Perhaps Alabama took Patriots linebacker Dont'a Hightower's advice, because they kept feeding Henry, and he scored on a one-yard run to tie the game at 14.
Keep feeding em!!#NationalChampionship #rolltide — Dont'a Hightower (@zeus30hightower) January 12, 2016
Jake Coker hit O.J. Howard with a tremendous pass for a 53-yard touchdown in what was the receiver's first score of the year. It gave Alabama a 21-14 lead in the third quarter.

Clemson's Wayne Gallman scored on a one-yard run to give the Tigers a 24-21 lead, which means Chargers tackle Chris Hairston got a call from his mother.
Im about 75% sure my ma is going to call me for every Clemson 1st down, 3rd down stop, or scoring play — Chris Hairston (@C_Hairston75) January 12, 2016
Alabama tied the game up with 10:34 left in the fourth on a 35-yard field goal by Adam Griffith. That's when things got interesting.
The Crimson Tide recovered an on-side kick, which led to Howard scoring his second touchdown of the game on a 51-yard touchdown pass from Coker.
Was Saban smiling?!
