Alabama executed an onside kick to perfection in the National Championship Game on Monday that changed the game.
After kicking a field goal to tie the game in the fourth quarter at 24, Bama decided to try an onside kick. Alabama started with a bunch formation and Clemson prepared for the deep kick. Bama took advantage and caught a high bounce on the fly.
Here’s a look at the beautiful onside kick:

Was Alabama offsides on the play?
Contrary to what the broadcast said, that wasn't close to being offside. pic.twitter.com/uJB4i5O6l2

Following the onside kick, Jake Coker threw a 51-yard touchdown pass to make it 31-24 Alabama. That changed the momentum in the game.
