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.

We were at the game and it was amazing! Go Tigers!!
For you that are into sports..a chris lowery made two donations to torture victim gofundme. 1k and 5k. Might be the basketball coach.5k is the biggest donation so far
Also Alabama scored 31pts, so one could argue that the D (Saban's pride and joy) was a huge reason for the loss.
Good loser... sore loser... Whichever you consider yourself, both have one thing in common.
Clemson colors are Orange and Purple, actually, but sometimes you see swag with navy and orange, I think. But not uniforms.
Did they not have two lng td passes?
No worries, perfectly legal. One is offense, one is defense. No problem as long as they are NOT on the field at the same time....
Thanks, makes sense.
Ebb Tide!
Finally a game that lived up to all the national championship hype.
The facts are with Kiffin on the sideline they brought home the trophy. Another fact is Sabin has made Alabama a giant again. But the truth is we’ll never know if things would have turned out differently.
As for Kiffin himself, he reminds me of Spurrier in that he doesn’t take it too seriously. Sabin has everyone back at work today. Hey, it’s just a game.
Not the first time Kiffin has been unceremoniously canned for not exactly being with the program
Third or fourth I think
But in his defense it will be fun to see how he does in posh Boca
FAU is a pretty ethnic enrollment its freshman and sophomore classes but drops sharply after that
Lotsa football talent in south Florida and just Florida in general
He’ll have to compete with Gators and Seminoles and Hurricanes and Georgia and Alabama too
My mistake
My 14 year old free safety son who saw my post scolded me
It’s purple dad..,,not same as Gators
I replied “how’s Charlie Connerly throwing this season”
I’m slow on football talk
But I did love that game last night and even though a Bama fan I leaned Clemson on their comeback
Doing that to Alabama ain’t easy
It’s a southern school it’s all good
Give credit where credit is due. It wasn't Kiffin's fault. The Washington Huskies have a damn salty defense with several guys who will be playing on Sundays in the near future.
That’s funny! I went to Clemson and it has always aggravated me that their colors are colors I don’t generally like to wear. Thanks for the kind words. Bama’s coach is a class act as well.
I just heard the saddest thing. When Clemson returned home there were large crowds to greet then at the airport and later at our stadium. Not so with Alabama. Heard there was only a dozen people to greet the team on their return.
