It looked as if Alabama had another victory in the bag, leading the #2-ranked Tigers right up to the final seconds of the game.  But then Clemson standout quarterback Deshaun Watson took the snap on first-and-goal with five seconds remaining in the game, completing a two-yard pass to receiver Hunter Renfrow to seal the victory, with a lone second remaining on the clock.

Last night’s win was Clemson’s first national championship since 1981.
