AUSTIN, Texas -- Despite committing 15 penalties and a poor performance by its offensive line, No. 1 Alabama was able to avoid an upset and beat unranked Texas 20-19 on a last-minute field goal Saturday.
Alabama quarterback and reigning Heisman Trophy winner Bryce Young was constantly harassed by the Texas defense, getting sacked twice and hurried seven times, but he still managed to move the offense with his arm and his legs.
Young completed 26 of 38 passes for 210 yards and a touchdown. He ran for 38 yards on seven carries.
