Carnell “Cadillac” Williams has been the Iron Bowl hero for Auburn before.
Now, the former All-America tailback is trying to do it again. Not by piling up rushing yards like he did 19 years ago against Alabama, but by making the right calls from the sidelines and saying the right things in the locker room.
People are also reading… What was shaping up as a disastrous season has at least had an infusion of positives. Williams, who ran for 204 yards in the 2003 Iron Bowl, has been a unifying force off the field with an unpretentious, folksy manner — he stepped to the podium with an “Oh, Lordy, Lordy. Wow” after the Western Kentucky win.
Williams is clearly the rookie in a matchup against Saban, a seven-time national champion coach who tried to recruit him to LSU. Former Auburn quarterback Jason Campbell knew Williams"was taking on a situation that was pretty rough.” Campbell noted that he benched starters for the Mississippi State game because they showed up late to meetings and also cracked down on class attendance and punctuality.
Campbell, who works on Auburn’s radio broadcasts and with the NIL collective, helped lead the Tigers alongside Williams to an unbeaten record and No. 2 final ranking in 2004.
