Week 7 SEC football roundup: Alabama survives another scare

TUSCALOOSA, Ala. — Alabama was pushed to the brink of a second straight Southeastern Conference upset loss.

This time the Crimson Tide survived, if only barely.

No. 7 Alabama (5-1, 2-1 SEC) botched the recovery of an onside kick to give South Carolina one last chance, but Domani Jackson intercepted LaNorris Sellers as time expired and the Tide escaped with a 27-25 win.

It was Alabama's third straight game that went down to the very end, having beaten then-No. 2 Georgia 41-34 a week before losing 40-35 to Vanderbilt.

“Another game down to the wire,” Alabama coach Kalen DeBoer said.
