Alabama had Jalen hurts, trevon diggs, josh Jacobs, marlon Humphrey, Minkah Fitzpatrick, Calvin Ridley all on 1 team! THATS A ALL STAR COLLEGE TEAM

Earned and incredible amount of respect for Watson after this game. Classic

[@ekibirigeable]

You mean you didn't respect him yet after the performance he put up against Bama the previous year, throwing for over 400 yds even though Clemson eventually lost? The dude is a straight out Baller!

Clemson and Alabama rarely disappoint when they play each other

[@Jakuboooooooooo]

This Clemson team was so stacked with ballers and most of them were underrated. Mike Williams, Gallman, Tanner mf Muse CJ Fuller, Deion Cain, Renfrow, Leggett, Artavis Scott, a young McCloud, Tremayne Anchrum, Wilkins, Clelin Ferrell, Dorian O’Daniel, Ben mf Boulware, Kendall Joseph, Jabril Robinso, Austin Bryant, Tankersly, a young Dexter Lawrence and Trayvon Mullen, Carlos Watkins…. Plus a few others that would turn into absolute ballers in the next 2 years after this. The memories are so good 🥺

I still have to watch this from time to time Just to see the sear will of a great team to come back and win what they had to claim!! Go Tigers 🐅 CU 4 Life!!!!

This my favorite natty game even tho we lost

[@ekibirigeable]

This game and the previous year's game were both instant classics. Watson showed that he was a true generational quarterback!

[@aem870]

Excellent highlights.

[@blainebasil6577]

What an incredible moment

[@richardpierce4908]

17:29...........the screen was intended for Damien Harris. I could tell Harris had a ton of room and blockers, and I heard from those who attended that he had a clear lane to the endzone.

[@dlane62598]

Yep

[@bodybuilcdf]

This game was amazing! Could’ve gone either way. I think that if Jalen had the ball 1 last time he would’ve gotten that ring but gotta tip the hats off to clemson. Watson put up a hell of a drive at the end

Looking back bama had Fitz at Safety, Foster at LB & both Humphrey and Averrett at CB wow, while Diggs was at WR still before switching to CB

@@unitedstates3750 y’all suck y’all are an absolute joke and laughing stock of college football now. Hope those 3-4 years was worth it. They pushed off the dbs all game and ran 3 illegal picks in the game. Got every pass interference call every time the drive mattered. I wish we would play y’all again we would beat y’all by 100.

@@ekibirigeable well i mean illegal pick plays are illegal for a reason and Clemson got multiple scores and first downs from those so that’s a pretty good excuse if you ask me😂

[@thandrew3470]

That obvious pick play at the end was bs

[@Thedude24]

Those two pick plays were illegal. Alabamas’ defense was exhausted by the start of the fourth quarter though. The defense battled hard but was simply put right back on the field way too much in that game. Alabamas offense cost them the title more than anything else.

[@Ultra-BLV]

It’s the final play of the game. A game winning touchdown. No ref is going to call that, sorry.
