BATON ROUGE, La., Nov. 8 (UPI) -- John Parker Wilson ran for two touchdowns, including the winner in overtime, Saturday to lead top-ranked Alabama to a 27-21 win over No. 15 LSU.

Alabama had a last-second field goal blocked in regulation to set up the extra session.

LSU got the ball first and, facing a 3rd-and-6 from the Alabama 21, Tigers quarterback Jarrett Lee had his end-zone pass intercepted by Rashad Johnson.

On Alabama's first play Wilson found Julio Jones down the left sideline. Jones was dragged out of bounds at the one-yard line. Wilson then took the keeper up the middle.

Wilson threw for 215 yards on 15-of-31 passing for Alabama (10-0, 6-0 SEC) Jones caught seven passes for 128 yards, while Glen Coffee ran for 126 yards and one TD for the Crimson Tide.

Lee threw four interceptions and completed 13-of-34 passes. He threw for 181 yards and one TD for LSU (6-3, 5-3).

Charles Scott ran for 92 yards and two TDs for the Tigers.
