through the week. And then

Tuscaloosa, AL (SportsNetwork.com) - Blake Sims and Amari Cooper led Alabama to a win in the highest-scoring Iron Bowl ever, giving the Crimson Tide a new memory in their fierce rivalry with Auburn. The Kick Six was so last year. Cooper had 13 catches for an Iron Bowl-record 224 yards and scored on three of Sims four touchdown passes as second-ranked Alabama rallied for a 55-44 win over No. 15 Auburn on Saturday night. Sims overcame three interceptions to pass for 312 yards in the thrill-a-minute game, which came almost a year to the day after Chris Davis 109-yard touchdown return off a missed field goal gave Auburn an instant-classic win over then-No. 1 Alabama to ruin the Crimson Tides national title hopes. This year, Alabama (11-1, 7-1 SEC) clinched the Western Division title and a spot in the conference championship game before it even took the field after Mississippi State lost to Ole Miss earlier Saturday. The Crimson Tide, who are likely to retain their No. 1 spot in the College Football Playoff rankings, will face Eastern Division winner Missouri next Saturday in Atlanta. Sammie Coates had four catches for a career-high 153 yards in the first half and the Tigers (8-4, 4-4) scored 17 points off three Sims interceptions to hold a 33-21 lead four minutes into the second half. But Alabama outscored them 34-11 the rest of the way with Cooper catching touchdown passes of 39 and 75 yards in the third quarter and Sims scrambling for the go-ahead touchdown early in the fourth. Alabama snapped a six-game losing streak to ranked Auburn teams, winning such a matchup for the first time since 2001. Coates finished with five catches for 206 yards and two touchdowns and Nick Marshall passed for 456 yards and three touchdowns, with the third one going to Quan Bray. Marshalls 255 yards passing and two touchdown throws in the first half had Alabama on its heels, but his third-quarter interception led to the Crimson Tides go-ahead touchdown. Alabama has won seven games in a row since losing to Ole Miss on Oct. 4. But it took Nick Sabans players more than a half to really get going in this one. We havent played a lot of games where we give up 44 points and win. Thats not our style. We obviously have to do a better job, said Saban, whose team was out-gained 383 yards to 178 in the first half. Sometimes you can misplace your emotions in a rivalry game, Saban said. Our team was as fired up as weve been but I think it was misplaced emotion. ... You have to be confident thats the way to win a game. We had a lot of emotions but we werent channeling them in the right way. We did a better job of that in the second half. While the first half belonged to Coates and Auburn, the game belonged to the Heisman Trophy hopeful Cooper and Alabama. Auburns Daniel Carlson kicked his fifth field goal of the game with 3:30 remaining in the third quarter. But Alabama struck on the next play from scrimmage when Cooper blew past Jonathon Mincy on the right side for his 75-yard touchdown catch to get the Crimson Tide within 36-34. Cooper had seven catches for 164 yards in the second half. Safety Nick Perry intercepted Marshalls overthrown pass five plays into the ensuing drive and Alabama took the lead for the first time since the second quarter when Sims scored on an 11-yard run two plays into the fourth quarter. Sims two-point conversion pass to DeAndrew White in the front of the end zone gave the Crimson Tide a 42-36 lead. They pushed it to 12 points on Whites 6- yard touchdown catch with 8:05 remaining and a good two-point try. Derrick Henry added a 25-yard touchdown run for Alabama and Corey Grant scored Auburns last points on a 5-yard run. Earlier, three explosive catches by Coates in the first half helped Auburn take its 26-21 lead at the break. His second touchdown, on a 68-yard bomb from Marshall, after Alabama gambled on fourth down at the 1-yard line and scored a touchdown to take the lead. Now up 23-21, Auburn intercepted Sims for the second time with 37 seconds left in the half. Johnathan Fords pick led to a 40-yard pass play to Coates from Marshall, who lined up wide and got the ball on a pitch. It set up Carlsons season-high fourth field goal, a 20-yarder. Jonathan Jones intercepted Sims two plays into the third quarter and Auburn pushed its lead to 33-21 on Marshalls 5-yard touchdown pass to Bray. Alabama then pulled within 33-27 when Sims hit a wide-open Cooper down the middle for a 39-yard touchdown, but the point-after kick was blocked. Three hundred and sixty-four days after the Kick Six, Alabama began the 79th Iron Bowl with a botched opening kickoff when Adam Griffith booted the ball 21 yards and out of bounds. But Roc Thomas dropped what was ruled to be a lateral pass on Auburns first play and Alabama recovered the fumble, leading to T.J. Yeldons 8-yard score 2:13 into the game. Alabama also scored on Sims 17-yard pass to Cooper in the first quarter and stopped Auburn three times inside the 10-yard line in the first 19 minutes of the game, leading to three Carlson field goals. I think the name of the game was we got into the red zone and kicked field goals, said Auburn coach Gus Malzahn. We didnt score touchdowns. Sims completed his first five passes, but the sixth was intercepted by Jermaine Whitehead, setting up Marshalls 34-yard touchdown pass to Coates to give Auburn a 16-14 lead with 10:16 left in the first half. Later, Alabamas gamble on fourth down paid off when Yeldon scored his second touchdown through the right side of the line to make it 21-16. Game Notes Auburns Dhaquille Williams had a team-high seven catches for 121 yards ... Yeldon rushed for 127 yards on 19 carries ... Alabamas last win over a ranked Auburn team was a 31-7 victory over the No. 17 Tigers on Nov. 17, 2001 ... Punter JK Scott took over kickoff duties for Alabama after Griffiths mistake ... Following the Kick Six last year, Auburn beat Missouri in the SEC title game but lost to Florida State in the final BCS National Championship Game, the first time in five years that the winner of the Iron Bowl didnt also win the national title.

"I looked like Forrest Gump," he joked.PHILADELPHIA - Philadelphia Eagles centre Jason Kelce made it through his third straight day of practice Thursday, making it more likely he will return from a sports hernia injury in this weekends game against the Houston Texans.The centre has been out since having surgery at the end of September. He was cautious Thursday when asked about the possibility of playing.Im not ready to say anything definite yet, Kelce said. Im feeling better, Ill say that. I think were at the point where its not going to get worse by playing.A sports hernia is different than many other football-related injuries, with some unknowns when trying to recover, Kelce said.Theres a pain Im not really used to, Kelce said. Its the type of injury that no matter how hard you work it in the weight room and the training room and everything, theres just certain things in football that put abnormal stresses on your body and are going to tweak it a little bit.Kelce started all 16 games as a rookie in 2011 and all 16 games last year. He missed 14 games in 2012 with a torn ligament in one of his knees. He was a starter this year before hurting himself in the third game against the Washington Redskins.Hes missed the past four games and the Eagles are 2-2 without him.David Molk, an undrafted free agent signed by San Diego in 2012 and who sat out all of 2013, has filled in for Kelce at centre.It takes a little bit of time to work back in there, Eagles offensive co-ordinator Pat Shurmur said of Kelce coming back. Youre certainly working on the things you need to do individually and thenn getting back working in a group.dddddddddddd But theyre pros, theyre veterans, they understand how to deal with injuries and coming back from injuries. So it could be a shorter period of time than it could be for some.The original estimate for Kelces return was the Carolina Panthers game on Nov. 10. If he does make it back this Sunday, he would be a week ahead of schedule.I cant say Im going to be out there and be 100 per cent healthy and not have any issues on Sunday, Kelce said. Because there could be a drastic instance where Im completely off balance and I try to catch myself. Its probably going to be an ongoing thing.Eagles coach Chip Kelly said he will wait until the week ends before making his decision on Kelce.Hes looked good the last couple of days, Kelly said. Well see as we get extended through the week. And then well make a decision on Saturday with him.NOTES: The Eagles had their full squad at Thursdays practice with the exception of safety Nate Allen (hamstring).
