Our first Sportsman of the Week hails from a team we've recognized many times for the college football exploits. But he was not the first player you would have figured for the honor coming into the week. Alabama Crimson Tide RB Bo Scarbrough was just about the sole highlight on offense in the Peach Bowl, and with one run, put the College Football playoff game out of reach. Scarbrough busted out a 68 yard TD run on a day that mistakes kept dooming the Tide as they held on to a 17-7 lead over the Washington Huskies (7 of those points off of a defensive score). Scarbrough also hit a TD to tie the game in the 1st quarter on an impressive 18 yard TD run. His overall stats of 19 carries and 180 yards were season highs, and just in time to enable Alabama to try and repeat as College Football Playoff champions.
