SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. | Three years ago, Clemson rushed for 91 yards on 42 carries and won a national title in Tampa.
A year ago, the Tigers rushed for 135 yards against Alabama and won the national championship by four touchdowns.
Once upon a time, these paltry rushing numbers probably would've brought a loss in the championship game.
