Tackle made by geno smith. Gary youve got to score one before you have the opportunity to score two. Take your time. Make first downs. Know what you are doing. Verne Robert Johnson in motion. Now lewis. They give it to robinson. He looks for the first down. He pushes and does not get it. Gary big stop. Short of the first down means times goes off for Mississippi State or Mississippi State has to use another time out. Another half a yard here and the clock stops. Verne modest numbers for robinson today. 12 carries, 37 yards. Third and one. Verne out of the backfield. Robinson. Hes got the first. Hes got plenty, and he moves across midfield. The clock now stops while they reset the chain. Gary thats been about the biggest play for Josh Robinson all night. Hes had the one run but otherwise its been the dropoff play that has been his most effective weapon from out of the backfield. Verne clock starts. Two minutes to go. Right side. He needed to get out of bounds. Trey depriest makes the tackle. 1 45 to go. Second and nine. Prescott. Pressured. Across, incomplete, intended for robinson. Landon collins was defending.

Verne third and nine. Gary dropping in zone again. Verne prescott gets loose. Down the sidelines. Did he get close . Gary i think he made a first down. Verne yes, indeed. Gary a 10yard scramble out of the pocket. The one thing alabama said in the fourman rush we dont have to sack him all night. We cant let him get outside of our ends. Verne on first down. Prescott across the middle. Caught. Jameon lewis. To the 21. Clock will stop as they move the chain. Gary this time dak said i dont care how tall you are. You better jump for this one because im not throwing this one low. Great catch. Verne 1 13 to go. Across the middle. Its caught again. Jameon lewis again. 62 seconds to go. Gary you have to wonder when dan mullen is going to start using his time outs now. Verne here is prescott. 16 yard line. Gary youve got to take a time out here. They dont have time, do they, to line up . Its almost kick the onside kick or you have no chance. Verne yes, hes got two time outs remaining. 37 seconds remaining. Prescott into the end zone. Incomplete. Robert johnson. Right at the goal line. Gary could have completed that ball. Would have taken a perfect throw. Threw it a little high. It wobbled on him. He did not throw a good spiral and the ball got away from him. Verne second and goal. Prescott will run. Gary got to take the time out now. You have no choice. Cant save them now. Verne and he does. 25 seconds remaining. Its 2513. Verne 2513, Mississippi State. Undefeated season on the line. They trail alabama. They have one time out left. Third and goal. Gary see, Mississippi State changed their players so the officials correctly allowed alabama to substitute. Verne option. Prescott pitches. 20 seconds to go. Theyve got one time out left. They use it. Gary i dont know what to sayment i would be throwing the ball in the end zone. Verne yeah. Gary dan knows his offense better than i do but i dont understand those last couple plays and i dont quite get why he saved his time outs because now theyre in a horrible position even if they score. Theyll be forced to throw a hail mary if they get the onside kick. Verne the top ranked Mississippi State bulldogs are just seconds away from dropping their first of the year. Oregon opened this weekend. T. C. U. Defeated kansas 3430. Theyre number four. Alabama with a victory would gary yeah, theyre in they control their own destiny. If they win out.

Touchdown. Jameon lewis. Gary they doublelayered alabama that time. They bring a player, hook him here and bring one behind him. A standard pass from trips. You get alabama to set on the goal line, they do it all the time and you complete the pass behind him. Usually you do it with a taller guy. Good play by dak and lewis. Verne the extra point from sobiesk. So with 15 seconds remaining. Lewis from prescott. Verne 2520 after the Mississippi State score.

Closed captioning provided by cbs Sports Division gary alabama would like it photogo to the bottom. They put their best ball handler to the bottom of the field. Amari cooper is right there. Verne yeah. Gary theyre going to go away from him. Verne up in the air. Deandrew white. Exposes himself to a heck of a hit. There is a flag down. Verne this is taking a long time. Gary you almost wonder, was alabama offsides . Did they break the plane early . Referee kicking team blocked before the ball had gone 10 yards. Fiveyard penalty will be tacked on before alabama recovered. First down. Gary doesnt mean anything. Take a knee time. Mississippi state hung tight enough, i think, to still be alive in the playoffs, but you cant block until the ball goes 10 yards and we showed cooper was on the bottom, white was on the top. The two best ball handlers are the guys trying to make the play. Everybody else out there is blocking. Two heavyweights. Verne the last time Mississippi State lost, it was to this alabama team. It was a year ago this weekend. Take a knee, crimson tide. Blake sims leads the crimson tide to the win. Nick saban cannot repress a smile. Verne tough night for dak prescott. He winds up throwing for 290 but he had three interceptions and he rushed for 75. Lets go down to Allie Laforce with nick saban. Allie coach, what a two weeks this team has had. You win in overtime against l. S. U. Then you come home and beat the Number One Team in the country. How is this team always able to rise to the occasion and get the win . Im proud of the way our guys competed in this game today. We made plays when we had to. Its a great victory for our team, its a great victory for our fans and great for the state of alabama. Were pleased and happy. Mississippi state has a great team and you know when you play the Number One Team in the country you know they know how to win. I expected them to come back in the second half but our guys made the plays when they needed to. Allie we talk so much about blake sims and what a better quarterback he is at home but it was the defense that came up with three big interceptions. How proud are you of the defense . The turnovers were huge in the game. Blake made twothirddown conversions in what amounted to be the winning drive in the game that were huge. He makes plays when he has to, too. Allie blake, come on in. Congratulations on an exciting win. You make the big plays when you need to and you play awesome at home. Is that what is it like and what does it feel like to beat the Number One Team in the country on your home field . Im happy for this team and being at home, i wouldnt rather do it anywhere else but here, the fans stuck in it with us for 60 minutes and the defense stops the Number One Team in the nation, we have threeandouts four times. Im happy for the team. Happy for the o line and the special teamers. They played their hearts out and were happy for the win. Allie youre playing the game for your daughter kaila. You wanted to tell her your daddy went on the biggest stage and beat the best team in the country. Ill ask her how i looked. Try to grade me and see what she says to me. Im going to celebrate with her and stay with her tonight. Allie i hope she gives you that aplus. Thanks. Allie thanks, blake. Verne how nice. Gary he bailed them out. Nick saban was exactly right. Remember the thirddown play and that drive, three of them. He dropped it off to yeldon, then two on scrambles. More in that drive than they had the full game prior. Nick nailed it. Verne amazingly enough that leads us to the napa plays of the game. You do that well. Presented by napa auto parts. Blake sims. Third down and 10. Back, nobody open, he tucks it, he does this so well. And you see the yellow line. Thats a first down. And then he did it one more time. Third and eight. He goes to the right. Watch the yellow line. Just does get the first down. Then t. J. Yeldon seven yards away. A little step to the right, into the end zone. That turned out to be the winning touchdown. That was a 76yard drive in 15 plays. Gary what did we say . Everything goes through alabama in this conference. Thats still the main story of the they either win it or the team that wins it beats them. Tonight, they didnt beat them. Verne 2520. Keep in mind, the resilience of Mississippi State. They were down 190 in the first half. But they came back, and they will be a factor before its all over. For Gary Danielson and Allie Laforce, im Verne Lundquist saying so long from tuscaloosa. Our final score 2520, crimson tide.

Tonight cbs is filled with mystery and drama beginning with a new edition of 48 hours followed by criminal minds and a new 48 hours tonight only cbs. In the game you just saw, alabama beats Mississippi State 2520 and with that we look at the s. E. C. West standings. Alabama on top at 61. Four teams still in the hunt for a spot in atlanta. I am joined by Spencer Tillman and brian jones. Lets discuss the fallout from this one. First of all, alabama. We assume theyre going to go into the top four. How high do they go . Spencer they made a Heisman Trophy candidate and his team look bad. Its worthy of moving up to the number two spot, b. J. , in my opinion, you cant put them ahead of Florida State, theyre undefeated but i think theyre worthy of jumping over. Brian im putting alabama at number one. Alabama is playing at a different level than ever other team, you have five or six oneloss teams, Mississippi State just joined that club, Florida State has not been the dominant Florida State we have seen in the past and usually i am not going to put a oneloss team ahead of a undefeated team. This is the alabama of old. This is a dominant football team. Mississippi state still in there close but i like alabama as the Number One Team in the nation. Spencer you are willing to extrapolate that if they played again, that was the reasoning i was using earlier today. Brian i dont remember that. Spencer you dont remember that . Brian [laughing] adam the committee had no trouble bouncing, but where does Mississippi State fit in in the oneloss universe . Spencer i think Mississippi State will fall out of the top four, they may be in the four spot but ohio state is making a significant push to belong there. This was a loss. That last score to me was inconsequential. Brian 2520 is going to look good in the stat book but i i think Mississippi State falls to number three, i think theyre still in this, i think those oneloss teams are comparable, ohio state, arizona state, well see what they do later tonight, t. C. U. Didnt play great but they put a w on the board, baylor comparable, i think of those oneloss teams i would take Mississippi State. Spencer i think t. C. U. Gets kicked out and that moves ohio state and everybody up a spot. Adam baylor. Spencer baylor as well. Brian in this era where you have to have style points, everyone is kicking t. C. U. Out because they go on the road and dont play with the same fervora played last week, but i dont subscribe to it. Adam how does the committee judge this with ohio states early loss against Virginia Tech. Spencer Virginia Tech, that loss to maple leafs a bad loss, Virginia Tech was not a very good team. Ohio state has since rectified what their problems were and theyre playing strong, the one loss that alabama had to ole miss, for example, that was a quality loss in my opinion. Thats the reason why i think alabama deserves to be in the number two spot. Brian where do you rank Mississippi States loss . I thought this was a quality loss if there is such a thing, you still lost but you werent blown out of the arena gary spencer they affected the quarterback in a significant way. Brian thats why alabama is number one if they can make the Number One Team in the nation look like that. Adam well be back with much more here. Tell you about the big day elsewhere.

Losing streak. We mentioned it was close for t. C. U. They went to kansas. They got the win, b. J. Brian they did. Adam scored 17 straight to hold on. Well see what the committee thinks of it all. J.
