Mike Williams hung on and got the first down here, but it cost him a huge shot from Alabama DB Tony Brown.

Monday, Alabama announced via a Nick Saban statement that new FAU head coach Lane Kiffin will not join the Crimson Tide on the sideline or in the booth as offensive coordinator for its upcoming rematch with Clemson in the national title game.
