10. 2008: Rashad Johnson’s Overtime interception against LSU
We have to go a little further back for number ten. Rashad Johnson had a huge game against the Tigers in 2008. After LSU started with a 14-7 lead in the first quarter, Johnson capitalized on a Jarrett Lee miscue for a pick-six to take the Tide into halftime tied. The game went back and forth in the second half eventually going into overtime after the Tigers blocked a last second Tide field goal.
The Tigers received the ball first, but their overtime hopes ended early with another Rashad Johnson interception. When the Tide took over for their possession, the Tide marched down the field before John Parker Wilson took the ball in for a one-yard touchdown run to seal the game for the Tide.
