23-2? Here are three keys to success, with some lessons from the Tigers' most recent Iron Bowl victories and near-misses.

 

Contain Alabama's Rushing Attack

Alabama will bring its Heisman Trophy-contending running back, Derrick Henry, into Jordan-Hare Stadium this weekend. The junior leads the nation in rushing touchdowns and has recorded at least 100 yards on the ground against all but one SEC opponent this season.

Six years ago, the Tide brought a running back with a similar resume to the Plains in Mark Ingram. The eventual Heisman winner didn't have as many touchdowns that season, but he was consistently great in conference games and averaged 6.49 yards per carry heading into the Iron Bowl.

But Auburn's much-maligned 2009 defense didn't let Ingram run all over the field in that Iron Bowl matchup. He finished the game with 30 yards on 16 carries, and teammate Trent Richardson only put up 51 of his own.

The next season, when Auburn defeated Alabama in comeback fashion, Ingram only had 36 yards on 10 carries, and Richardson chipped in 24.

Priority No. 1 this year for Auburn is preventing Henry from rampaging through the heart of its defense like the Alabama back has done to plenty of teams—similarly to what LSU's Leonard Fournette did to the Tigers earlier this season.

"You look on film and it’s hard for one guy to tackle him," Auburn head coach Gus Malzahn said in quotes emailed by the school. "He’s a big, strong guy and fast. He doesn’t need too much of an opening. He has a lot of explosive plays. He can finish... He’s not going down real easy when he gets to the second level."

Auburn's run defense has had much more success against the run since the ill-fated trip to Baton Rouge—thanks in part to the return of top defender Carl Lawson—but it hasn't faced a test quite like Henry since meeting Fournette.

"We're definitely a better defense now than we were at the beginning of the season," Auburn linebacker Kris Frost said, per Duane Rankin of the Montgomery Advertiser. "That doesn't take anything away from the fact that this is going to be a big challenge for us. We're going to have to throw a lot of things at (Henry)."

Auburn must prevent Henry from doing too much damage in the second level and force tougher third-down situations for the Alabama offense.

In 2013, the Tigers stopped Alabama running back T.J. Yeldon on several short-yardage plays that led to missed field goals and a crucial turnover on downs.

Stopping Henry will be a nearly impossible task, but slowing him down from his incredible pace will give Auburn a lot more chances to succeed on both sides of the ball.

 

Force Mistakes and Take Full Advantage of Them

A fumble forced from behind sparked the 2010 comeback. Those missed field goals and the turnover on downs gave Auburn a chance to pull off a legendary finish in 2013.

Last season, Auburn had several opportunities to put more points on the board against an Alabama team that threw three interceptions, gave away a couple of costly penalties and blew several coverages. But the Tigers settled for field goals too often, including a 20-yarder at the end of the first half.

As Bleacher Report's Christopher Walsh noted in his preview of the Iron Bowl, mistakes hurt Alabama in its loss to Ole Miss, and Auburn has to capitalize on any of those on Saturday:

Everyone knows that Alabama’s only loss this season came in a game it had five turnovers, but it’s had no more than two in any game since then, and just one opponent had an edge in turnover ratio, Arkansas (two to one).

Two years ago, the Tigers got the Kick-Six to win, 34-28. Four years ago, it got a fumble recovery in the end zone and Onterio McCalebb’s 83-yard kickoff return for a touchdown, but it still lost, 42-14.

Alabama has scored eight non-offensive touchdowns this season. Auburn has scored two but has a history of getting them in this game.

If Auburn's defense can get Alabama into those tougher situations on offense, the Tigers may have some shots at momentum-changing interceptions.

Alabama quarterback Jake Coker has thrown a pick in six of 11 games this season, and Auburn's shaky secondary has had 11 interceptions in the past seven games—including seven in the last four.

And when Auburn gets those opportunities, it must turn them into touchdowns on the other end of the field.

Let's just ask Twitter if kicking a lot of field goals will beat Alabama:

Auburn has a newly announced Lou Groza finalist in Daniel Carlson at kicker, but the Tigers need to use him more on extra points than field goals if they want to beat the Tide this season.

 

Throw Them Everything You've Got on Offense

His strategy and play-calling have received their fair share of criticism this season, but one can't argue that Malzahn doesn't know how to dial up a few big plays against a team like Alabama.

In 2009, his first year as an Auburn coordinator, he got a 67-yard touchdown off a reverse to receiver Terrell Zachary. The 2010 showdown featured a perfectly designed rollout toss to the late Phillip Lutzenkirchen that served as the game-winning touchdown. Nick Marshall's pop pass to Sammie Coates tied the game in 2013.

So does Malzahn have any more surprise plays up his sleeve for the Tide this season? A reporter asked him that at his weekly press conference, and he went on a surprising little rant.

"You guys are trying to give all my secrets away, you know?" Malzahn said. "What else we want to tell them? Reverses? Any reverses? Y’all want some reverses? OK, we’ll run some reverses, all right. You want some trick plays? We’ll run some trick plays. Want to know what they’re called? Just ask me."

Malzahn, who also said, "I'm not telling you" when asked if Auburn's game plan included long passes, is being extra-guarded this week as his inconsistent offense faces one of the nation's toughest defenses.

It's going to take some surprises and a total team effort to succeed. Alabama's defensive front is one of the best college football has seen in quite some time, and it shut down Fournette earlier this month.

But the run game still needs to be a key of Auburn's offense. The Tigers are run-first at their core, even when Malzahn tries to force the issue too much through the air with quarterbacks Jeremy Johnson and Sean White.

Auburn will look to spring big plays on the ground through its counters and misdirection, trying to get those tough Tide defenders out of position.

It can attack the defense in a variety of ways, from the hard running of Peyton Barber to the all-around playmaking of Jovon Robinson to the speed on the edges from Roc Thomas, Kerryon Johnson and Ricardo Louis. If Johnson gets the nod as starting quarterback, he might be used to hit Alabama on read-options.

"We're going to need them all," Auburn offensive coordinator Rhett Lashlee said, per Ryan Black of Auburn Undercover.

That will open things up for Auburn to hit an Alabama secondary that, while vastly improved in coverage from last season, has allowed some big yardage numbers in 2015.

Sustained success against this Alabama defense for one of Malzahn's least efficient offenses is far from expected, but this is the Iron Bowl—a legendary rivalry that doesn't always stick to the script.
