In a game with so little scoring and so little offense, every yard matters. So if you can trick the refs into giving you 15 yards, you got to take it.

But if you fail, you have the chance to look really embarrassed. And in a game with this much physicality, any sense of weakness can be exploited.

So Kenyan Drake, what were you thinking here?

Not sure what contact Drake felt there or whether any ref would actually buy that. But there it is for posterity an embarrassing flop from one of Alabama’s running backs.

The Crimson Tide lead the Spartans 10-0 at halftime of the Cotton Bowl.
