Alabama reclaims top spot in state with easy win over Auburn
Published in The Saudi Gazette on 01 - 12 - 2008

No. 1 in the nation, Alabama emphatically reclaimed the top spot in its state when the Crimson Tide ended a six-year losing streak to bitter rival Auburn with a 36-0 win in college football on Saturday.
Glen Coffee rushed for 144 yards and a touchdown for unbeaten Alabama in the biggest margin in the series in 46 years.
The win set the stage for Alabama to face No. 2 Florida in the Southeastern Conference final with a berth in the national title game on the line.
The loss left Auburn shut out of a bowl game for the first time in nine years and cast another shadow on the decade-long tenure of coach Tommy Tuberville. Auburn has lost six of the last seven games after starting the season ranked in the top 10.
No. 2 Florida 45, No. 23 Florida State 15: At Tallahassee, Florida, Tim Tebow threw three touchdown passes, and ran for 80 yards and another score as Florida won its eighth straight game. The Gators have won five in a row against Florida State, and this one was nearly as big a cruise as last season's 45-12 victory in Gainesville.
Florida scored on five of its first seven possessions, held the Seminoles without a touchdown for the first 2-½ quarters and again proved that the gap between the two programs is as wide as ever.
No. 3 Oklahoma 61, No. 11 Oklahoma St. 41: At Stillwater, Oklahoma, Sam Bradford threw for 370 yards and four touchdowns, and Oklahoma based its case for a BCS bump on its high-powered offense in the highest-scoring game of this century-old rivalry.
Needing to make up a minuscule eight-thousandths of a point to second-place Texas in the Bowl Championship Series standings to earn a spot in next week's Big 12 championship game, the Sooners relied on the Heisman-caliber arm of Bradford.
He completed 30 of 44 passes and also scored on a 1-yard touchdown run, leading Oklahoma to its fourth straight 60-point game. The Sooners' defense had few answers for quarterback Zac Robinson and Oklahoma State - but it was enough. Robinson threw for 254 yards and three touchdowns and ran for another score, but never could guide the Cowboys into the lead after halftime.
No. 5 USC 38, Notre Dame 3: At Los Angeles, Mark Sanchez passed for 267 yards and two touchdowns and USC's hard-hitting defense thoroughly dominated Notre Dame.
USC finished with 22 first downs and 449 yards of total offense while Notre Dame had four first downs and 91 yards.
With No. 17 Oregon State's 65-38 loss to No. 19 Oregon, USC needs only to beat crosstown rival UCLA next weekend to win its seventh straight Pac 10 title.
Elsewhere it was: No. 7 Texas Tech 35, Baylor 28; Kansas 40, No. 12 Missouri 37; No. 18 Georgia Tech 45, No. 13 Georgia 42; No. 16 Cincinnati 30, Syracuse 10; No. 19 Oregon 65, No. 17 Oregon St. 38; No. 20 Boston College 28, Maryland 21.
