Alabama 24 - 21 Clemson (6:33 left in 4th Quarter)

With Scarbrough still hurt, Alabama's offense is completely stalled.  They quickly do a three-yard running play and two incomplete passes, before punting to the Clemson 12.

And this time Clemson is ready:

1/10 Clem 12:  Watson screen to Gallman for 9 yards

2/1 Clem 21:  Watson runs for 5 yards

1/10 Clem 26:  Watson pass to Leggett for 16 yards

1/10 Clem 42:  Watson pass to Williams for 27 yards

Alabama called for unsportsmanlike conduct -- 15 yard penalty

1/10 Ala 16:  Watson runs for 15 yards

1/G Ala 1:  Gallman runs for 1 yard.  TOUCHDOWN.

That's the story of these national title games.  Whether it's Jameis Watson for FSU, or Vince Young for Texas, or DeShaun Watson tonight -- if you're the top quarterback of the year, no college defense will stop you in the fourth quarter.

Last year, Alabama beat Clemson by outscoring them -- the Tide never did figure out how to stop Watson.  But this Alabama team hasn't shown that same offensive firepower.  If the Tide want to save their season, they better come up with something soon.
