Longhorns nearly upend No. 1 Crimson Tide in front of record crowd at Royal-Memorial...
Teammates celebrate with Alabama’s Will Reichard after his game-winning field goal Saturday. The Tide only needed 89 seconds after Texas took a 19-17 lead to drive 61 yards for the kick.AUSTIN - The talent gap between the nation’s No. 1-ranked team and Texas was supposedly vast enough to make “Alabama -21.5” an acceptable spread for Saturday’s 11 a.m. kickoff at Royal-Memorial Stadium.
Redshirt freshman quarterback Quinn Ewers looked ready to duel Young, the reigning Heisman Trophy winner, all afternoon. At that point, it looked like this battle between former five-star quarterbacks would live up to the hype. Still, Card did lead two drives resulting in short field goals to give Texas a 16-10 lead with 12:55 to go.
After falling behind by six, Alabama went 75 yards in 11 plays to regain the lead. After eluding some pressure, Young connected with tailback Jahmyr Gibbs for the 7-yard touchdown to take a 17-16 lead.
