High Tide

1992: Alabama surges past MSU

No. 2 Alabama (9-0) took a 19-game winning streak into Mississippi State, took a 20-3 lead and then blew it. Trailing 21-20 in the fourth quarter, with a chorus of cowbells clanging on a cold Saturday night, the Tide had a third-and-7 at the Bulldogs' 40. Sophomore quarterback Jay Barker completed a pinpoint pass to Prince Wimbley for 24 yards to set up the go-ahead field goal. Alabama won 30-21 and later won its sixth AP national championship. -- Maisel
