As a late fourth quarter Alabama field goal attempt bounced off the goal post and went wide, Alabama was looking at the possibility of having Mississippi State going on a last few minute drive and taking the game and Alabama’s undefeated season from them.
Fortunately for the Tide, the defense that proved both porous and penalty prone got two big stops and with the game on the line, Jalen Hurts and the offense all played like they had ice water in their veins and went down the field for the game winning drive.
No, they didn’t cover the 14 point spread.
