TAMPA, Fla. — Second-ranked Clemson takes on top-ranked Alabama in the College Football Playoff National Championship Game tonight at Raymond James Stadium in Tampa, Florida. Here are five numbers to note as kickoff approaches…
7.5: Yards per attempt for Jalen Hurts. The Alabama quarterback’s ability to throw the football has become a robust conversation starter in the run-up to Monday’s CFP title game. Hurts is a true freshman, and a Crimson Tide victory make him the first of his experience level to start under center for a national champion. This stat showcases Hurts’ limitations as a passer.
