The matchup is set for the college football National Championship game to be played Monday night in Atlanta. After a record-breaking Rose Bowl, in which Georgia defeated Oklahoma in double overtime, Alabama beat up on Clemson to win the Sugar Bowl.
Here’s a recap of the Rose Bowl:
Beating Oklahoma and the newly crowned Heisman Trophy winner, Georgia is going to the national championship game.
But the victory for the Bulldogs on Monday wasn’t easy.
It was the first overtime game in the 104-year history of the Rose Bowl, the highest-scoring Rose Bowl ever and the first College Football Playoff game to go into overtime.
What's more, it was a double OT.
And here’s a recap of the Sugar Bowl:
NEW ORLEANS – Nick Saban is back in his comfort zone.
Let others run up the points. He'll take a defensive slugfest every time.
Especially when it gives Alabama another shot at a national title.
In a game where every yard was a struggle, the Crimson Tide defenders took matters into their own hands. They accounted for a pair of touchdowns just 13 seconds apart in the third quarter to turn an offensive slog into a 24-6 rout of defending national champion Clemson in the Sugar Bowl semifinal game Monday night.
"This game was about our identity as a team," Saban said. "I don't think anybody would doubt our relentless attitude out there. We had a warrior-like mentality."
