Though this will mark the third straight season Alabama and Clemson have met in the College Football Playoff, the other two have been in the national championship game, Nick Saban says he is looking forward to the Clemson-Alabama Trilogy.
Like a lot of trilogies, this one will have a few different stars playing in it than it did the last two years. No longer does Alabama have to worry about Deshaun Watson, Mike Williams, Artavis Scott, Jordan Leggett or Wayne Gallman, but they do have to pay attention to that kid named Hunter Renfrow.
Renfrow has eaten up the Alabama secondary in the previous two meetings, catching 17 passes for 180 yards and four touchdowns, including the game-winning score in last year’s title game.
