Alabama LB Christian Miller does not start national championship game

After taking the field in full uniform for the ceremonial coin flip as a team captain, Alabama linebacker Christian Miller has not taken the field early on against the Clemson Tigers in the national championship game in Santa Clara.

Miller was reportedly listed as a starter for the Crimson Tide on the lineup card for the game, but a hamstring injury has led to his absence early on in the game. We’ll see if Miller gets on to the field as the game progresses. Of course, this being Alabama, the Crimson Tide had a five-star player able to fill in with Dylan Moses getting snaps in his place.

Clemson’s offense went three-and-out on the game’s opening possession but Travis Etienne capped Clemson’s second possession with a touchdown run to give the Tigers a 14-7 lead early in the first quarter.
