Fans still filing in here at the dome. They pushed kickoff back to 9:00 ET. Still a lot of empty seats right now, but a lot of Orange!

We're hearing J.D. Davis might start at LB for Tre Lamar. Stay tuned....

Crowder, Morris , O'Daniel and Carter are your captains.

Tigers will get the ball first. Our info about J.D. Davis was correct. He will start for Tre Lamar, who has been recovering from a stinger since the FSU game. Dabo has been saying he's been good to go for the last couple weeks, and he is suited up on the sideline. 

Also, K'Von Wallace will start at safety for Tanner Muse.

Etienne gets clocked on the return. Ball at the 16.

Big 3rd and 7 here.

Bama was all over Renfrow with double coverage. 3 and out for the Tigers.

Bama ball at their 46.

Big tackle by JD! Huge 3rd down coming.

D answers with a 3 and out!

Tigers will take over at their 16.

Meanwhile, OU is about to attempt a 33-yard field goal to force double overtime.

Etienne carry on 1st down for 3 yards.

3rd and 7 again.

Incomplete again. Another 3 and out.

Bama will take over at its 47 with under 11 mins left in the 1st.

UGA just had an INT erased because of offsides. Huge mistake! Still OU ball in double OT.

Ugh defense fooled on the zone ready by Hurts for a big gain. Ball at the Tigers' 34.

TFL by O'Daniel! 2nd and 12 from the 36.

3rd and 2 at the 26 after a completion.

Harris breaks into the second level for a first down. 1st down at the 15.

Ugh offsides on Bryant gives Bama 1st and goal.

UGA just won in double overtime. Gonna be insane if its Clemson vs UGA in Atlanta!!! Knock on wood.

Scarbrough gang tackled for a loss!

Hurts scrambles. Huge 3rd and goal from the 6.

Tigers hold!!!

Good grief, Cain drops a first down on 3rd and long. 3 and out again.

Huggins in the game for Big Dex.

2nd and 10 now from the Tigers' 46.

1st down run by Harris.

3rd and 4 from the 28.

Ridley wide open in the end zone for a touchdown. This game starting out a lot like last year's.

Tigers trail 10-0 at the end of the 1st.

Kelly with a bad sack after Morris and Etienne got run over by the DT. Shouldn't have had Travis in there on pass pro. Should have had Fuller in. Might tip their hand, but at least it would give Kelly a chance.

Kelly runs for the 1st on 3rd and 12! First 1st down of the game for the Tigers on the 20 yard gain.

CAIN IS ABLE!!! Big 1st down catch! Great concentration after the bad drop earlier. 1st down at the Bama 41.

Cain again! 3rd and one at the 33.

1st down Kelly! Ball at the 28.

Incomplete to Higgins in the end zone on 3rd and 9. Pretty good throw, considering he took a big shot on the pass. 

Spence hits the 44-yard field goal! CLUTCH!

TIGERS TRAIL 10-3 WITH 10 MINS LEFT IN THE HALF.

Good job by the coverage unit! Bama ball at their 15.

Flee-flicker broken up by Van Smith! They had the touchdown to Ridley, but Hurts underthrew it just enough for Van Smith to make a terrific recovery and get the PBU.

1st down Bama at the Tigers' 49.

Huge 3rd and 5 at the Tigers 45! Gotta get a stop!

Tigers will take over at their 10 yard line. Been lousy field position the entire half. But a long touchdown drive to tie it up at halftime, and it's a whole new ball game!

AMARI RODGERS! 16-yard catch. 1st down at the 26.

Feaster carries for 4 yards.

No gain on the screen to Feaster. Big 3rd and 6 now.

Ugh, Kelly forced to throw it away. Bama will get the ball back with good field position and 4 minutes left in the half.

Register comes in and whifs on a tackle. 2nd and 4 for Bama.

Terrible PI call on Mullen. He had his hand on the receiver but was looking back for the ball the whole way.

SACK BRYANT!!!

Hurts scrambles for 10 yards, but the D forces a field goal. Will be a 32 yarder.

Unbelievable. Tigers get I think their first block of the season, and it's erased for delay of game.

OFF THE POST!!! Lol finally a break! Guess you can call that karma.

TIGERS TRAIL 10-3 AT THE HALF.

Bama will get the ball to start the 2nd.

Tigers' avg starting field position was their own 18. Bama was their 41!

FUMBLE!!!! 

Recovered by Joseph! Just what the doctor ordered!

Ugh Tigers unable to get anything. Spence to attempt a 42-yarder.

High snap, but Spnce nails it! Clutch!

TIGERS TRAIL 10-6 START OF 3RD.

Good job by Ferrell on 1st down to force Hurts back inside for no gain!

Big 3rd and 7! Need a 3 and out!

Pressure by Simmons, incomplete! Huge 3 and out by the D!!! Need to take the lead here!

Ray-Ray back for his first punt return opportunity, but he lets it bounce. Tigers will start at their 32. Best field position all night aside from the fumble recovery.

Damn, great deep ball to Cain, but it was broken up on the sideline.

3rd and 2 after an 8 yard run by Etienne.

KELLY FIRST DOWN RUN!!!

UGH!!! Etienne whifs on a block and Kelly throws a pick as he's hit. Ball at the Tigers' 27 after a horse collar tackle by Anchrum on the INT return.

Bama going for it on 4th and one at the Tigers 18!

Harris picks up the 1st down.

DT Payne released out of the backfield for a TD catch.

TIGERS TRAIL 17-6 WITH 5:35 LEFT IN 3RD.

Things seem bleaker than they are. It's only 11 points but feels like more because of the momentum and the way the Tigers have struggled offensively. They only ran 26 plays in the first half. I'm willing to bet that's the least they've ever run in the Dabo Swinney era. 

The Tigers have shot themselves in the foot a bunch. They dropped a couple big passes, and the 2 missed blocks by Etienne were huge--one of them cost the Tigers a potential score and gave Bama a TD.

Good grief. Tipped pass for a pick-six on 1st down. That's a back-breaker.

TIGERS TRAIL 24-6.

Nice 1st down run by Kelly. He didn't hesitate that time. Need more of that! Gotta go super fast tempo to get back into this one.

Kelly takes a huge sack, and the Tigers punt again. Time running out fast.

Sack by Ferrell.

3rd and 13 from the Clemson 43.

Hurts scrambles, but the Tigers force a punt to end the 3rd quarter.

TIGERS TRAIL 24-6 HEADED TO THE 4TH.

Tigers get a first down on that possession but nothing else. Bama will get the ball back with under 13 to play.
