Clemson goes three-and-out and Bama will have good field position with just over 11 minutes to play.

Incredible display.
I thought Clemson would win, but never did I think it would go down like this. Total domination. 44 points in 46 plays.

It appears that Ross fumbled but the replay may overturn it.

Huge stop on fourth down for Clemson's defense. Clemson ball on their own 11.

That was the longest pass play in Clemson bowl history. Lawrence to Ross 74 yards. Previous long was 68 yards, Harvey White to Gary Barnes 1959 Bluebonnet

Alabama had allowed one 60-yard pass play all season entering today. It's allowed two 60-yard passes today.

Clemson's 21-point lead is tied for the largest ever against a Nick Saban-coached Alabama squad.

Alabama's Saivion Smith taken off the field on a cart after going down after attempting to defend Justyn Ross' route for a 74-yard TD.

Facing pressure, Lawrence hits Justyn Ross for a 74-yard touchdown.

I really can't fathom Alabama called a fake field goal where the kicker was used as a lead blocker, on 4th and 6.

Great play by Mark Fields and by the special teams sniffing out the fake field goal.

A receiver has caught 15 of the 17 balls thrown by Tua Tagovailoa, but the difference in the half is two of them have been Tigers. Two turnovers, two TDs for Clemson that way, two-score lead at the half.

Clemson's 31 points set a school bowl record for a first half, surpassing the 27 first-half points scored by the Tigers in the 1986 Gator Bowl and 2014 Russell Athletic Bowl. #ALLIN

Half: No. 2 Clemson leads No. 1 Alabama, 31-16. Travis Etienne has three touchdowns in eight touches tonight.

The kickoffs being boring is one of Clemson's strong points tonight. Touchback after touchback for BT Potter versus the nation's most efficient kick return game.

Clemson drive stalls in the red zone and Greg Huegel makes a 36-yard FG to give Clemson a 31-16 lead with 45 seconds left in the first half.

National analysts taking note. Strong effort so far.
I am floored how easily Clemson’s offensive line is handling Bama’s front. I just did not see that coming.

Alabama has almost 70 more yards than Clemson (251-183) but both teams are averaging 7.6 yards per play and the Tigers lead by 12.

Shovel pass to Travis Etienne for a Clemson touchdown.

Trayvon Mullen with a pick and a 46-yard return to the Alabama 47.

Both QBs playing like underclassmen tonight at times. Defenses taking advantage.

Mon Jan 07 22:18:40 GMT-04:00 2019
Clemson o-line is doing some work early. The Tigers have to be able to run it tonight and they're getting it done in the red zone so far. Shades of that 2016-season game performance versus the Crimson Tide.

Mon Jan 07 22:16:48 GMT-04:00 2019
Good protection gives Lawrence all day to find Higgins there over the middle.

Mon Jan 07 22:12:36 GMT-04:00 2019
If there's one thing the Clemson defense will stop now, it's the shovel pass. Probably labeled the Pitt drill at this point in practice.

Austin Bryant with the tackle on third down. Bama makes the 25-yard FG.

This seems like a big play coming up. Any sort of way to keep Alabama from TDs will be crucial tonight. Shaping up for quite a bit of pressure on Trevor Lawrence's shoulders. He's 2-of-7 so far but averaging 10 yards per on those attempts he's connected on.

Mon Jan 07 22:08:23 GMT-04:00 2019
When play resumes, Alabama will have the ball 3rd-and-goal from the three.

At the end of the first quarter, Clemson leads Alabama 14-13.

Clemson goes three-and-out and not a great punt from Spiers.

Nine missed PATs now for Alabama this year. Special teams hurting - not helping - one of these teams was a key going into this one.
