a long, long night for leonard fournette. kenyan drake. well, these are staggering numbers for leonard fournette. if there's a shock tonight, it's the fact that he's carried 15 times for 13 yards. >> gary: everyone knew that for leonard fournette to win the heisman, he would have to go through tuscaloosa. everybody knew that. now one wonders, has it slipped to the other side? it's now derrick henry in position to be the top three or four in the talk or can leonard fournette get back into it? i don't like to talk about it much but the way henry has played and the way fournette has been shutout, there's ramifications. >> verne: this one, the tackle is made on kenyan drake by thomas, number 13. and you think of the list.

he's been a prohibitive favorite since the auburn game when he began the streak of three consecutive games with 200 yards plus. and boykin loss today as well. >> gary: what we know is, the guys around him could not produce the opening. >> verne: and give credit to the run defense of the crimson tide. coker, drake. dwayne thomas, one of three. a flag down. >> gary: alabama was just trying to get in position for a field goal. they don't want to back up. that's one thing they didn't want. they threw a quick pass. really weren't trying to go down field there. they were trying to set it up

closer for a field goal attempt. what happens? they lose ten yards on a holding call. >> verne: pierce baker. sophomore. >> gary: pierce baker out of iowa. recalls sitting at home in iowa watching this game on television. that's when he decided he was going to not go to iowa, by the way. pretty good football team this year. >> verne: they are. >> gary: and come play here. >> verne: he's from cedar falls, iowa. ridley this time is in the slot. the top of the screen. o.j. howard, number 88. here's coker. got him.

ardarius stewart. >> gary: you know what stood out there? the time that coker had to wait to throw that ball. and now right back in field goal range. kenyan drake. played his part. the last one, he stayed in and helped in the pass protection. >> verne: so here's griffith with a 55-yarder at the end of the first half. this is from 30 yards out. 3 for 3. got off to a horrendous start this year. missed his first four. came in to tonight 10 of 16. surging with confidence right now, i'm sure. 30-10. a golf class.

it's the final countdown! the final countdown! if you're the band europe, you love a final countdown. it's what you do. if you want to save fifteen percent or more on car insurance, you switch to geico.

>> verne: we've witnessed an amazing defensive job by alabama holding leonard fournette to 13 yards on 15 carries. far. his counter part, derrick henry, 129 yards. three touchdowns. all on 27 carries. here's nysewander, clearing the block for henry to stroll in. moments ago, adam griffith of the night. >> gary: just to put it in per speculative speculative -- perspective, leonard fournette had 20 rushing nothing.

long gain and it seems a long time ago was four yards. he's attempting to become the second heisman winner the history of lsu football. billy cannon got the first in 1959. there's the guy who told us that he is living the dream. starting quarterback for the crimson tide. having started his career at florida state university. here's griffith. derrius guice. minkah fitzpatrick. is that dillon lee? he got up. >> gary: i'll say this. it was a five-star game. i'm not sure he which one. >> verne: that's right. don't forget, the napa play of

the game presented by napa auto parts. if that makes sense. that's coming up. >> gary: right now, less miles has to remind his team the season is not over. they still have arkansas, ole miss and texas a&m left. remember, next -- if alabama stumbles, lose as game, then also still would control their destiny. i've already said, a one-loss sec champion will be in the playoff. >> verne: left side, caught. that's deshawn smith, number 89. >> gary: tight end in the slot. it's a zone combo look. sometimes -- that looks like it's coming back too, verne. watching the replay there.

the end of the run. first down. >> gary: the players thought it was coming back. the lsu players walked back. the alabama players walked back. when they met the official said oh, no. we're tacking it on to the end of it. let's see if we can see where it happens. right in the middle. right there. yeah. good call. so now across midfield for one of the few times tonight. lsu with a first down and 10. trailing by 20. oh, that looked awful. that looked worse. >> gary: the first part of the play, brandon harris tried to get rid of it anyway he could. he had no time at all after the

two players ran into each other. jonathan allen almost got rid of it. >> verne: second down 10. wow! incomplete. >> gary: well, we haven't called reggie ragland's name in awhile but he's an elite football player. one of the best middle linebackers in all of college football. that's how you cough the ball up. gimmick play that time. cam cameron looking for some offense. takes the screen to the outside. delays the tying end.

>> verne: third down and 10. fournette. >> gary: they tried to get fournette on the linebacker before. >> verne: oh, well. oh, well. i'm flashing back. almost -- well, to 1979. so help me. roger staubach's last past for the cowboys was thrown to herb scott. >> referee: illegal touching. fourth down. >> verne: a nice catch. >> gary: sure was. might have found a new tight

end. >> verne: jamie keehn on to punt. coach, i made a heck of a catch. >> gary: he's got a laugh to it. not much you can do. he was open. >> verne: i like the athleticism. he had to reach back. a one-handed catch. smiling. i know what it's like. oh, boy. 30-10. now we have a conversation going

fourth and 8. >> gary: nick saban is confused why it's not moved back further. >> verne: that one takes an lsu hop. will be downed at the 7 yard line. 11:47 to go. this is all alabama. v this ultimate chicken sandwich

is so great. i mean, this is the chicken sandwich that all other chicken sandwiches are gonna be judged against. well, i'll actually be the judge of that, peter. so what are you, some sort of chicken judge? i find this ultimate chicken sandwich on brioche bun to be guilty -of being delicious. -great. -tj, this is ridiculous. -you're out of order! i'm outta tots. order me a drink. case dismissed. -all rise -for the honorable new ultimate chicken sandwich. and don't forget our ice cream cake shakes and cones. -(click) you know what's funny? those time saving multi-tools you see on tv that turn a five minute job into a five hour job. when it comes to your tools, choose wisely, grasshopper. case in point: ford transit. with three roof heights and three body lengths to choose from, transit has the most configurations of any full-size van. so, it's the right tool, no matter what your job is. smart. efficient. productive.

>> the home depot sec on cbs is sponsored by -- >> verne: we welcome you back to bryant-denny stadium where alabama is in control. go back to the college football playoff top ten. >> gary: look what happened here. tcu, michigan state and -- let's go halfway on that one. it's not over. but it looks like there could be a potential fire wall set for notre dame. if notre dame wins out, even an

going to have enough guts to have notre dame ranked five and leap frog a team after that? anybody have the guts for that? >> verne: i don't think either of those two ladies -- no, not at all. >> gary: okay. >> verne: first down and 10. drake. henry leading the way. >> gary: this will come as a pass. a complete. henry truck and trailer. stay behind the big truck. trail and you got it. learned that a long time ago back in high school. truck and trailer. >> verne: by the way, i bumped into your center before the game. >> gary: the last captain of an alabama team coached by bear bryant.

the last time. he was the captain of the team. >> verne: i'll be darned. >> gary: yes. >> verne: is that a fumble? could be. >> gary: i got a text and said don't mention the world turnover. you're a jinx. so now he's officially the jinx. >> verne: henry with the bobble. >> gary: it was. only the 10th turnover for lsu on the season. they got it. bower got it. did he recover it or not? number 46 bowers is the guy that got his hand on it. >> verne: i think he did. here's henry. angry with himself. reggie ragland looks into the student section.

>> gary: this is where malachi dupre has to make a play. they have not been able to run on this alabama defense. what will lsu dial up? >> verne: in this half, lsu has run for minus 1 yard. they got 37 for the game. fournette. longest run of the game by far. >> gary: out to the edge finally. as a running back, just have to say, i run my style, i trust my offensive line, even if they don't deserve it. tonight i got to keep running.

that's a gain of one. if that. reggie ragland, 10:37 to go. alabama makes four defensive substitutions. second and goal. back to the i. play clock at one. time-out. lsu has one remaining.

give your gathering something to gather around. try catering at chick-fil-a. how you doing?

hey! how are you? where are we watching the game? you'll see. this year. yeah, especially with this i mean, our running back is a beast. and breaks through the secondary, oh he's gone. and our linebackers and dbs dish out punishment, and never quit. you didn't expect this did you? the nissan altima. there's a fun side to every drive. nissan. innovation that excites. >> adam zucker in new york. utah surviving seattle. travis wilson gets in on third and goal. they win by 11 to defeat ever. navy scored the final 21 points

to give memphis its first loss. that means houston is the only undefeated. verne and gary, back to you. >> verne: adam, thank you. take a look at this defensive bunch. players. that's all the different matchups that alabama will use. eight guys go off. 11 stay on. 19 guys were ready on that play. >> verne: oh, boy. second and goal. make sure they have 11 on the field. lob pass into the end zone. flags. malachi dupre. cyrus jones defending. >> gary: wow! cyrus jones go i don't know what else i should have done. >> referee: pass interference, defense. number 5.

yard line. automatic first down. >> gary: he got into him, no doubt. hit him with his hip before the ball got there. contact below the waste is what the call was on. perfect call. >> verne: first down and goal. >> gary: by the way, lsu will use all four opportunities if they need them. >> verne: back in the i. toss. up in the air to the one. just outside the end zone. d.j.pettway with the tackle. >> gary: and think pettway and lee with the tackle.

interception in this half. second down and goal. >> gary: he had a sack, forced a play running in. >> verne: 14. that should be a touchdown. it is. >> gary: well, nothing to do here but just push it in. use all the strength you've got and get it in there. >> verne: and domingue for the extra point.

>> gary: glad i drew a half line. >> verne: it's blocked. blocked by a'shawn robinson. >> gary: what a game a'shawn robinson has had. he's made plays in the backfield. this time number 86 leaped. he weighs 325 pounds, ladies and gentlemen. he leaps the line of scrimmage like that and swats it. >> verne: that was pretty impressive. the ability to jump over. here's the derrick henry fumble. and fournette by far his longest run of the night. this was for 18 yards. and then fournette for the touchdown. it is still a two possession

tonight we come to let loose. tonight we come to dance. they try to put us in a box, they try to categorize us. saying: we gotta dress like this, we gotta talk like that... but we say no more! spirit use your wings. freedom! tonight we change things. freedom. freedom. >> verne: he runs it. >> gary: what an athletic play that was. >> verne: sims dances right. fires it. jones.

>> gary: how about this drive for blake sims? pretty good. it was. he said he watched tapes of a.j. mccarron and he was ready for it. speaking of ready for it, alabama, onside kick. they're playing their normal kickoff return unit here. would les try something this early? >> verne: still 9:18 to go. no. out again? it stayed? >> gary: took a bounce the other way. how about that? >> kenyan drake pinned inside the 10. >> gary: a late flag came in, i believe. yes, we got a flag marker there. that ball, drake thought it was going out-of-bounds and took a bounce for lsu.

illegal block in the back. number 34. half the distance to the goal. first down. >> gary: couldn't be any better. lsu could be any better. he kicked it deep. alabama had given up on it. kenyan drake wisely says it's still in play. gets it out to the 8. les is going yes! things? the difference of the ball going out-of-bounds. 2 1/2 feet maybe? >> verne: exactly. jamal adams, helmet on. here's coker. this is the worst starting field position for the night. >> gary: he got dinged on play. >> verne: looked that way.

>> gary: big-time pressure for alabama. maybe the first time in the game. >> verne: henry. out to the 9. >> gary: we've lauded this offensive line. we said coming into the game that they were -- what a lot of people considered the one weakness in this alabama football team. but they have been stellar. can they push it out, get a couple first downs and shift the pressure away from the drive? right now this whole crowd is almost silent. they can feel it. >> verne: second down, 5. henry. this will be third and 1 or 2 needed.

kendall beckwith made the tackle for lsu. third down and 1. >> gary: remember les said spirit. it's going to come time when you have to reach deep down and fight. >> verne: and so third down and 1 with less than eight minutes remaining. play action. coker. lobs it. i think he got it. o.j. howard, what do you think? >> gary: yeah, he got the spot. right to the line. it will be a first down. another one of those bootlegs. lane kiffin's m.o. he loves that. almost part of a running -- he's got three different attacks.

passing game and the bootleg game. kiffin uses it between the two to keep them honest and move the chain. >> verne: on first down, stewart near side. split out. ridley the top of the screen with mullaney. henry. that was ever so close. tre'davious white. let's do back to adam zucker. >> we had the crucial third and 9 for ohio state. they have seen their lead disappear. cardale jones goes 28 yards to make it 28-14. that is a fresh final. the buckeyes avoid an upset. >> verne: adam, thank you. a 14-point game here. 30-16. leonard fournette string of nine

consecutive games with 100 yards plus rushing in jeopardy right now. henry. bounces it. might be a little short, i believe. >> gary: stopped inside very well by that lsu defensive line. forces henry to bounce outside. he almost stretches it for a first down. not quite. >> verne: brandon greene and michael nysewander. >> gary: do you almost bring in a goalline-type defense look here? can you really let alabama make another first down? you only have one time-out left.

5:34 remaining. >> gary: the right side to the left. taylor, number 50. they just ran behind the big guy. >> verne: the clock starts. coker back on. 5:17 to go. >> gary: the ball should never be snapped with more than five for alabama. never be snapped if it's higher than a five. >> verne: henry. >> gary: coming back though. >> verne: flag. >> gary: big play there. >> referee: holding, offense. 71. ten-yard penalty. replay first down. >> verne: another flag on pearce

baker. >> gary: it was basically the same play that henry scored on earlier. but speaking of earlier, this has been the travails of leonard fournette trying to get to the second level of this alabama defense. and derrick henry. remember the 40-yard gain to start in the first half? the beautiful touchdown. that was the play right there that alabama just ran for the holding. it was pierce baker that got the holding call. >> verne: ridley. >> gary: right now jake coker, lane kiffin and nick saban have to remind their back that ball security is more important than the yards right now.

>> verne: second down and 16.
