HOOVER, Ala. -- Auburn senior defensive end Antonio Coleman didn't need another reminder of how thoroughly Alabama dominated Auburn last season in a 36-0 rout.

He didn't ask for one, but he got it ... religiously.

"I got one at 5:30 every morning (at conditioning runs) from a little, short, bald guy," Coleman said.

That little, short, bald guy is Kevin Yoxall, Auburn's strength coach. He wears the same sideline pass from that Alabama-Auburn game around his neck.

"Every day, he's reminding you," Coleman said.

Last season's rout was the most lopsided Iron Bowl in 46 years.
