Alabama football started off 2008 with a statement win vs. the Clemson Tigers

When Alabama football began their second season of Nick Saban’s tenure, they knew that they had to see progress. With solid recruiting and a veteran offensive line, many thought that the Tide would be a better team. However, no one expected them to have an undefeated regular season and compete for an SEC Championship. The first chance Alabama really turned heads was in their season opener against the Clemson Tigers.

Clemson had hopes of competing for a national title, but they were squandered after one game against the Tide.
