Alabama’s Bo Scarbrough helped the Crimson Tide take a commanding 24-7 lead in the fourth quarter of the Chick-fil-A Bowl on Saturday with a highlight-reel 68-yard touchdown run.

Scarbrough appeared to be hemmed in on the right sideline, but he broke tackles by Washington defenders Jojo McIntosh and Greg Gaines before breaking loose for the touchdown.

That gave defending national champion a commanding lead. Scarbrough had another key run on the drive with a 12-yard run on third-and-9 from the Alabama 3-yard line. His latest run gave him 175 yards and two touchdowns off 14 carries.
