Clemson put up 40+ points on a very elite Alabama defense. It was offense that won that game.


the team with the better defense still won.
Bama was 42nd in offensive yards per game and Clemson was 10th.


Bama had an elite defense and an average offense and they won.

Defense had nothing to do with it. A good special teams play basically turned that into a win for Bama because they werent stopping Clemson's offense. It was 24-21 Clemson then Bama ripped off 10 points in a row due to the FG then TD on the short field after onside recovery. Clemson scored the next 3 drives, but that stolen possession was the difference.
