Clemson players have repeatedly said they want payback Monday night for the loss to Alabama last season in the national championship game, but the Crimson Tide defense is out for revenge as well.
Alabama defeated the Tigers 45-40 last January in Arizona, but several players on that Alabama defense say they were disappointed with the way they played.
The 550 yards of offense put up by Clemson is the most the Crimson Tide has allowed since 2014.
“We’re licking our chops too, even though we won. We want to come out and have a great performance and go out and do what we need to do to gain that standard,” Alabama linebacker Tim Williams said.
