"OH MY...STORYBOOK IT FOR THE BIG I just love that.

[jacksonaggie]

It was over after that hit on the opening kickoff

[crewkid]

In the Rose Bowl there was almost no defense played. This one was a defensive masterclass taught by the Tide

[montecarlo]

This is the kind of fly all over the place defense I miss at Bama. We sure didn't have this during the Pete Golding era. Maybe we can get some semblance of this again now that Kevin Steele is back....maybe

[bigmac]

I remember this game like yesterday, as soon as Alabama ran out of the tunnel, you could see how huge them boys got while they had that little time off. I didn't even like Bama but as soon as seen that and that hit, I knew it was over.

[russmoore]

Back when we had a dominant defense! Lord I miss that.

Clemson has been blown out 3 times in the playoffs, this game, LSU and OSU in 2021

[willcosper]

Looking back on it, both teams played excellent defense. Clemson made way more mistakes than Alabama on offense

[caleblozano]

Clemson’s QB couldn’t stay in the pocket😂 reminds me of a little kid running around with Lamar Jackson in madden or trying to lol

[mjr]

Clemson had great defense this year offensively not so much

[richardpierce]

think that blonde has spent WAY too much time in the tanning bed.

[thecrown_jul]

Lmao a lot a Bama fans showed up. I wish i was there with them.

[ronelite]

I think if Tua played in this game rather than Hurts, the score would have been 38-6 Bama. Hurts gave up numerous 3rd downs in the 4 th qtr that Tua would have completed.

Poor Kelly Briant. 🤦‍♂
That was the game that saw Dabo Swinney banish him to the bench the following season.

[thedungeondelver]

Clemson completely failed the clock management game in the last half of the 4th. They could've created the opportunity to do something with 6-7 minutes, but they seemed to just give up, didn't use time outs, didn't try to get out of bounds. Very strange. The only thing I can figure is that Dabo was just playing to get an honorable score and keep his team from being injured.

[lolmetswhathappeneduhhh]

Boy watching these highlights after the fact, Jalen was horrible in this game too, not just the national title game.

[MrRFAvery]

I never liked Hurt's as a quarterback. He looked to run more than pass.
