No. 10 LSU answers again, walks off No. 6 Alabama, 32-31, in Overtime. JeritRoser recaps last night's thriller HERE:
LSU had already battled through and bounced back from every big Alabama play and controversial officiating call for four quarters Saturday.
"Before the game started, if you asked me, 'Hey, I'm gonna give you one play, and if you're successful on that one play, you're gonna beat Alabama,' I would've taken that 100 times out of 100," first-year coach Brian Kelly said."So, at that moment, it kind of hit me that way, and I knew we had a really good play that we hadn't used and they hadn't seen.
Former Heisman winner Bryce Young completed 25 of his 51 passes for 328 yards and a go-ahead Alabama touchdown late in the fourth quarter that threatened to write a familiarly frustrating conclusion for LSU fans. The Crimson Tide maneuvered its way to a 46-yard field goal by Will Reichard to knot the game back at 24-24 in the final minute of regulation, then ahead on a 2-yard run by Roydell Williams in the extra period."I knew that there were good days ahead for this group ," Kelly said."And that's kind of why I went for it. I'm willing to do anything for this group, because I think that they have shown that they'll make it happen some way, and the did again tonight.
"It is a tough environment, a tough place to play, and we've got to give credit to LSU for making the plays that they made when they needed to make them," Alabama coach Nick Saban said."We hurt ourselves quite a bit, especially early on. We had a great drive until the pick inside the 10-yard line. We had to settle for a lot of field goals and had way too many penalties."
Freshman kicker Damian Ramos pulled LSU back ahead, 17-15, with a 32-yard field goal with 6:52 remaining to set up dueling Young and Daniels strikes down the stretch.
