Alabama 24 - 28 Clemson (4:38 left in the 4th Quarter)

Last year, Alabama scored on a late kickoff return.  Clemson is taking no chances this year, and is pooching every kickoff.  Alabama starts from its own 32:

1/10 Ala 32:  Hurts throws the ball out of bounds
2/10 Ala 32:  Hurts screen to Harris hit for a 6-yard loss
3/16 Ala 26:  Hurts pass to Stewart for 15 yards
4/1 Ala 41:  Harris runs for 6 yards
1/10 Ala 47:  Harris throws a pass to Stewart, who THROWS A PASS TO HOWARD for 23 yards
1/10 Clem 30:  HURTS RUNS 30 YARDS FOR A TOUCHDOWN!

Unbelievable!  The Clemson defense was scattered all over the field trying to stop the pass -- so Hurts showed some great open-field running to score a game-tying touchdown.

Huge, huge mistake by the Clemson defense.  A field goal did Alabama no good -- the Tide needed a touchdown.

But Watson still has 2:07 left.
