Live blog from Auburn

It's the second game of the season and we're reporting live from Jordan-Hare Stadium in Auburn, Alabama where the Bulls are set to take on the Tigers in less than 45 minutes.

The atmosphere in and around the stadium leading up to kickoff has been electric, with Tiger fans of all ages turning out in mass to support their school.

One defining characteristic of college football Saturday at Auburn is the tradional "Tiger Walk", in which Coach Tommy Tuberville and the entire Auburn football team walks down Roosevelt Ave. to the south end of Jordan-Hare Stadium. The tradition was started in 1989 when Auburn's arch-rival Alabama made the trip to Jordan-Hare for the first time. Despite the guard rails that line the path to protect the players, every fan lining the Tiger Walk path get the chance to high five their favorite players as they make their way to the stadium.

Stay tuned for more live updates from Jordan-Hare Stadium.
