TUSCALOOSA, Ala. -- Alabamas defense still seems to have a wall erected at the goal line, and Jalen Hurts remains unflappable enough to shrug off mistakes.The combination has been good enough every time so far.Hurts rebounded from two early interceptions to pass for 286 yards and the top-ranked Crimson Tides defense did the rest in a 30-12 victory Saturday over No. 16 Auburn (No. 13 AP) to finish an undefeated regular season.We have bigger goals in mind, tight end O.J. Howard said.The Tide (12-0, 8-0 SEC) led just 13-9 at halftime, dominating the stat sheet but only taking over the scoreboard in the second half. The defense pushed its string of quarters without allowing a touchdown to 14-plus and shut down the leagues top running game.Auburn (8-4, 5-3) failed to muster much offense for the second straight SEC game. This time the Tigers were playing without injured quarterback Sean White and unable to reach the end zone despite starting several drives in Alabama territory.We had some really, really challenging field position situations in this game, and our players responded really well to it, Alabama coach Nick Saban said.Hurts displayed the same poise in overcoming two first-half interceptions that has helped him lead the Tide into the SEC championship game. He completed 27-of-36 mostly short and mid-range passes and threw for two touchdowns. Alabama has won three straight Iron Bowls for the first time since 1990-92.At halftime, I guess everybody thought I was going to throw a fit, but I told them, `Look guys, all weve got to do is go out there and play with some poise and confidence, Saban said.Hurts also ran for 37 yards and a touchdown, leading two straight touchdown drives in the third quarter to all but put the game away after a mistake-filled first half.He ran for a 4-yard score on a drive sparked by four Bo Scarbrough runs. On a fourth-and-4 play, he hit ArDarius Stewart, who spun away from a defender and made another move downfield en route to a 38-yard touchdown and a 27-9 lead.Stewart gained 127 yards on 10 catches and completed a 12-yard pass. Scarbrough ran for 90 yards, including 83 after the half.Auburns Jeremy Johnson, who started the second straight game in Whites place, completed 4 of 13 passes for 34 yards. John Franklin III connected on two downfield passes in the second half that totaled 85 yards. The Tide dominated in total yards, 501-182.Daniel Carlson connected on four field goals for Auburn.Offensively, we just didnt get first downs, we just didnt get it done, Tigers coach Gus Malzahn said. Two of 12 on third downs, I really think that caused the problem. Third downs, didnt hit explosive plays, defense was on the field too long was really the story of the day.Obviously weve got players in there that are hurting, coaches that are hurting, this is a tough one.THE TAKEAWAYAuburn didnt get a first down until nearly 25 minutes into the game and continues to have no passing game without a healthy White. Leading rusher Kamryn Pettway ran 12 times for just 17 yards after missing the past two games with a leg injury. The Tigers managed 66 rushing yards after coming in averaging a league best 298.Alabama still has to get more offense in the downfield passing game but remains dominant on defense.POLL IMPLICATIONSAlabama seems unlikely to drop from No. 1 in AP poll or playoff rankings, but No. 2 Ohio State could at least close ground after a double-overtime win over No. 3 Michigan. Auburn could fall from the top 20 after a second straight punchless offensive performance in SEC games.TARGETINGDefensive back Tony Brown was ejected for targeting for a block thrown on a punt return.

With the amount of money given to players by their clubs these days, it is a wonder that so many of those teams allow the sport to continue to take away many of their assets so they can play for a different team in the middle of their season.DETROIT -- J.D. Martinez was playing reasonably shallow in right field, willing to risk a ball hit over his head.That decision paid off when Travis dArnaud poked a single right to him.Martinez threw Jay Bruce out at the plate on the final play of the game, enabling the Detroit Tigers to hold on for a pulsating 6-5 victory over the New York Mets on Saturday night. Bruce was trying to score from second on dArnauds hit, and Martinez was ready.I was kind of in a way anticipating it a little bit, Martinez said. I wasnt confident that he was really going to drive something over my head, so I kind of just shaded in a little bit more than perhaps they say you should.New York trailed 6-1 before rallying with two runs each in the fifth and seventh, and with men on first and second and two out in the ninth, dArnaud hit a single to right. Martinez charged the ball, and his one-hop throw home was in time to get Bruce.Miguel Cabrera drove in three runs for the Tigers, who have won 10 of 11 and trail AL Central-leading Cleveland by two games.Detroits Matt Boyd (3-2) allowed three runs and six hits in five innings, and New Yorks Logan Verrett (3-7) yielded six runs and seven hits in 3 2/3 innings.Martinezs throw gave Francisco Rodriguez his 32nd save in 34 chances.J.D. picked me up big time, Rodriguez said. I guess when everythings going well, you catch those types of breaks.Bruce and Curtis Granderson homered for the Mets, but New York went 2 of 12 with men in scoring position -- and one of the hits was dArnauds on the last play of the game.Its really tough to lose this one, because we had so many good at-bats in the last few innings, and we just couldnt get the one big hit, Mets manager Terry Collins said. Then, when we finally get one, J.D. Martinez makes a great throw and we dont get anything out of it.After Bruces fourth-inning homer tied the game at 1, the Tigers answered with five runs in the bottom of the inning. Jarrod Saltalamacchia hit a two-run single, and Ian Kinsler drove in another run with a single. Cabreras two-run single gave Detroit aa five-run lead.ddddddddddddIt was 6-3 in the seventh when Bruce came up with men on first and second and nobody out. Cabrera fielded his grounder and threw toward second, but the ball hit runner Neil Walker in the head and bounced toward center field. A run came home, and the Mets scored another when Wilmer Flores hit a grounder to third that Mike Aviles misplayed for an error.With men on first and second and still nobody out, dArnaud grounded into a double play, and Detroit was able to get out of the inning up 6-5.The Mets also hit into double plays in the sixth and the eighth.ROSTER MOVESThe Tigers could celebrate the win, but they announced afterward that RHP Jordan Zimmermann and 3B Nick Castellanos were headed to the DL. Castellanos left Saturdays game with a non-displaced fracture of his left hand. He was hit by a pitch during Detroits big fourth inning.Probably a minimum of four weeks, manager Brad Ausmus said. Certainly not good news for us. The important thing is for him to get healthy. Were looking really some point in early September that wed get him back.The Tigers will call up INF Casey McGehee and LHP Kyle Ryan. LHP Daniel Norris will eventually take Zimmermanns spot in the rotation.CONCESSIONThe Mets had nothing to lose by challenging the final play at the plate, but they were satisfied that Bruce was indeed out and didnt ask for a review.Our guys said he was out on the replay, so we didnt bother, Collins said. Maybe thats a play that you challenge no matter what, because the worst that can happen is you still lose the game.TRAINERS ROOMMets: RHP Zack Wheeler (Tommy John surgery) pitched an inning in his first rehab start with Class A St. Lucie.UP NEXTMets: RHP Jacob deGrom (7-5) takes the mound Sunday as New York tries to avoid a three-game sweep.Tigers: RHP Anibal Sanchez (6-11) starts for Detroit in the finale of this nine-game homestand.---Follow Noah Trister at www.Twitter.com/noahtrister ' ' '
