LSU Coach Brian Kelly Discusses Decision to Go for Two to Beat Alabama

No. 10 LSU knocked off No. 6 Alabama by a final score of 32–31 in overtime in a game that likely ended the Crimson Tide’s College Football Playoff hopes.

After Alabama drove down the field to kick a field goal late in regulation to send the game to overtime tied at 24, the Crimson Tide took possession first in overtime.

Running back Roydell Williams scored on a one-yard touchdown run to give Alabama the lead, and kicker Will Reichard kicked an extra point to make it 31–24.

And that’s when all sense of normalcy ended in the extra frame.
