Clemson's pick-six just minutes into the 2019 National Championship

Less than two minutes into the 2019 National Championship, Clemson sent a message that this game was going to be different. Alabama quarterback Tua Tagovailoa threw his very first pass of the night, and Clemson cornerback A.J. Terrell jumped the route, intercepted it and raced 44 yards for a pick-six, putting the Tigers ahead 7–0 with 13:20 still left in the first quarter. It was an explosive start to a championship game that quickly turned into a historic Clemson performance. Alabama would answer almost immediately with a 62-yard touchdown pass, but Clemson kept attacking and eventually overwhelmed the defending champions. Trevor Lawrence threw for 347 yards and three touchdowns, while Clemson's defense held Alabama scoreless in the second half as the Tigers cruised to a 44–16 victory and finished the season a perfect 15–0. That opening pick-six by Terrell feels even crazier looking back now — it was the first sign of one of the most dominant championship performances of the CFP era.
