Tuscaloosa, AL (SportsNetwork.com) - Blake Sims and Amari Cooper led Alabama to a win in the highest-scoring Iron Bowl ever, giving the Crimson Tide a fresh memory in their fierce rivalry with Auburn. The Kick Six was so last year. Cooper had 13 catches for an Iron Bowl-record 224 yards and scored on three of Sims four touchdown passes as second-ranked Alabama rallied for a 55-44 win over No. 15 Auburn on Saturday night. Sims overcame three interceptions to pass for 312 yards in the thrill-a-minute game, which came almost a year to the day after Chris Davis 109-yard touchdown return off a missed field goal gave Auburn an instant-classic win over then-No. 1 Alabama to ruin the Crimson Tides national title hopes. This year, Alabama (11-1, 7-1 SEC) clinched the Western Division title and a spot in the conference championship game before it even took the field after Mississippi State lost to Ole Miss earlier Saturday. The Crimson Tide, who are likely to retain their No. 1 spot in the College Football Playoff rankings, will face Eastern Division winner Missouri next Saturday in Atlanta. Sammie Coates had four catches for a career-high 153 yards in the first half and the Tigers (8-4, 4-4) scored 17 points off three Sims interceptions to hold a 33-21 lead four minutes into the second half. But Alabama outscored them 34-11 the rest of the way with Cooper catching touchdown passes of 39 and 75 yards in the third quarter and Sims scrambling for the go-ahead touchdown early in the fourth. Alabama snapped a six-game losing streak to ranked Auburn teams, winning such a matchup for the first time since 2001. Coates finished with five catches for 206 yards and two touchdowns and Nick Marshall passed for 456 yards and three touchdowns, with the third one going to Quan Bray. Marshalls 255 yards passing and two touchdown throws in the first half had Alabama on its heels, but his third-quarter interception led to the Crimson Tides go-ahead touchdown. Alabama has won seven games in a row since losing to Ole Miss on Oct. 4. But it took Nick Sabans players more than a half to really get going in this one. We havent played a lot of games where we give up 44 points and win. Thats not our style. We obviously have to do a better job, said Saban, whose team was out-gained 383 yards to 178 in the first half. Sometimes you can misplace your emotions in a rivalry game, Saban said. Our team was as fired up as weve been but I think it was misplaced emotion. ... You have to be confident thats the way to win a game. We had a lot of emotions but we werent channeling them in the right way. We did a better job of that in the second half. While the first half belonged to Coates and Auburn, the game belonged to the Heisman Trophy hopeful Cooper and Alabama. Auburns Daniel Carlson kicked his fifth field goal of the game with 3:30 remaining in the third quarter. But Alabama struck on the next play from scrimmage when Cooper blew past Jonathon Mincy on the right side for his 75-yard touchdown catch to get the Crimson Tide within 36-34. Cooper had seven catches for 164 yards in the second half. Safety Nick Perry intercepted Marshalls overthrown pass five plays into the ensuing drive and Alabama took the lead for the first time since the second quarter when Sims scored on an 11-yard run two plays into the fourth quarter. Sims two-point conversion pass to DeAndrew White in the front of the end zone gave the Crimson Tide a 42-36 lead. They pushed it to 12 points on Whites 6- yard touchdown catch with 8:05 remaining and a good two-point try. Derrick Henry added a 25-yard touchdown run for Alabama and Corey Grant scored Auburns last points on a 5-yard run. Earlier, three explosive catches by Coates in the first half helped Auburn take its 26-21 lead at the break. His second touchdown, on a 68-yard bomb from Marshall, after Alabama gambled on fourth down at the 1-yard line and scored a touchdown to take the lead. Now up 23-21, Auburn intercepted Sims for the second time with 37 seconds left in the half. Johnathan Fords pick led to a 40-yard pass play to Coates from Marshall, who lined up wide and got the ball on a pitch. It set up Carlsons season-high fourth field goal, a 20-yarder. Jonathan Jones intercepted Sims two plays into the third quarter and Auburn pushed its lead to 33-21 on Marshalls 5-yard touchdown pass to Bray. Alabama then pulled within 33-27 when Sims hit a wide-open Cooper down the middle for a 39-yard touchdown, but the point-after kick was blocked. Three hundred and sixty-four days after the Kick Six, Alabama began the 79th Iron Bowl with a botched opening kickoff when Adam Griffith booted the ball 21 yards and out of bounds. But Roc Thomas dropped what was ruled to be a lateral pass on Auburns first play and Alabama recovered the fumble, leading to T.J. Yeldons 8-yard score 2:13 into the game. Alabama also scored on Sims 17-yard pass to Cooper in the first quarter and stopped Auburn three times inside the 10-yard line in the first 19 minutes of the game, leading to three Carlson field goals. I think the name of the game was we got into the red zone and kicked field goals, said Auburn coach Gus Malzahn. We didnt score touchdowns. Sims completed his first five passes, but the sixth was intercepted by Jermaine Whitehead, setting up Marshalls 34-yard touchdown pass to Coates to give Auburn a 16-14 lead with 10:16 left in the first half. Later, Alabamas gamble on fourth down paid off when Yeldon scored his second touchdown through the right side of the line to make it 21-16.

LONDON -- It was clear something was wrong with Serena Williams from the moment she began trying to warm up for her Wimbledon doubles match Tuesday. She weakly pushed volleys into the net from a couple of feet away. She whiffed on practice strokes. She even had trouble with the simple task of collecting tennis balls from the ball kids. After Williams was examined for about 10 minutes on the sideline by medical staff, including a check of her blood pressure, the match began. After three games, though, an out-of-sorts Williams and her partner, older sister Venus, stopped. The tournament referees office and WTA later said Serena, who lost in singles Saturday, had a viral illness. "I am heartbroken Im not able to continue in the tournament," Serena said in a statement. "I thought I could rally this morning because I really wanted to compete, but this bug just got the best of me." About 1 1/2 hours after leaving the court, Serena walked out of the All England Club, still wearing her white match outfit, and with a tournament towel draped around her waist. She got into a car and was driven away. "Unfortunately, Serena has been feeling unwell for the past few days and she just couldnt play to her potential today," Venus said. "Im really proud of her for trying because we just love playing doubles together." They have won 13 Grand Slam doubles titles as a pair, including five at Wimbledon. In singles, the 32-year-old Serena is ranked No. 1 and owns 17 major championships, the most among active women; five came at the All England Club. "We were all looking forward to a great match. From the bottom of my heart, I thank all of the fans for their cheers and understanding," said Serena, who was beaten in tthree sets by 25th-seeded Alize Cornet in the third round of singles.dddddddddddd "I look forward to returning to Wimbledon next year." While being looked at by a doctor before the start of the second-round doubles match against Kristina Barrois and Stefanie Voegele, Serena hunched over and covered her face with her hands. During the delay, one of the Williams other sisters, along with Serenas agent and her hitting partner, left their seats in the stands. Eventually, play began. With Serena serving in the third game, she was broken at love with four double-faults. One of the best servers in the womens game, she hit balls that bounced before reaching the net. At love-40 in that game, chair umpire Kader Nouni took the unusual step of climbing down from his perch and walking over to speak to Serena. She then served another double-fault to fall behind 3-0. Serena and Venus walked to the sideline holding hands, and Nouni announced to the crowd at No. 1 Court: "Ladies and gentlemen, unfortunately, Miss Williams has to retire." Serena wiped away tears as she walked toward the courts exit. Her career has been marked by health problems. She missed eight months after having surgery on her left knee in 2003, the year she had completed a self-styled "Serena Slam" by winning four consecutive major titles. Days after winning Wimbledon in 2010, Williams cut both feet on broken glass while leaving a restaurant, leading to two operations on her right foot. Then she got clots in her lungs and needed to inject herself with a blood thinner. Those shots led to a pool of blood gathering under her stomachs skin, requiring another hospital procedure. In all, she was off the tour for about 10 months, returning in 2011.
