In a near replay of the 2015 national title game, college football powers Alabama and Clemson traded haymakers Monday night, with some of the same big names delivering.
Watson led a commanding drive with two minutes remaining, and found wide receiver Hunter Renfrow in the flat for a touchdown with one second left to win the game 35-31.
It’s Clemson football’s first national title since 1981.
Renfrow’s touchdown catch was his second of the game, and his fourth across the two title games.
As in 2015, running back Wayne Gallman punched in a touchdown from one yard out, giving the Tigers their first lead with just 4:38 left in the game.
Crimson Tide linebacker Ryan Anderson got a sack and recovered two fumbles, including one he stripped out of Gallman’s arms, while punter J.K. Scott pinned Clemson inside their own 20 yard line three times in the first half and five times throughout the game.
The Tigers piled up 21 points on a Crimson Tide defense that had only given up 32 all season, denying coach Nick Saban his sixth title.
