Alabama tops Penn State in Sugar Bowl for title claim
Alabama, ranked No. 2, defeats No. 1 Penn State 14-7 in the Sugar Bowl, with four and a half sacks and interceptions sealing the victory. Bear Bryant’s Tide appear poised to win the national championship, while Penn State laments a late 12th-man penalty and a 19-game winning streak loss. Oklahoma follows with a Rematch Bowl win over Nebraska, hoping for a poll rise but unlikely to supplant Alabama or USC.
