It took Alabama just over nine minutes to jump to a 14-point lead over Oklahoma.
The Crimson Tide and Sooners are squaring off in the Orange Bowl for a trip to the National Championship Game. Clemson is already through after knocking off Notre Dame, and Alabama has jumped out to an early lead in the night game.
The second score of the game came on a beautiful throw-and-catch by QB Tua Tagovailoa and WR Henry Ruggs III. Tagovailoa recognized the one-on-one matchup and unleashed a nice throw towards the corner pylon.
Ruggs did the rest, elevating over his defender and coming down inbounds with an impressive catch:
