Going into Saturday night's road game in Jordan-Hare Stadium, it was expected that the Alabama Crimson Tide had to have multiple players step up in hopes of leaving Auburn with a win, and well, that is exactly what happened.
In the game, Alabama was without notable players such as Josh Cuevas and Kevin Riley due to injury, while others in Germie Bernard and Parker Brailsford were listed as "probable" throughout the week leading up to kickoff.

Following is the latest stock report from Alabama's road win at Auburn on Saturday night, which takes a look at a trio of players who are on the rise as a result of their performance in the Iron Bowl.
Isaiah Horton, Wide Receiver, Redshirt Junior
Horton led Alabama in receiving Saturday night against Auburn, and was on the receiving end of some key moments in the game, arguably none of which was bigger than a touchdown on 4th-and-2 late in the fourth quarter. The wide receiver finished with five receptions for 35 yards and three touchdowns, emerging as Alabama's go-to option in the red zone Saturday night.

Miller enjoyed one of his top performances of the season Saturday night, one that was cut short in the second half due to an injury. The senior finished the game with a team-high 83 yards rushing on 15 attempts, which translated to an average of 5.5 yards per attempt, while also hauling in two receptions for 12 yards.
Conor Talty, Kicker, Redshirt Sophomore
For the third and final spot, there are others that could been selected here such as Bray Hubbard and Ty Simpson, but Talty's impact Saturday night also should not go unnoticed. Talty made two huge field goals from 45 and 29 yards, respectively, during the first half against Auburn, while also going a perfect 3-of-3 on extra points.
