To call Alabama tight end Michael Williams open would have been a stretch. It didn't stop AJ McCarron from delivering a fastball that must have made lots of Alabama fans think the Crimson Tide's quarterback competition is over. McCarron was poised and efficient in a rare trip to Big Ten country for No. 3 Alabama, throwing for 163 yards and a 5-yard touchdown that he zipped through traffic to Williams as the Tide beat No. 23 Penn State 27-11 on Saturday.
