With 3:30 left before the half, Alabama marched down the field, relying on the arm of Hurts. The Tide dominated in total yards, 501-182. Although Scarbrough ranks fourth on the team in carries this season, head coach Nick Saban showed an abundance of confidence in the sophomore. (more...)

Legacies, bragging rights on line in Iron Bowl, as usual

Alabama averages 40.3 points per game behind freshman quarterback Jalen Hurts , who has accounted for 30 touchdowns (19 passing, 11 rushing) and thrown for 2,168 yards and added 803 on the ground.

LSU pick Orgeron as head coach, Herman leaving Houston for Texas
- November 28, 2016
Orgeron, who has a home in Mandeville, said he drove really fast to get to LSU and soon after agreed on the head coaching job. Miles was head coach for 12 seasons.

After a slow start, four birdies on the back nine had the Irish challenge on track.

Chiefs welcome back Pro Bowl LB Houston
- November 28, 2016
