give it to hilliard and he is spilled. it will be third and long. >> gary: do you let jordan jefferson throw the ball from out of this position? remember last year. he and toliver. out from about this position right here. it was a first-down call. this will be a third-down call against the nickel package. >> verne: third and six at the five. >> gary: yeah, marquis maze right there had him. the gimmick play that mcelwain and saban were waiting all game for. what will les call here? >> verne: randle starts in motion. they keep it on the ground. handoff to ford, and it will be fourth down. >> gary: i think les miles said, "the way we're playing defense, let's just live for another day. punt the ball here, and take our chances on defense. we don't want to make a critical mistake on our own goal line and give this game away." i agree with him. >> verne: they're going to bring marquis maze, hobbled with that bad ankle and with the memory of an interception he just threw, now, the longest punt return allowed by l.s.u. this year is seven yards. >> gary: he got this one. look at this. >> verne: over his head. >> gary: maze's ankle hurt him on this play. you've got to catch that ball. it cost his team 30 yards. how about that punt for wing. see, his ankle couldn't move. >> verne: yeah. 72-yard punt. brad wing. is it a disappearing act ? it's the kompressor vacuum which holds 3 times more dust. one of lg's countless innovations designed to make life good. so is it a vacuum or something better ? thanks martha -- triggered my stop loss orders... saved me a pantload. [ crying ] oh great. every time i fly. my ears! swallow! [ male announcer ] upgrade to first class investing technology... at e-trade. >> verne: back in tuscaloosa. don't forget, the play of the game coming up presented by napa auto parts. that could be a "t.b.d.," to be determined right now, and the poll results. we invited you to vote on which team will go undefeated. >> gary: what am i thinking? i think it's harder on the first two. i think boise is a sure thing here. don't you? >> verne: uh-huh. >> gary: you've got to wonder. les won that match of wits with nick saban. he said, "i'll punt it and take another chance." nick put maze out there. that turned out to be a mistake. he was too injured to make that play. >> verne: fourth time tonight alabama has begun a possession inside its own 20. mccarron. handoff, richardson. >> gary: you had to figure alabama thought they would get the ball about the 50, 40 yard line. what a difference. remember, earlier in the game alabama was running left? i've got to figure that jones is playing but he's injured, because they're running right, now. he's out there hobbling. he's doing it on one leg. >> verne: d.j. fluker, number 76. michael williams were the two on the right side. there is barrett jones, and as they stretch the chain, we are told they come up just short. mccarron. turnovers now are two and two in this game. here is barrett jones. graduated with a 4.0 g.p.a. we told you his story in previous games. he's a remarkable young man and has been to haiti a couple of times and, of course, was very involved in the tornado-relief efforts here. >> gary: remember, it was his injury against auburn when he wasn't in that game, was a big part of that loss to auburn last year. very valuable football player. he's playing on one leg tonight, though. l.s.u. should play very safe here. give a first down. no big play. they are. two safeties deep. >> verne: and richardson gets it to the 30 yard line. once again, let's go back to new york and check in with tim brando. >> tim: rick neuheisel's job, many thought, was on the line. look at this. derrick coleman rushes in. 29-28 ucla. a game-winning field goal. at 5-4, they control their destiny in the pac-12 south. verne, gary, back to you. >> gary: how about rick. at his alma mater there. >> verne: yes, indeed. marquis maze in motion. back across to the right side. mccarron rolls out. finds marquis maze, and he scoots out of bounds up near the 39 yard line. >> gary: going straight ahead, it doesn't seem to be bothering him, but on that punt it was. nice call on this one. first-down play. they're mixing it up. they respect the l.s.u. defense. they're continuing to try to stay balanced. alabama, in the last three years in this game, 139 runs, 139 passes. how about that. exact balance in this series. >> verne: the receivers bunched up to the near side, deandrew white is outside. they'll give it to trent richardson. he runs into kevin minter, and richardson, now, 20 carries for 98 yards. he had a string, did trent richardson, of six 100-yard games in succession and then was held below that mark, 77 yards on the last outing, against tennessee, but very close to going over 100 again tonight. an anomaly. his low for the year was in the season opener. he was held to 37 yards on 13 carries by kent state. first down and 10. oh, they got him this time. brandon taylor. number 18. >> gary: you talk about being ready for this play. this had to be a scouting report, because taylor felt it. he got inside the crack that time and made the play. that's something that you're in film study, when you see that guy coming in motion, you say hit it full speed, and he did. >> verne: minus six, and the clock -- >> gary: any mistake now could be fatal. >> verne: at 6:30 and running. >> verne: draw. richardson. they got him again. ron brooks this time. >> gary: brooks was the star of the game when mathieu was suspended. he lines up in that spot, in their odd defense, right there, and he blitzes. that thing wasn't going anywhere anyway. no one blocked up front. offensive line, alabama are making some run plays but l.s.u., it is a physical football game here. >> verne: now it's third and 20 after the losses in the last two. darius hanks comes in motion near side. mccarron has it. blitz from the corner. it's brooks. they've got the little screen set. that's trent richardson. >> gary: how about that. pretty close. >> verne: yeah. he had a long, long way to travel. he gained 18. >> gary: they're going to let him come this time, dump it off. alabama is has always been a good screen team, but this will be too big of a gamble. you've got to punt the ball. >> verne: cody mandell will punt it. odell beckham, number 33, is back to return it. only the second punt tonight, and it comes with less than five minutes remaining. >> verne: beckham. at the nine. flag is down. and a player is down as well. that's kirkpatrick, number 21. looked like mathieu might have gotten him. >> gary: those two have been talking and competing, and beckham says, "why? why, tyrann?" trying to do too much on this play and it's going to cost poor field position again for l.s.u. right there, he got him with a forearm right across -- totally unnecessary. watch him grab -- that's just a selfish penalty right there. >> verne: kirkpatrick still down. >> referee: during the kick, holding. number seven. on the return team. that penalty will be assessed half the distance to the goal from the end of the kick. first down. l.s.u. keeps the ball. >> gary: nick saw it too as well as 100,000 other people here. >> verne: 4:33 to go. time has been called. while they tend to kirkpatrick. p is our most popular promotion at red lobster. there's so many choices... the guests love it!

>> verne: they'll throw it out, and they find chase clement. >> gary: you've got to give the other team credit. they're a good team too, even though you like to run the ball, you've got to say give them respect. let's do it nice, short routes to our big tight end and move the chain. >> verne: second catch for clement. only his fifth of the year. much more acknowledged as a blocking tight end. now they'll run it with ware. but not very far. >> gary: really nice to watch good defense. forcing it to bounce out. running it down. staying in your lanes. knowing each gap has to be played. dee milliner is the one who missed the tackle. out of the spread on second down. 3:20 to go. jefferson. hit from behind by hightower. >> gary: one of the scariest things to play man coverage against a running quarterback. if all your linebackers have turned their back to him and if he does scramble, he's got a lot of places to go. watch these guys turn their backs. they're looking up, they've got their backs to the backfield. look at that. when he starts to scramble, no one can stop him. >> verne: that was an 18-yard gain for jefferson. he's got 43 in the ballgame. beckham and randle, near side. they'll test the middle again. that's spencer ware, who has been held in check much of the night. >> gary: yeah, but that's a pretty successful run right there. tough run. that's all you're going to get. if you get four yards, that's a success on first down. here is a hurry-up. >> verne: l.s.u. has all three of its time outs left. on second down. it will be third down. that was ware again, and nick gentry, number 58. >> tracy: it was a right-shoulder injury but he's also extremely dizzy. they've taken him into the locker room and ruled him out for the rest of this game. >> verne: wow. >> gary: it looked like a right forearm. it's like something you would see in 1960 football. >> verne: third and two. >> gary: kirby smart wants the defense to check out of their play. >> verne: ware. no. is that mark barron? >> gary: i don't know who it was but they got in there fast. it was barron. >> verne: and upshaw. >> gary: and upshaw. barron, the safety. we haven't said much about him all game. he's right here. watch him hit the play. back side. makes the play. look at that play by barron. >> verne: and brad wing is on to punt. this time it will not be marquis maze. remember, with the bad ankle, he allowed the last punt to go over his head. >> gary: he's got defense space out there. looking for the fake. >> verne: christion jones. >> verne: fair catch at the 20. >> gary: whew. >> verne: very expressive of you. stay tuned for "the jeep post game show" on cbs sports. i would say something along the lines of 52 seconds from now. >> gary: i'm surprised nick didn't use a time out there to be honest. it cost them 40 seconds with 52 seconds left in the game. remember, les has all three time outs. so a three-and-out and three time outs means they'll get the ball back one more time. >> verne: mccarron. richardson. >> verne: first down and 10 at the 20. >> verne: maze. coming left. stiff-arm. double teamed and driven -- down at the 22 yard line. brandon taylor led the way. >> gary: tried to get the ball to the same outside jailbreak screen. >> verne: 25 seconds to go. >> gary: decided not to use a time out there. >> verne: yeah. >> gary: now he will use one. oh, he's going to let it go to overtime. how about that. overtime for a possible berth in the national championship. barrett jones is hurting. he's been a warrior tonight, playing in this game on one leg. >> verne: who had 6-6 as a final regulation in this one?

ok. l.s.u., visiting captain, same coin as we used at the toss. head, and eagle as the tail. what is your call? >> tails. >> referee: call is tails. it is kalz. defense. which end of the field? >> gary: alabama wants to go to the end of the field where their fan base are. where the students are. they're going to play it into their students. the noisy end of the field. >> referee: first and 10 at the 25. >> verne: 6-6 as we go to overtime. the difference in this game, take you back, cade foster missed wide right, called upon again, this time it was wide right and short. and this one was blocked and picked off by eric reid. they have made two, but what a game for eric reid, gary. >> gary: his interception is the other difference in the game. that could have been a touchdown for alabama, at least first and goal from the one yard line. as terrific, as heads-up play as i have seen in a long time. >> verne: the overtime records, l.s.u. 7-5, and alabama 4-7. >> gary: let's all recall, back to 2008, 21-21. remember, alabama intercepted jarrett lee on first down to end that game. 2008. >> verne: marquis maze leads the crimson tide offense onto the field. barrett jones, limping, will line up at left tackle. >> gary: it's the formation that l.s.u. never found richardson. remember? he's in the slot here early in the game. >> verne: now in motion. on first down, snap by mccarron underneath. incomplete. >> verne: a.j. mccarron, redshirt sophomore, won the battle, as we said, really won the job on the road at penn state in the opener against kent state not all that effective. had that fight with phillip sims for the starting spot but he played so well on the road and he's been the starter ever since. >> gary: that's going to be penalty. 12 men in the huddle. >> verne: oy. hanks was the last one off. >> gary: and remember, the field goal, as you just showed -- >> referee: substitution infraction on the offense. breaking the huddle with 12 players. five-yard penalty. second down. >> gary: hanks was not specced to be out there. when he runs off, that's a penalty. >> verne: defensive substitutions for l.s.u. they bring three new bodies on. four or five. >> gary: with brooks, remember, off the edge. they feel they can blitz from this odd front. >> verne: second down and 15. >> gary: and they do. >> verne: mccarron. deep for richardson. over his head. and incomplete. >> gary: he had him, didn't he? >> verne: yes, he did. >> gary: would have taken a great throw. match-up against baker. he's going to wheel it down the outside. not a good throw. a lot of space there. if he puts it inside the field, richardson would catch that. remember john parker wilson threw that one to julio jones down the left sideline? just as tight a coverage. >> verne: maze, top of the screen. it's third down and 15. >> gary: try to get a field goal here. >> gary: keeps it. >> verne: oh. boy. >> gary: i thought they would try to run the ball to try to get field goal position. it was a 47-yard field goal before the snap, and a 53- or 52-yard field goal after the snap. >> verne: it's 52. he's missed twice this season from 53. mccarron will hold it. cade foster attempt it. he does have one from 46 tonight. >> verne: no. and now l.s.u. gets the ball. >> gary: a sack really puts this thing out of position. there was no way. he had no confidence. he did not hit it well. that's why i thought, on third down, we would get a run. now, remember. l.s.u. loves their kicker. they're going to be conservative, aren't they? you would think. >> verne: the impact of that illegal substitution. >> gary: oh, yeah, five-yard penalty there. >> verne: from the 25. >> gary: what did nick tell us? no mental mistakes. they had a huge one right there. >> verne: jefferson sends shepard in motion. there is the first conservative call. spencer ware. and he picks up three, down to the 22 yard line. dont'a hightower. what's at stake? the lead in the s.e.c. west, and quite possibly, if you win the s.e.c. championship -- >> gary: how about this, verne. the last three losses that alabama had, last year, were all teams that threw the ball 20 times. l.s.u., tonight, has thrown the ball 17 times. that has been the formula. >> verne: second down. option. oh, he just did get rid of it. ford. down the sideline. >> gary: he stepped out. >> verne: out of bounds. out of bounds. there was no touchdown call. >> gary: they called him out on the seven yard line. >> verne: yes. here is ford. there you are. >> gary: the official looking right at it, right on the line. good call. there is the official eyeballing it. >> verne: another look at the left foot, and a really fine piece of officiating. he was out of bounds at the seven. >> gary: you have to believe, don't you, that alabama thought it was going to be another run up the middle. they went with the option. a good pitch. a good block. i thought he was going to score. >> verne: would you think about kicking it right now? >> gary: got a good kicker. i wouldn't want to fumble the ball, you win this game 9-6, you've got inside track to the national championship. >> verne: there is drew alleman. getting a full season as the placekicker after john jasper graduated, and set all kinds of l.s.u. records. meanwhile, alabama. >> gary: snapped, bobbled, and didn't even come close. >> verne: yeah. carson tinker with the bad snap, and it was way short. >> gary: alabama will rue this in overtime. remember on first down? dropped on the screen. >> verne: yeah. >> gary: second, penalty. third down, incomplete. then on second down after the penalty, incomplete, and on third down, a sack. >> gary: one more in the middle of the field and out comes the kicker. >> verne: ford is the running back. hilliard is the fullback. jefferson is the quarterback and they give it to hilliard. nothing. nothing. second down and goal. looking at the l.s.u. bench to see if there is any indication he's going to send the field goal unit on. not yet. foster missed from 52 after the low snap. >> gary: you've got a true freshman in the game right there, hilliard on that play. >> verne: yeah. yes. >> gary: how about that. >> verne: drew alleman from lafayette, louisiana. >> gary: center the ball in the middle. >> verne: here is ware. >> gary: yes. here comes the field goal team. >> verne: yeah. >> gary: the reason you kick on third down now is if you drop the snap, you've got a chance on fourth down. >> verne: senior, joey crappell is the snapper. drew alleman, number 30, and this is for the win. 25 yards for victory. >> referee: time out, alabama. that is their one and only time out of this overtime period.
