TUSCALOOSA, Ala. -- Alabama has hired another former Southern California head coach as offensive coordinator, turning to Steve Sarkisian to once again replace Lane Kiffin.Crimson Tide coach Nick Saban announced the move Friday, with Kiffin having been hired to take over the Florida Atlantic program. Sarkisian, who succeeded Kiffin with the Trojans, will also coach the quarterbacks.Hes got a great track record and has done a really, really good job wherever hes been, Saban said. Hes got a history of developing quarterbacks as well as being a very good play caller and a well-organized, good designer of offense.Hes been here with us all fall and done a really good job. That makes the transition a lot easier.Kiffin will run the offense through the playoffs. The top-ranked Tide meets Washington Dec. 31 in the Peach Bowl semifinals game.Sarkisian, who also is a former Washington head coach, was an offensive analyst for Alabama this season.I have always admired the Alabama program from afar and getting to be part of this football team these past few months has only reinforced my belief that this is the best college football organization in the country, he said.USC fired Sarkisian in October 2015 after athletic director Pat Haden said he showed up in school in no condition to lead practice following an embarrassing public display earlier at a pep rally where he appeared to be intoxicated while giving a speech. He later sought treatment for alcoholism and sued USC alleging the school breached his contract and discriminated against him on the basis of a disability.I wouldnt have anybody in this organization I didnt have total trust, faith and confidence in that they would do a good job with our players, Saban said. This guys part of our family now. Were going to support him and help him be successful any way we can. Thats in his life as well as as a coach.Sarkisian was Washingtons head coach from 2009-13. He went 12-6 at USC and 34-29 at Washington, which had won just 12 games during the previous five seasons before his arrival.He was also offensive coordinator at USC in 2007-08.NOTE: Saban said backup defensive lineman Dakota Ball missed the first bowl practice after a hunting accident, when he shot one of his fingers. Defensive back Tony Brown missed practice with a pulled muscle. Cornerback Marlon Humphrey, who missed the SEC championship game with a leg injury, practiced.---More AP college football: www.collegefootball.ap.org Cheap College Jerseys .

COLLEGE STATION, Texas -- Trevor Knight got a tip from assistant coach Jim Turner before facing fourth down from the 1-yard line in overtime in Texas A&Ms 31-24 victory over No. 16 UCLA on Saturday.The offensive line coach noticed how UCLAs defense had approached several plays and told Knight what he should do.Coach Turner said ... youre going to have an opportunity to pull this ball and walk it into the end zone, Knight said.And thats exactly what he did.Knight threw for 239 yards and a touchdown and ran for two more scores, including that one in overtime to lead Texas A&M past UCLA in his debut with the Aggies.Texas A&M sealed the victory when Justin Evans knocked down Josh Rosens pass at the goal line on fourth down.All Im thinking is: `Man, Ive got to make a play. Ive got to make a play, Evans said. He threw it up. I went up for it and made a play.Knight, a graduate transfer from Oklahoma, outplayed Rosen.Rosen threw three interceptions while working under heavy pressure from a defense led by Myles Garrett.The Aggies looked to have this one wrapped up when they led by 15 in the fourth quarter after using two third-quarter touchdowns.But UCLAs offense finally got going after that, scoring twice in two minutes with the second one coming on a 62-yard pass by Rosen to cut it two 2. A 2-point conversion after that TD tied it with 2:39 remaining.The Bruins were driving again after a third straight punt by A&M when Evans intercepted Rosens pass for the second time to give A&M a chance to win it in regulation.But Knights pass was knocked down in the end zone to force overtime.I took too long to get going, and that cant happen, Rosen said. Its a quarterback-driven sport, and you cant have a quarterback play that bad in the first half. Its completely unacceptable.Knight wasnt the only former Sooner to shine for the Aggies on Saturday. Running back Keith Ford had a touchdown and 65 of A&Ms 203 yards rushing in his first game since setting out a yeear following his transfer from Oklahoma.dddddddddddd.NO CONVERSATIONGarrett, who led the Southeastern Conference with 12 1/2 sacks last season, had a sack, 1 1/2 tackles for losses and two quarterback hurries on Saturday. He was asked if Rosen said anything to him.We didnt have any chit chat. There was no trash talk, Garrett said. I just knew I was going to be in his face a lot.THE TAKEAWAYUCLA: Rosen will have to make better decisions and the Bruins need to shore up an offensive line that allowed five sacks on Saturday to get back on track and win the Pac-12s South division as they were predicted to do.TEXAS A&M: Coach Kevin Sumlin will certainly have plenty for Knight to work on after seeing him in game action for the first time with the Aggies. But his solid performance along with the excellent outing by the running game answered some questions about an offense that lost quarterbacks Kyle Allen and Kyler Murray to transfers and got a new offensive coordinator in Noel Mazzone this offseason.POLL IMPLICATIONSUCLA: The Bruins will likely fall a few spots in the poll because of the loss, but should remain ranked thanks to the comeback that forced overtime.Texas A&M: The Aggies were receiving the second-most votes among teams not ranked in the preseason poll, so they should enter the poll next week thanks to the win and several losses among ranked teams on opening weekend.UP NEXTUCLA: The Bruins meet UNLV for just the second time next Saturday in their home opener.TEXAS A&M: The Aggies stay home again next week when theyll face FCS opponent Prairie View, which is just 50 miles away, for the first time.LAST WORD:Proud of our guys to get the win, but the way things happened weve got a lot to work on, Sumlin said. We kind of went to sleep at the wheel there early in the fourth quarter. We cant have lapses like that.
