Bryce Young, No. 1 Alabama Survive Upset Bid by No. 11 Florida in SEC Action

Nick Saban continues to have Dan Mullen's number.

Top-ranked Alabama went on the road and earned a 31-29 victory over No. 11 Florida in The Swamp in Gainesville, Florida, on Saturday.

Dameon Pierce found a seam and hit pay dirt on a 17-yard run to bring the Gators to within two points with 3:10 on the clock. Emory Jones and Malik Davis were unable to complete the two-point conversion, which kept Alabama in the lead.

After forcing Alabama to punt, Florida had four seconds to complete a miracle. Jones was sacked on the final play.

With the win, Saban improved to 11-0 against Mullen.
