#4 Cincinnati vs. #1 Alabama Full Game Highlights | 2021 NCAA Cotton Bowl

for now the national championship trophy is still the stuff of dreams but by day's end for two teams it will be clearly visible and nearly close enough to touch [Applause] you want the football which way you want to kick put your backs there alabama put your backs here alabama will receive hey let's have a great game let's go to work i think a good start is important particularly for the bearcats good kick by bales it'll be a touchpad but they got the play they give it to jameson williams on third and short tremendous speed and he had lots of running room he goes down at the 34-yard line and alabama two and a half minutes in an impressive opening drive and it's robinson for nearly 10 more first and goal from the eighth young throws has his man touchdown slade bouldin [Music] amos and williams draw two defenders to the back corner and that left slade bolden open underneath and bryce young again if you make a mistake he's going to find the opening interesting play you'll see that a lot it got flipped to michael young and he's down near the 30-yard line ritter on target and a nice run after the catch tyler scott a speedster it was jaylen armour davis who missed the tackle run fake screen and it won't go anywhere leonard taylor the tight end dumped back at the 15-yard line by daniel wright the kicker in the first six games then got injured and it would be a boost if he could deliver and he did from 33 yards stuck into the country on third downs almost 54 coastal carolina better young man wide open slade bouldin again pretty wide receivers the inside handoff and a good bounce by brian robinson first down into bearcat territory inside the 40. young doesn't run by design often flips it forward to so he definitely flipped it forward the only question was was he beyond the line of scrimmage and it looks like he's across there right here the passer was beyond the line of scrimmage when he flew the ball it went forward for the illegal forward pass the five-yard penalty includes the loss of down to go 2.3 young zings one and a diving catch outstanding catch made by jameson williams and a ball behind him defense by cincinnati and you mentioned it a great catch by williams going back to the football quick snap robinson runs over the defense and has robinson he's been a standout here in the first quarter and he has them at the 10-yard line blake down to zero no flag and beavers manages to yank down bryce young for a loss [Music] and it is desmond ritter didn't see the rush coming until it was too late to get the ball off and protect ritter and a short throw batted out of the air again and it falls incomplete knocked these great corners young over the middle it's julio billingsley looked like he just had the wind knocked out of him he's back on the field now brian robinson wow he's up to 80 yards rushing he finds some running room outside full season jamison williams against ahmad sauce gardener there's williams another poor attempt at tackling by cincinnati results in a big gain to the 29 yard line well that's three or four plays in a row i think they may bring this back and say his knee was down but regardless he's working on kobe bryant yeah he's definitely down [Applause] 44-yard try for will reichardt wide left another towering end over end kick joe joelle left the punt and the freshman tries to get back on it i think jakory brooks recovered it for alabama jojo earl dropped it tried to pick it up and dropped it again and now they're flags as they try to figure out the bottom of the pile there's gonna be a personal foul or unsportsmanlike conduct on alabama also because somebody grabbed the punter mason fletcher and threw him to the ground fletcher was near the pile somebody picked him up and threw him to the ground here mason fletcher is not going to do anything i mean of all the guys to grab he's not going to cause a a ruckus in there at all mason young again a little skittish in the pocket flips it back to brian robinson not skittish for long brian robinson across the 40 and shoved out of the 42 by arquan bush and they throw deep to a open receiver inside the 10 jakari brooks down to the pylon touchdown alabama let's make sure it was a touchdown we'll take a close look in replay it's the a t 5g pylon camera brian cook desperately trying to force him out before the end zone here late in the half tyler scott has great speed tyler scott to the 40. yesterday and then again today a very quick athlete pressure on ritter sidestep the rush of christian harris crosses midfield hung on to the ball as will anderson try to bat it out times to try that ritter runs into his own man and gets taken down by the brilliant freshman dallas turner defenders back near the 15-yard line pressure winner is sacked and the half will anderson another second and one they throw it this time out wide juggling catch made by scott but most of those rushing yards are in prior seasons a little lean physicality along the lines jerome ford powerful run he gets nine and luke fickle told us that a benefit todd of playing hall of fame in the ring of honor at nippert stadium ritter going for the end zone in complete field goal since mid-october and he's two for two today alex bales kicks off williams is going to try it he got blasted crowd up to the opening score can they get a third down stop young so cool but running out of room and is taken out of bounds by wilson huber who comes in on third downs start back game we we're operating too slowly still operating pretty slowly here and that pass is broken up at reception four-man rush young too high and is it an interception yes it is brian cook managed to catch it before it hit the turf nice little twist on the inside curtis brooks number 92 who leads his team in sacks and pressures watches him get inside right into the body of bryce young and because of that the ball sailed it went high over the intended receiver and brian cook comes down with the interception the 19th interception for this cincinnati bearcat defense only iowa and western kentucky had more was it a catch it seems like it is the bottom of your screen ritter can't even finish his drop and will anderson is there along with christian harris but not playing today four-man rush young still forced to step up over the middle on target and jameson williams has the first down a huge play for alabama young gave it to brian robinson 173 yards rushing for robinson young over the middle touchdown alabama cameron lotto [Music] here's lattu right here he's gonna delay right here he's gonna act like he's blocking and then slipped to this side of the end zone by design bryce young drifts to his right he knows he's coming back to that side of the field and law two there for the touchdown ritter's had very few opportunities to throw it down the field as he does there to michael young for the footwork he's much better pump fake to the flat a little wheel round down the sideline is that a catch no the ball's out jake tucker diving attempt with jordan battle is the guy in motion the ball's over the outside shoulder it's right there if he holds on to it it's a catch desmond ritter with branch right there to take him down didn't buy the fake at all and ritter dropped for a loss and alabama takes it back on downs and he is in the backfield to make the play i mean there's nobody for desmond ritter to throw to that was a quarterback keep with two lead blockers they had jerome ford in so many ways instinctive hard knolls can play pass and run robinson adding to his career day game record with an even 200 yards rushing parts and that one's good the cincinnati coaches earlier in the week here's ford again rips through a hole they got stood up by branch what a tackler they have held up very well litter under pressure on fourth and five throws it short at the feet of leonard taylor and another take over on downs for the crimson tide win looks like one of nick's older national championship type teams a dominant defensive performance winning catch in overtime jay sanders now to bring up fourth down and they won't have to snap it again nick saban if he hasn't cemented his legacy as the greatest college football coach of all time he has certainly taken another step in that direction first time luke fickle had ever faced him saban has now won 36 games in a row against coaches he has faced for the first time [Music] don't forget to tune in for the ram trucks post game directly following
