Alabama 24 - 14 Clemson (1:53 left in 3d Quarter)

Alabama's offense has been so moribund for the last few hours that one can understand how Clemson was lulled into complacency.  But this time -- facing 2d and 10 from its own 32 -- the Tide did not throw another five-yard pass.  Instead, they faked the short pass -- and then had Hurts hurl a bomb to O.J. Howard (of Autaga Academy in Prattville, Ala.)  Howard had gotten behind the entire Clemson defense, and he dashed 68 yards for a touchdown.

On the other hand, Scarbrough has been forced to leave the field with an injury.  Alabama will miss him.
