HOW THESE TEAMS GOT HERE
Alabama: The Crimson Tide became the first team since Yale all the way back before 1900 to beat every opponent in the regular season by 20 or more points. Over the course of the regular season, which featured eight games of at least 50 points, no team came closer to beating Alabama than Texas A&M’s 45-23 Week 4 loss in Tuscaloosa. It wasn’t a soft schedule, either. The Tide beat LSU, Texas A&M and Mississippi State before besting Georgia in a drama-filled SEC Championship Game. The stretch of 20-point wins came to a close as the Bulldogs gave the Tide all it could handle until Jalen Hurts, in relief of the injured Tua Tagovailoa, executed a storybook comeback and preserved Alabama’s undefeated season. From there, Alabama advanced to the College Football Playoff semifinals, where it dispatched of No. 4 Oklahoma 45-34 in a game that was not as close as the final score may indicate.
Clemson: After a somewhat uninspiring start to the season, Tigers coach Dabo Swinney officially made the switch from playing both senior Kelly Bryant and five-star freshman Trevor Lawrence at quarterback to naming Lawrence the starter. That caused Bryant to transfer and led to a close call when Lawrence was injured during his first start against Syracuse a week later. Thanks to third-stringer Chase Brice, Clemson edged the Orange, 27-23. And when Lawrence returned the following week, that started the Tigers’ easy march through ACC play. Over the next eight games, including wins over No. 16 NC State, No. 17 Boston College and Pitt in the ACC title game, Clemson won by an average of 38.25 points. In the College Football Playoff semifinals, the Tigers made quick work of No. 3 Notre Dame, winning 30-3 to set up round four with Alabama.
FIVE THINGS TO KNOW
• Here’s a brief history of the first three parts. This is the fourth time that Alabama and Clemson have faced each other in the last four College Football Playoffs. The first matchup came in Phoenix at the beginning of 2016, when Nick Saban got crazy enough to try an onside kick in the second half and the teams combined for 40 fourth-quarter points in a 45-40 Alabama win for Alabama’s fourth title in seven seasons.
The teams met in the title game a year later in Tampa, where Clemson fans will remind you that Deshaun Watson hit Hunter Renfrow for a last-second touchdown and a 35-31 win over the Crimson Tide. The teams only combined for 28 points in the fourth quarter this time, though Clemson came back from a 27-17 deficit over the final 15 minutes.
The only non-title game meeting came last year, when Alabama and Clemson met in the Sugar Bowl. With Kelly Bryant at QB for the Tigers, Alabama jumped out to a 10-0 and stifled Clemson’s offense for the first time in the three meetings. Alabama won 24-6 to set up a meeting with Georgia for the national championship. Yes, this means that Alabama’s seniors (and redshirt juniors) are making their fourth title game appearance in four seasons at the school.
• How does Alabama try to shake Trevor Lawrence? The Clemson quarterback has been unflappable since he took over for Bryant as the team’s starter in the regular season. What does Nick Saban have in store to try to confuse him and force ill-advised throws?
Lawrence picked apart Notre Dame’s defense in the Cotton Bowl. He was 27-of-39 passing for 327 yards and three touchdowns. You can bet that Saban and his defensive staff have looked at that film multiple times and are vowing to do things that Notre Dame didn’t or couldn’t to rattle Lawrence.
