If you saw this shootout coming, hopefully you bet the first-half over.
Monday night’s College Football Playoff national championship game has featured a surprising amount of scoring as Clemson leads Alabama 31-16.
Alabama was of course down to Georgia at the half of last year’s national championship game. Tua Tagovailoa came in off the bench and the rest is college football history.
Can Nick Saban’s squad pull off the comeback again? Here’s a small sampling of what fans are saying about the Tigers’ halftime lead and who will lead after the final whistle:
Hard to imagine Bama shutting out anyone.

Alabama defense has no shot at stopping Clemson right now and that pick by Tua may be the play to give Clemson the title . #NationalChampionship

I feel like Clemson has to score every drive to win this game. I’m just so numb to these Alabama National Titles.

Plot twist: Alabama is purposefully playing bad so Jalen Hurts can come in the game and lead huge comeback and be crowned king of Alabama

Clemson looks to be in control. Will be ultimate irony if Hurts comes in second half and wins the game however. #ClemsonvsAlabama

Clemson is going to win this game just off of Alabama’s penalties.
