In a game where every yard was a struggle, the 'Bama defenders took matters into their own hands. The Tide's defense scored a pair of touchdowns just 13 seconds apart in the third quarter to turn an offensive slog into a 24-6 rout of defending national champion Clemson in the Sugar Bowl semifinal game Monday night.
