After rewatching it several times, the best part of the Title game by far

Was watching Alabama's greatest Offense in program history, on what was supposed to be the greatest team in history, decline their last possession of the 1st Half & take 3 timeouts into the locker room down 15 points. It doesn't get any better than that as far as owning your opponent. Since Bama received the 2nd half kick, they had a chance at 2 scoring opportunities before our offense could get the ball back, but were being so out-schemed, couldn't risk another Turnover

That was something.
I still prefer the fake field goal. The way the holder stares hard at the sidelines, not believing the call, and then a sad little nod.
Hilarity ensues.

The fake field goal call was desperation.
Running out the clock with 30 seconds left, all three timeouts, Tua T. as your quarterback, that insane quartet of receivers, and the TE Smith . . . that was COWARDICE.

Not nitpicking, but there was 45 seconds left

With all 3 timeouts, a good offensive team can
at least get in field goal position if not a TD.

True, but I was thinking of the amount of time left after their first play was run. I was thinking, "Okay, they're going to have to take their first timeout now," and then looked at the clock winding down: 31, 30, 29, 28 . . . "What the hell are they doing? They're not really packing it in, are they? Holy ####!"

It's great to watch a team surrender. The 4th quarter punt. The meaningless FG. It's beautiful. We've done it to so many CFB bluebloods:
#4 Oklahoma 2015
#7 Miami 2017
#3 Notre Dame and #1 Alabama 2018
(I will give 0hi0 State credit—they went down with the ship.)

When fear of humiliation weighs more than taking it like a man,you depend on your opponents mercy... I would not have told the backups to apply the brakes...

We could not believe it at the game. You could tell if Clemson made a stop coming out of the half it was over.

Has the game been uploaded to YouTube yet? I can't seem to find it on there.

I have watched it 6 times

The bottom line:
The Clemson coaches completely out coached Bama at every level. They put the Bama coaches in a position of discomfort and they never recovered.
Above that bottom-line, Clemson players who know how to give 110% for 60 minutes!
That and Trevor's 50/50 throws*
*watch the sideline replay of the Natty with SEC crew. Count how many times THEY say "that throw was right on the money" (or something like that) It's a bunch!

TL standing behind the Tiger Wall throwing javelins to the spear catchers. All the wide receivers and running backs caught the spear.
10:02 drive starting at the 1ft line was the topping on the beatdown cake.

We were one snap away from dropping 50 on Bama. But we had a trophy to pick up and a Natty to celebrate.

My favorite moment was the look on Tua's face when he threw the 2nd interception.
He get a smile on his face, he starts to raise his hands, then... oh... that wasn't supposed to happen.
He didn't take any more downfield shots after that.

For me it was the long 10 minute drive in the fourth quarter that was a thing of beautY.

Not as exciting or fulfilling as the other events mentioned in this thread - but I felt like when Saban went for a first down on fourth and one on his own 35 in the first half showed that he knew he had to score a lot and keep the ball out of the hands of our offense..... ie the beginning of desperation!!

Much like 2015 with the desperation on-side kick... The Bama Magic was is full launch mode then... If (my Aunt had them she would be my Uncle)we had covered that kick,it would be 3 Trophies in 4 years...So that may have been a blessing in disguise, just to keep some humility...

Nick thought he might need to settle his QB down.

On top of that Tua's 'goto,' play was for all practical purposes taken out of the playbook. Imo, it became obvious that Bama's Oline just wasn't going to be able to give Tua a clean backfield. Tua freaked when an orange jersey entered his domain.

The OL had been maligned for SO MANY years, it was great to see them keep TL from from winding up in ICU, like a lot of folks predicted...
