Alabama 24 - 7 Washington (11:56 left in 4th Quarter)

OK, so here's what happened.

From its own two, Alabama tried two runs and gained one yard.

On 3d and 9 at the 3, Washington was expecting a pass.  But Alabama gave the ball to Bo Scarbrough, and he dashed 12 yards for a first down.

Then Jalen Hurts (of Channelview H.S. in Channelview, Tex.) zipped a 16-yard pass, moving the ball out to the 31.

Then Hurts rushed for 1 yard.

And then, on 2d and 9 from their own 32, the Tide gave the ball to Scarbrough again.  This time, he shook off a few would-be tacklers -- and then suddenly broke into the clear!  The Huskies scrambled desperately trying to stop him, but Scarbrough ran with the fervor of a man who finally saw open field in front of him.  When the play was over, he had gone SIXTY-EIGHT YARDS, and the Tide had its third touchdown of the game.

Here's Scarbrough's line for the day so far:  14 carries for 175 yards and 2 touchdowns.  That's pretty good.
