Alabama 24 - 21 Clemson (9 minutes left in the 4th Quarter)

Alabama goes three and out -- that's the tenth time in a row that Alabama has failed to convert a third down.  The Tide punt down to the 22, and Watson has another chance:

1/10 Clem 22:  Watson runs for 3 yards
2/7 Clem 25:  Watson pass incomplete (he was almost sacked)
Clemson calls time with 8:28 left in the game.
3/7 Clem 25:  Watson pass to Refrow for 7 yards
1/10 Clem 32:  Watson pass to Williams incomplete (Clemson wanted pass interference)
2/10 Clem 32:  Watson deep pass incomplete (He was almost sacked but Ryan Anderson went for the ball, and Watson escaped and threw the ball away)
3/10 Clem 32:  Watson pass to Leggett dropped -- that would have been a first down at the 50.
4/10 Clem 32:  Clemson punts to the Alabama 29.

Alabama takes over with 7:36 left.  That's two extraordinary stands by the Alabama defense.  But unless their offense does something, they'll have to stop Clemson at least twice more.
