Alabama may not be pretty, but they do not need beauty when Ryan Mallett is willing to give them easy points. First a field goal brought the Tide back to 20-17, and then Mallett’s personal howitzer of an arm fired a shell directly into his own lines: an Interception, a few pounding runs, and then Mark Ingram plunging in from the one completed Alabama’s climb into a 24-20 lead from their third quarter hole at 20-7.
