It looked like it would be another low-scoring affair in the Alabama-LSU series, which turned into a classic finish at Tiger Stadium on Saturday.

Alabama also went for two 2-point conversion attempts, which both failed and sent the game to overtime.
But the story of the night belongs to Arizona State transfer Jaden Daniels, who not only completed 22 of 32 passes for 182 yards and two scores, but also added 18 for 95 yards and one more touchdown.
