The touchdown drive came after Clemson attempted to convert on fourth-and-1 from Alabama’s 41-yard line. The Tigers were stuffed on a failed pitch play, which gave the Tide offense a short field to work with on the drive.
Scarbrough is coming off an impressive semifinal performance in the Tide’s Peach Bowl win against Washington, rushing for 180 yards and two touchdowns. What’s even more unexpected about that performance is that before he came into that game, he was the fourth leading rusher on the team.
