Deshaun Watson's 2-yard touchdown pass to Hunter Renfrow with 1 second remaining gave Clemson a wild 35-31 win over Alabama in the College Football Playoff national championship game.

Watson completed 36 of 56 passes for 420 yards and three scores in his last college game, as the Tigers (14-1) got their first national title since 1981.

The Clemson Head coach-Dabo Swinney and QB Deshaun Watson are both very humble winners, not forgetting to be thankful for their talents and good fortune.

Excellent connection. Thanks. 2017 and 2014. Maybe the best teams copy each other. I still like this article about Nebraska football

I'm sick of Saban winning too much!

Why would you even SAY that? American's aren't supposed to try their hardest to do their best to be great?

Have you ever been sick of George Washington doing his best for America despite the fact that some 70 per cent of the citizenry of the British provinces were against him?

I'd hate to be on your side for any purpose you support.

One for the Ages

Interesting to hear Saban’s take at the presser

I am a life long Nana fan. So I must say, Fark Clemson. As Vince Lombardi once said “show a good loser ànd I’ll show you à loser”.

Saban hired Kiffin to run the offense then removed him from the championship game because he didn’t like the plays he called in the last game. I have to wonder if the result would have been different if Kiffin had been on the sidelines tonight.

I think Saban mishandled the whole Kiffin thing, and it ultimately doomed them.

Alabama and Clemson squads will become only the seventh and eighth teams to play 15 games since the NCAA was formed in the 1930s.

So has any team before Clemson ever won 14 games in a season?

Why was Alabama allowed to have two players wearing #2?

No-Bad analogy.

The dirtiest worst cheating program that abuses their players, fans and coaches would be the on par with HRC. There’s no program in college football that bad.

A heart beat stopper all the way. What a game! I’m an ACC fan so am happy, but two great teams and one heck of a game. Bama should still stand proud. Of all the college teams, these two are the tops!

Go ACC!

No, the results would have been the same because of the incompetent refs. It’s hard to beat Clemson AND the refs.

I congratulate the Crimson Tide on a great season and I’m so proud to be a Bama fan!

That was just an awesome game from start to finish. Their attitude and passion is off the charts. Very impressive.
