Andre Smith runs at the 2009 NFL Combine. The 335-pound offensive tackle had a standout career at Alabama and entered the 2009 NFL Draft as one of the top run-blocking tackles and a potential No. 1 pick. However, Smith showed up at the combine that year appearing rather out of shape; furthermore, he ducked out of the combine workouts early, claiming he wanted to prepare for Alabama’s Pro Day. He was eventually drafted sixth overall by the Bengals, who put a clause in his contract mandating that he stay below 350 pounds. Smith became a free agent after the 2012 season, and he has yet to land a new contract. (Bob Rosato/SI)

Alabama may have delivered a win — and a drive — for the ages. Down 17-14 with fewer than two minutes remaining, ‘Bama gained possession on its own 28-yard line following a missed Drew Alleman field goal. AJ McCarron, who appeared rattled for most of the second half, completed three consecutive passes to junior wideout Kevin Norwood. Then the Tide completed the comeback: McCarron hooked up with freshman back T.J. Yeldon (pictured), who deked a defender and raced 28 yards to the end zone. Nick Saban’s squad improved to 9-0, while LSU’s Zach Mettenberger silenced many critics in defeat. He completed 24-of-35 passes for 298 yards and a touchdown. (AP)
