National championship game primer: Can Clemson get anything on the ground?

Fans watching Monday night’s national championship game should keep these three names in mind: Akeem Judd, Rawleigh Williams III and Alvin Kamara.

Those are the only three players to score rushing TDs against Alabama this season. There have been 230 rushing attempts against the Tide since Kamara scored on a 7-yard run early in the second quarter of the seventh game of the season. Those 230 carries have netted 447 yards – or 1.9 yards per attempt.

Suffice to say, if Clemson averages 1.9 yards per carry Monday night, Alabama is going to win its second consecutive national title and its fifth in eight seasons.
