As fans recover from the Christmas season, their focus can now shift to the College Football Playoff.
We are now less than a week away from the Playoff, and Alabama fans are getting hyped up for a rematch with Clemson. The Tigers and Crimson Tide are facing off in a third straight Playoff after dueling it out for the national championship each of the last two seasons.
Last season, Clemson scored a game-winning touchdown with just seconds remaining to capture the title. Now, Nick Saban and company are heading into round three of the matchup looking for revenge.
Alabama has dealt with a number of injuries on the defensive side of the ball and will be without some key contributors, but the Crimson Tide still boast a talented and explosive offense. Led by QB Jalen Hurts, Alabama will need to be at the top of its game to score on the Tigers defense.
As we get closer to game time, fans will certainly see a number of hype videos, but this one released by AL.com is fantastic.
Here is a look at the video that previews the matchup as “A Battle in the Big Easy.”
Kickoff for the Sugar Bowl is set for 8:45 pm EST New Year’s Day on ESPN.
