2. Goal Line Stand

By this point, the game was easily in hand.

The Tigers were up 44-16 and the game was in the fourth quarter.

Alabama did drive down the field, though, and the Tide were on the verge of scoring. Tua Tagovailoa hit Damien Harris on 1st and Goal from the eight-yard line, setting up a 2nd and Goal on the one-yard line.

What happened next was absolutely amazing. The Tigers stoned Damien Harris on both 2nd and 3rd down, setting up a 4th down play for Alabama.

Bama elected to run Tua and the Tigers met him in the backfield, dropping him for a 7-yard loss.

To me, this series was indicative of the game. Clemson was just more physical at the point of attack and the Tigers absolutely outmatched the Crimson Tide.
