But the top-ranked Alabama Crimson Tide narrowly avoided an upset to unranked Texas Saturday with a last-minute field goal from Will Reichard to beat the Longhorns 20-19.

This one looked to be a high-scoring affair early, as both teams exchanged field goals and touchdowns on their first two drives of the game before both defenses buckled down.

Nine of the next 10 drives ended in punts, but the one that didn’t was costly for Texas. Kicker Bert Auburn missed a chip-shot 20-yard field goal that would have given Texas a 13-10 lead at the end of the first half.
