This is four plays after the long pass to Norwood, same drive. Still first quarter, score 14-0.

Here's the video link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=Zx0TMuJuLxQ#t=1792s
Go to 29:55 if the link doesn't take you there directly.

After a couple of Yeldon rushes, the ball is on the ND 33. It's 3rd & 6.

presnap read:

* Motta is out of the picture to the left
* Nix has subbed out (not sure this made any difference)

* McCarron in shotgun

* Norwood motions across formation to wing

* Russell looks back at Motta as Norwood comes over, and makes some kind of gesture

* At the snap, Norwood will run a short out while Cooper goes on a deep corner.

* Russell takes Norwood

* Motta (I guess) is supposed to take Cooper, but gets over way too late.

* There is some pressure but McCarron doesn't hold it for long.

* easy pitch and catch for McCarron/Cooper, setting up the 3rd Alabama touchdown.
