ESPN vice president of production Lee Fitting picks Clemson on the ESPN telecast. Says there's 310 cameras around Levi's Stadium today. I can believe it. Every inch of this place covered by the network and all the other media assembled.

Opportune time for Clemson for Tua Tagovailoa to not look like Tua Tagovailoa in Alabama's first series. Some kinda miscommunication there and Tagovailoa's pass was nowhere near the intended target.

This seems like a big play coming up. Any sort of way to keep Alabama from TDs will be crucial tonight. Shaping up for quite a bit of pressure on Trevor Lawrence's shoulders. He's 2-of-7 so far but averaging 10 yards per on those attempts he's connected on.

If there's one thing the Clemson defense will stop now, it's the shovel pass. Probably labeled the Pitt drill at this point in practice.

Clemson o-line is doing some work early. The Tigers have to be able to run it tonight and they're getting it done in the red zone so far. Shades of that 2016-season game performance versus the Crimson Tide.

A receiver has caught 15 of the 17 balls thrown by Tua Tagovailoa, but the difference in the half is two of them have been Tigers. Two turnovers, two TDs for Clemson that way, two-score lead at the half.
