For a game that ended 30-3 Clemson, it’s pretty shocking how close the efficiencies were!
But anyone perusing the semifinal scoreboards is at risk of coming to the wrong conclusion: the Alabama-Oklahoma game was not that close, and this Clemson-ND game wasn’t nearly the domination that it appears to be. (Convenient conclusion for an Alabama fan, certainly, but I’ll refer you again to the numbers above and for the Orange Bowl. Also, Alabama has benefitted from similar games in the past, including vs. Clemson last season).
@Bryan Driskell if you have time, Id like to get your perspective on this article. It's crazy how similar I viewed the game as the writer(s) of this article do.
