    "One Play Away" Tommy Boy...Campbell Heads To NFL...Bama-Clemson Matchup


    * Bobby Bowden talks about being one or two players away. Now Tommy Bowden is talking about being one play away. Like father like son. Tommy Bowden after folding again with a loss to Auburn in the Chick-fil-A Bowl said that his Tigers are just one play away. “When you’re losing by 20 or 30 (points), you’re not one play away,” Bowden said.

    “I don’t think it’s a bad thing to have to keep saying that. At one point in time, based on experience, we are going to make that one play to put us in a championship game or in a BCS bowl game. I think as close as we’ve been for that amount of time, it’s eventually going to happen.” Sure Tommy.

    * Miami Hurricanes defensive end Calais Campbell made it official Thursday by saying he will skip his senior season and enter the NFL Draft. A 6-foot-8, 240-pound junior, Campbell is projected as a first-round pick by many analysts. Despite a disappointing season, scouts are still impressed by his size and potential. After having 10 sacks as a sophomore, Campbell finished last year with six sacks, one interception and 50 tackles.

    * The Atlanta committee that organized the Chick-fil-A Bowl is expected to announce final plans for Clemson and Alabama to open the 2008 season in the Georgia Dome. Atlanta Sports Council officials have been in negotiations with the schools for months to play the neutral-site game in Atlanta on August 30th, with tickets distributed evenly between the schools. Chick-fil-A Bowl president Gary Stokan said last week that plans for the game were put on hold while the committee focused on the bowl game, but he said talks would resume this week. "One Play Away" Tommy Boy can get another loss early.
