The entire trajectory of Monday night’s national championship game shifted when Alabama RB Bo Scarbrough left the game in the second half with an apparent leg injury.

The Crimson Tide offense had trouble sustaining drives after that point and eventually watched as Clemson completed a comeback to earn a 35-31 victory.

On Tuesday afternoon, Alabama coach Nick Saban updated the status of the star back’s injury, and it wasn’t good:

“Bo Scarbrough suffered a fracture to his right lower leg during the game,” a school release said. “The injury is non-surgical and we anticipate he will make a full recovery.”

Whether the talented sophomore is ready for spring practices remains to be seen, but hopefully he makes a full recovery from the tough injury.

Scarbrough finished the game with 93 yards and two touchdowns on 16 carries.
