No. 2 Alabama faces Florida as SEC’s last hope for playoffs
Henry, a Heisman hopeful, ran the ball 46 times for 271 yards, including 14 consecutive carries to close out the 29-13 Iron Bowl victory.
Mayfield was knocked out of the previous game with a concussion, but he was fearless against the Cowboys, rushing for 77 yards and a touchdown.
“There are a lot of different things in my mind that we have to work on to get better and we will”, Malzahn said.
Griffith was selected for his second Special Teams Player of the Week honor this season he made all five of his field goal attempts, including three from 40 yards or more, to become the first Alabama player to make five field goals in Iron Bowl history.
He’ll leave dwelling on the past to others. Coach Nick Saban even said it reminded him of the “kick six” against his team and the tipped pass the Tigers had in their win over Georgia the week before that 2013 win over his team. “I think what the difference is two fan bases that split the stadium”.
The Heisman Trophy candidate produced his fourth 200-yard game of the season against an SEC defense.
Henry broke two school records; most single-season rushing yards and most single-season rushing touchdowns. “He wanted to go”.
“I’m just trying to help the team win, and trying to finish”, Henry said. He was victimized by a drop in the end zone, but also benefited from some sloppy Auburn tackling that allowed him to keep drives alive, particularly in the third quarter.
“Well, it’s a huge challenge, we’re playing the best team in college football”, McElwain said on an SEC Championship Game teleconference.
The Buckeyes (11-1, 7-1 Big Ten, No. 8 CFP) have won 11 of the last 12 games against MI (9-3, 6-2, No. 10 CFP).
-Deshaun Watson, Clemson, accounted for 393 yards and four TDs and the top-ranked Tigers beat rival SC 37-32 to cap their first undefeated regular season since 1981. The protection held up the second time, and it resulted in Johnson’s longest career pass, Auburn’s longest offensive play of the season and the Tigers’ only touchdown in the game.
Two SEC teams lost an opportunity to clinch bowl berths by failing to get to the six-win level. “They’ve got a lot of good players, and they’re all capable of making the play, but certainly that play reminded me of the play they made against Georgia the same year they made the kick return against us”, Saban said. Five yards. 10 yards.
Watson could realistically throw for 350 yards and four touchdowns and run for 100 yards and a touchdown against the ACC’s No. 11 defense and give the voters one lasting image if they haven’t already cast their vote.
“Both sides were pretty worn out at the very end”, said Alabama center Ryan Kelly, who went on to point out his team’s fourth-quarter training is “unmatchable”.
“Kirby does an unbelievable job studying opponents and knows exactly what to take away from them”.
“This is a good football team and I don’t see them struggling”.
GAINESVILLE, Fla. – Dalvin Cook ran for 183 yards and two touchdowns, Roberto Aguayo kicked two long field goals and Florida State upended Florida.
Auburn helped set up Griffith’s fifth field goal with two 15-yard penalties on the same play. After a review, officials flagged the hit.
“That was our plan, to stop him, and he had a day”, Auburn defensive back Blake Countess said. Auburn again drove into Alabama territory, but the Tide again forced a fourth-down field goal by Daniel Carlson.
