Purdum: Late Alabama TD hurts Vegas

The last minute of the Iron Bowl went down perfectly for the betting public.

Alabama had not been able to shake two-touchdown underdog Auburn all day. The plodding Crimson Tide needed Adam Griffith's fifth field goal to finally take a two-possession lead, 22-13, with 10 minutes to play, and after Auburn turned the ball over on downs with two minutes left at its own 34-yard line, any comeback hopes were ended. All that was left was for the Tide to run out the clock with a first down.

On third-and-10, with a minute left, Derrick Henry picked up nine yards.
