Saban looks a lot darker and more muscular than I remember
NashCBJ ahahaha I see that
agree...steroids?
NashCBJ he's been lifting with the kangaroo.
That Lineman looked like a fucking joke no wonder they lost
NashCBJ he's been hitting the tanning bed and gym overtime mwhaaaahaaaahaaaa
Hats Off to Clemson. They earned it. So congratulations to them. I'm happy for you Dabo.
Still proud of my team though. RTR!
best of 3? lol let's go tigers
ryan spires Bama will be back...Clemson?? idk
CrimsonTide bama sucks
Cyruss bro bama and Clemson will be back next year and bama will win it watch
we the best we will get another next year.
For all the people that put Saban down and call him a tyrant and everything he always shows great humility and graciousness by praising his players and opponents.
LOL!
I agree with saban we lose one game does not mean we are a bad team. We beat clemson & they beat us. Congrats to Clemson they won & deserve to win it. I am looking at this way we sure did not lose 31-0. I think we had a awesome season. I am glad we have that committed RB. ROLL TIDE!
Lucky Underwood preach!
Lucky Underwood Clemson should be back 2 back champs....
West Coast 57257 nope
23dlc Well Clemson did cheat on 2 touchdowns soooooooo
Predsfan 9 Was offensive pass interference. they were a little easier on Clemson on calls. Everybody wants to beat us it influences decisions sometimes...Clemson played better on offense controlling the clock it's hard with a freshman Qb to do that. Explosive play when need sure. At 14-0 I was thinking they will open up the pass but Clemson scored and from there we were one dimension on O and it was much easier for Clemson. Hey we won 4 in 8 years. Clemson won't be a dynasty once Watson is gone whole different ordinary team sorry.
Saban handled this with class. He's a good ambassador for Alabama. Thank god the winner wasn't a west or northeast team.
Congrats to Clemson god bless both teams Alabama will be back next year.
Christopher Simmons lol
Christopher Simmons ..I don't think they will be back.
I'm surprised bama came bk this year tbh.
Darrin Zielke ummm, they will definitely be back
Christopher Simmons roll inbreds roll!
congrats clemson. hopefully this can be a best of 3 series next year with Bama kicking your ass!
Watson is going to the NFL and could possibly be going to the Cleveland Browns. Unless they have a QB as good as he is Clemson might not be back next year.
Iron Nomad good point, Alabama as well since some of there defense is going pro, and I'm not all that confident with jalen hurts being qb. he is good and still young, but I know alabama can get better quarterbacks. regardless, it was an entertaining game even if it didn't go my way :)
They just had a QB from Hawaii enroll at school as a freshman. Sarc was talking to him back when he was at USC. I think Hurts is good but still young and I think that he'll be even better next year. At Least he'll have some competition.
Iron Nomad I'm from Hawaii and I know exactly who you are talking about, his name is tua tagovailoa. he will be good competition. hurts is a better runner and more built and athletic. but tua is a great passer, along with possessing great athleticism. I just can't wait for next year!
Seth Thomas naw ohio st gonna beat Bama
Come on guy putting name signs on the table, you had one job!!
No Regrets probably too sad to care!!
No Regrets bollioud programe
No Regrets exactly
My feelings in the matter. I never watched this game. This was one of those games that I KNEW Bama was going to lose so I wasn't going to watch it. Just like when Bama lost to Urban Meyer & Ohio State in the first playoff. For some reason, idk why, there are times I know when they are going to lose & manage somehow not to watch. I remember as a child watching them lose to Notre Dame. Twice. And I knew then too they were going to lose. Thanks to my Dad I couldn't "not watch it" & I was a kid & didn't understand that esp then. Well I still don't understand it, but for some reason I end up not seeing the games they lose. And the worst is when I get that feeling before an Auburn game. Cuz I don't want to believe it & still end up watching them lose.
P/S- The year before, when Bama beat Clemson, I really felt bad for Clemson cuz they played their hearts out. I was glad Bama won but felt like both teams were so good that they both deserved to win. And I don't remember ever feeling like that after a Bama Natty. IDK, but for some reason I felt the game was going to fall in Clemsons favor cuz of the previous year. Kinda like in '09 when Bama beat Florida in the SEC Championship. Deshaun Watson deserved it cuz of his previous 2 years if play.
one of the best games I've seen
Chris Brock
I am a BIG Bama fan and proud of our team. I'm also proud of Clemson. They played a good game. I was glad to see their coach and players give honor to God. We can't win ever game and that's OK. We will be back rolling next year. RTR!!!!
pamela billings I'm not a banana fan or a Clemson fan just a football fan this was up there with the 2005 USC vs Texas game
Chris Brock It would've been good if the officiating wasn't complete garbage.
Damn, no wonder Alabama lost, they have an old short white guy playing defensive end.
idclolidk haha
funny, but in all seriousness, the white part is irrelevant. Black dominance in the game everywhere but QB and kicker and maybe OL is obvious, but someone might want to risk being called racists and begin asking why. There is now and has been throughout modern era too much white talent in the league (albeit, outnumbered) on D to claim a genetic difficulty (JJ Watt, Matthews). Is it cultural? I dunno. I still recall reading a Bobby Bowden interview in SI in fall 1998 where amazingly he was asked if he had a bias in favor of black players at FSU. Even more amazingly, he answered point blank, yes. He claimed it was so due to speed and that they do what they are told without questions and are hungrier. Since white kids might as well not even try to get into "speed" positions these days (long before pros), I'm not sure about how speed can be rated. The only skill positions open to whites are TE, QB. FB is an obsolete position these days due to ease of passing rules. I dunno. Seems odd to me that whites in US are 6.5x more numerous than blacks and make up 20-25% of the league.
don't tell hunter renfrow that, he's white and small. the giant killer!
teller121 QB &OL are the most important positions in football
hardly anymore can be named, however, and it has been going on for many years. It's 10 to 1 or more.
Gracious and respectable. I didn't expect anything less. Clemson is a fine football team. They produced positive plays when they had to. I'm looking forward to the upcoming fall season. Roll Tide Roll!
After that pass interference at the end , I knew it was over . Still a bama fan roll tide
Solar Aully lol
Michael McNair lol
did anyone notice the pass int was NOT in the end zone and therefore should have left Clemson the ball on the 4 1/2 rather than the 2? I looked up that play and was not surprised to hear neither announcer even mention that key point as they ran the penalty call over twice and in slow motion the interference is at about the 1 1/2. The ball should have been half the distance from the nine-yard line. Given that the pick play resulted in Clemson catching it on the goal line and going down two yards in the end zone, it makes you wonder if Swinney would have made that same call if refs (or the booth) had bothered to make the right call. Inexcusable.
teller121 fuck off
so, was it p.i. in the end zone or at the one? you forgot to mention whether I was RIGHT or not. or do you care? I guess not. As long as you can scream (like a little girl), "my team won," it doesn't matter how f'd up the call is and how much it is deliberately ignored (like you just did when faced with a perfectly cogent and critical question) by people paid to notice it. Oh yeh, gfy... scholar.
We gotta remember Bama fans, there is always next year. Clemson had one of a hell of a game and was one of the best national championships I've seen. Hats off to Dabo and Clemson. We got the next year guys, ROLL TIDE ROLL!
Did anyone else notice that the name tags were switched between Saban and the guy on the right?
Your as funny as a cancer patient sharting leukemia
and it looks like Nick doesn't give a shit, but you all do, make a big deal about fucking name tags god people today
beavismcquevis5 jeez I was just pointing it out bro. You don't have to overreact
lmfao if you think that's overreacting, ha
beavismcquevis5 In this context, it is overreacting. It's relative. Doesn't mean you're stabbing people and setting shit on fire. Just means you're reacting more than is called for considering the circumstances. Which are very mild here.
See this is why I love Bama and their Fan Base. I'm a true Clemson fan and I went to both games and they are truly the nicest people. Hats off to y'all Alabama vs Clemson has to be the best two championship games ever.
I'm a Clemson fan. That being said I want to congratulate Alabama. Awesome game! I wouldn't expect anything less from a first class team such as AL. Your Coach and players handled themselves with class and good sportsmanship. I saw an Al player come up to Deshawn during an interview and hug and congratulate him. Awesome! I know how you AL fans feel.....we have been there. I just want to ask anyone out there......have you ever seen such awful refereeing? God bless College Football Fans!
Paula Marshall - Thanks for your words, see you guys next year for best 2 out of 3!
louisville fan here! congrads, clemson. great win for he ACC! ACC RULES!
7000ironman ACC rules what?? Congrats to Clemson class act program great coach with great players. BUT we are still the standard. Win four out of seven ships and win your conference damn near every yr before you start talking about the ACC rules
mike torrance
you wasn't the standard this year...right now, son! right now the ACC rules.
7000ironman Watson won't be there next year
mike torrance
dude, nobody said that. i'm saying right now clemson is the man!....right now.
Oh ok lol.. yes absolutely as of now,today Clemson is the man! Why didn't you just say that instead of ACC rules. No conference rules anymore. SEC really ruled when Bama and auburn were taking turns with the trophy. It's too spread out now all the conferences are good. But you are right Clemson and the ACC are the best as of today .. congrats and RTR
51 wins for the this Senior Class with only 5 losses. The loss hurts but no class of seniors has ever achieved this mark. Bama will be there again next year.
true
baby video
But how do you really know?
John Wills no guarantee that they will. no guarantee that anyone will
John Wills geaux tigers
I'm an Alabama fan. It was sad that we lost but I am happy for Clemson. It was one of the best football games I've seen in a while.
Clemson fan here and so happy for my Tigers. Coach Saban with some class comments here. I've never seen him be on the losing side of a title game before, so I was curious as to how he would react. Classy coach.
anyways saban shows class and i could respect that as a lsu fan
ROLL TIDE TIL I DIE 🌊🐘
Nothing but class from Coach. That is how a gentleman carries himself. He was head coach at U. of Toledo when I was there. Class guy.
I'm a true Clemson fan and very proud of our win, but no one can argue that both of these organizations are world class; teams and coaches. I've listened to both press releases, Dabo's and Nick's, and these guys are great friends and have a lot of respect for each other. My hat is off to Alabama for playing hard and respecting the win. And likewise for the respect that Clemson gave Alabama. I think the football world can learn a lot from both of these organizations.
I couldn't agree more and both high class teams!!
Trust me we will be back #ROLLTIDE
Patunya Brown lol
That's okay, we like making fun of fair weather fans for hanging around us.
Michael Guin lol
Patunya Brown Watch out for FSU
Jafar I'm a bama fan and my dad is a FSU fan so it should be fun next year
He should be pissed they missed two clear as day offensive pass interferences on Clemsons last two tds. I am a Washington huskies fan I don't like Bama at all but respect their talent. However not a single objective observer can say the goaline playa Clemson ran weren't PICK PLAYS. The outside wr basically just blocked and held the cb so he couldn't cover.
Again I'm not upset Bama lost but that's garbage officiating at key moments you can't allow blatant penalties like that more than once especially when it results in a score.
I'm ashamed of the officiating
Jfree55 lol u are upset get over it #gotigers
@Jfree Exactly. I was hoping Nick would mention the clear referee bias but he didn't. Clemson lucked up
and they missed two targeting calls against bama
+jay bee don't take shit away from my team
+jay bee quit hating and be proud it was a fucking fight
You both are a class act. Looking forward to see you both in the NFL.
Great game by both Clemson and Alabama!!! Both have classy coaches and players. Thanks for a great game for the fans!
We will be back.
Put you money on it jmua04
we beat ourselves with stupid penalties. Too bad we lost Scarborough too....might have made the difference.
I'm a bama fan and live in bama this is the first game I have seen almost every bama fan take it so easy with good sportsmanship it was a great game we lost hands down no foul play just a really good game and this year Clemson got us .good job guys ROLL TIDE
Amazing season for the Tide and an amazing game. Congrats to the Tide and Clemson.
Roll tide
roll tide can't win em.all Clemson won it fair and square
Jayce Tierce Besides the 2 picks, yeah.
Jayce Tierce except for the blatant offensive pass interference on the last 2 scoring plays for clemson
You guys don't know the rules. Every team has a pick play! lol. This like Michigan fans not knowing forward progress lol jk. But seriously. Focusing on pick plays is stupid smh. Bama offense went to shit once Bo went down. But Hurt couldn't open up the offense. That's the biggest problem.
Jayce Tierce No they didn't....Lot of bad/missded calls by the officials....U can't win a game when u have to play the other team AND the officials....
I think it's hilarious people blame pick plays hahaha. Every team has that play.
Man, that Jonathan Allen does an uncanny Nick Saban impression... perfection in speech, looks and mannerisms. Bravo!
Nick Saban still a true icon to the game of football
anybody notice the name plates are wrong
Those last few minutes was some Clash of Titans shit
Nothing but respect for Bama and Nick Saban. As a Clemson fan, if we don't win it all next year, I hope Bama does.
Bama yesterday, today and tomorrow.....so very proud of this team!!!!!
Roll Damn Tide
juicek123 lol
Shout out to cousin jalen hurts #hesafreshman
Both teams played like champions, well done all around to both sides' players and coaching staff
Nick Saban is still in my opinion the greatest CFB coach of all time. I know the tide will roll again. ROLL TIDE BABY!! cu next year.
Show some respect to Bear Bryant,he build Alabama. I can tell your mother isn't raising you right
Troy Polamalu #KingTroy#SouthernCal#TrojanLegend 43 yup
Webinator I would like to apologize on his behalf Mr.Bear Bryant,you went from being a little tough country boy from Moro Bottom Arkansas to Alabama Legend.
I remember all your stories from helping your momma sell produce to the fordyce Redbugs, winning Rose Bowls and so much more
ROLL TIDE YOU WATCH US IN 2017-18
i_work_for_nasa y'all say this every year
We playing with anger this year roll tide roll
i_work_for_nasa roll inbred roll!
im a a bama fan
Hurts did horrible, continuous under and over throws that would've made a difference. He's a freshman but again Alabama didn't not see a team as hungry as Clemson this year and it showed on Hurts. Ridley had some crucial drops. Secondary was non-existent. The horrible pass coverage was a primary reason for this loss. Play calling was fucking stupid, almost the same formula each time, short run on first down, 2 incomplete passes on the remaining downs and then punt. Should've let Bo do more. I think Harris should have did more. Clearly the pass was not working. Considering how many times we turned the ball over, and how Clemson converted almost every 2 plays, it should've been a larger deficit. Clemson dominated at the line on both sides. Backers couldn't prevent those short passes that were key to Clemson's drives.
And secondly, one of the greatest contributors to this loss was the fact that THEY WERE NOT TACKLING. WRAP UP FOR FUCK'S SAKE. Yeah they were landing some hits but it doesn't do shit if the ball carrier bounces off and is still on their feet. I just don't get it. These guys were too concerned with trying to land a hard hit or strip the ball, allowing hella yardage after contact. Look at the difference between Clemson's and Alabama's tackling. Count the yards after contact for both teams. Clemson was tackling, Alabama defenders were simply slinging their bodies. I remember one play, one player began to celebrate after his hit while the carrier was still up and running behind him. If that doesn't change then I don't know.
I could point out more but I won't. It's really a miracle how Clemson didn't take the lead until the last quarter. But I will say this. No one here should complain about penalties. I saw clear penalties on AU that weren't called. I'd rather my team win fair and square with no excuses so I wish they had called then. I'm not the guy that will try to play out a drop just cause it was on our side of the ball. If we didn't catch it, we didn't catch it. If you rely on officiating to be in your favor, than you aren't confident in your skills to play the game the right way and come out on top. And contrary to what Saban and most coaches say, they do believe one play can make the difference.
One penalty, good or bad, can change the outcome of the game. But whining about officiating is the dumbest thing ever because there's no way that it favors one side entirely.
Nolan Mattingly nick loves his man coverage the secondary killed bama!
Sean Cory I think both man and zone have their perks, but you have to have the right athletes to execute. 8 times out of 10, Clemson was able to make a play on the ball. The other 2 times Alabama got a damn PI. I just don't know.
Kirby leaves, kiffin is out, your Heisman RB goes to the NFL. I think it was only a matter of time before the change in dynamics would come to fruition. I was so angry when I heard lane wasn't coaching. Like wtf. Who does that.
I even stated if Clemson could win, this would be the game, with Alabama having a big change in coaching, true freshmen QB, AND with the experience and zeal they gained from last year. But it didn't have to be this way.
Nolan Mattingly yeah im still wondering what saban was thinking when he relieved kiffin of his duties before a title game,and hurts in my opinion needs more help on the outside ie another julio Jones type wr ridley has his moments but is not dominate,and Nick needs to get better corners every season they're the weakest link on defense fo bama!
secondary looked amazing until... the D was left out on the field too long and they could tell that Hurts was clueless and he would provide them no help going down the stretch. Normal fatigue can turn into debilitating fatigue due to emotional stress. The D KNEW they had a freak situation on their hands: one team with a freak QB who, along with the entire NFL receiver corps he had, were determined to play to the very end to the very best of their ability... vs.... Hurts and offensive play calling Keystone Cops routine. The outcome was unfair to Bama D and the fans. Thanks, Lane. We should've known.
I'm proud of you guys, you'll always be #1, "ROLL TIDE ROLL"
I'm really surprised and happy that Alabama is being fair about the loss and that everyone is being a good sport. Congratulations to both Alabama and Clemson for both two great seasons.
Clemson champs revenge sooo sweet bk to the woods Bama
Um Clemson is country too...smh
KJ hustle guy 😂😂😂 Clemson is south Carolina. iss the same thing

That's an awful small defensive lineman, and Nick Saban is suddenly black!
I thought I was the only one to notice that.

Gabriel Kertesz you tube
So proud of Alabama's class and dignity, and thanks to them for such an entertaining, terrific season. Congrats to Clemson. RTR!
That was what a championship game should look like. As a lifelong Bama fan, I'd obviously have preferred a different outcome but as a football fan, I couldn't have asked for much more. Congrats to Clemson, well fought. And congrats to Bama on a great season, already looking forward to next season.
I bet Lane Kiffin is probably laughing his ass off
Saban and Alabama have now lost 3 bowl games in the past 4 years. Oklahoma smoked them in the 2013 Sugar Bowl which was a 2nd straight loss because Auburn beat them in the Kick 6 game the game before. They lost their bowl game the next year to Ohio State. Won the title in 2015 and lost again this year to Clemson.
In the past 4 years that GREAT Bammer defense gave up 34 to Auburn in the kick 6 game. The next game were beat AGAIN by Oklahoma giving up 34 again. The next bowl game they lost AGAIN giving up 42 to Ohio St. The next year they beat Clemson but gave up 40. And this year lose AGAIN in a bowl giving up 35 to Clemson.
And thats not even talking about the points Johnny Manziel put on them when he beat them, Ole Miss beat them 2 yrs in a row putting up a ton of points. Even when Bammer wins they give up 44 points and 660 yards to Auburn in 2014 and gave up 40 points and nearly 600 yards last year beating Clemson.
The bottom line is Alabama shuts out Arkansas, Miss St., Florida, etc. because those teams dont have great offenses. But Saban's bugaboo has ALWAYS been a dual threat QB that can run but also take the top off his secondary. Just look back at who beats him (Tebow, Stephen Garcia, Cam Newton, Johnny Manziel, Nick Marshall, Chad Kelly, Trevor Knight, Cardell Jones and Deshaun Watson) Everyone in the media and all the Bammer's said "we have the best defense in history this year.) We stop the run and pass. Dual threat QB's cant beat us now. Well, one did last night!!! And when it came down to the last play and YOUR BEST DEFENSE IN HISTORY had to make 1 fucking stop to win a national title, they COULDN'T!!!! So what did that BEST DEFENSE EVER get ya'll in the end? NOT A DAMN THING!!! It got ya'll Bammer's on here crying to TH-cam is all it got ya'll. 😂😂😂 Roll Tears Roll
Bill Gibbons Yeah but him losing in a major bowl is better than all the other teams who don't make it to a major bowl or playoff and lose. Just cause Saban loses on the big stage doesn't make him any less of a coach. All the Alabama haters love to come out when we lose a major bowl game by a single possession but don't say anything when we winning 26 straight games and winning 4 championships in 7 years. Alabama is still a great team and even though we lost to the better Clemson team this takes nothing away from Coach Saban or these players
Bill Gibbons Alabama also have won 3 bowl games in the last 4 years...whats your team record?
It's 2020, Bama has one of the best recruiting next to Ohio State. I love the determination that Nick Saban has, he is the kind of coach you want that drives you as a player to be your best self - no matter what. With that kind of coaching, it makes you a be person. Life coach!
that was the hardest win as a clemson fan I have ever seen. I think it was equally frustrating and exciting to watch from both teams till the very end. I hope Clemson maintains the direction of the dynasty team bama has
*Blame it all on Steve*
*Lane would've made a difference*
Sark did fine. He did the best he could with what he had. We lost Bo, which was huge and Hurts just didn't play well.
Prince Tae brother
accountnumber90 He did fine , but kiffin could do better
I really don't see how.
1. change the way Bama runs the offense. running quarter backs seldom have succes as a winning formula.
2. have to control the emotional penalties. ie, the personal fouls.
3. double team the mismatch.
4. saying this from my armchair.
roll tide! let's get em next year!
Few things bring me more joy as a buckeye fan than seeing Nick Saban explain how he lost... and the look on his face :,). Almost worth losing 31-0... almost...
Great game Alabama. Your team really is something special. Hopefully we can have a Best of 3 game next year! Go Tigers!
ROLL TEARS ROLL!!
Conner Gentry nah, not so much. Lost to a good team coached by an Alabama alum. I could think of worse to lose to. NC titles 4 out of last 8 years... I'll hold my tears.
Conner Gentry if we beat everyone we would have no one to play with. 16 National Championships, we not crying. Still SEC Champs.
sldeyo first of all its 15 National Champions, and 3 of those are not recognized by the NCAA, look it up.
Lance Goins 16.
Webinator if you did your research, the NCAA on recognizes 12 of them, that other shit is by University, if your counting University then Alabama don't have the most National Championships, Princeton University does with 26 and Yale is second place with 18, so University doesn't count, only the ones the NCAA recognizes counts.
i dont watch football but if bama won, they would be aw this and well that, we beat you here and you couldnt do this or that, trash talking would be all over. i know pride and haughtiness, and bama had it needed to be knocked down. if they dont loose another one, they lost the MAIN ONE!!!
Love this guy..
Congrats Clemson we as bama nation did our job what a wonderful season were be back roll tide
roll tears roll

He's a very honorable man
Goodbye nick SATIN 😀😀
Thanked Cobra He aint goin no where fam.
Lane Kiffin was definitely missed. The play calling was the difference. 11, 3 and outs. Coach finally made a mistake. Play calling was too safe. Defense on the field almost 10 more mins than Clemson
In My Opinion Sports yeah it would have been the same game plan. We lost... moving on.
Jason H No we wouldn't have. How many times have we had eleven 3 and outs? 2-15 on 3rd down? Saban made a mistake changing coordinators for the last game. No matter what happened in the game on both sides of the ball, the offense played too safe. No way around that.
In My Opinion Sports apparently you didn't see the offensive play calling in the Washington game.
It wasn't the play calling, losing Bo hurt big time and Jalens lack of ability to throw it accurately cost us drives. I would of rather had Sark than Kiffin in this one. Also, tough to stop any offense when they run 99 plays, don't care how good your defense is.
Matt Hart Lane took a running back Sims, Wildman Coker, and a true Freshman Hurts, all the way to the playoffs so it was definitely play calling. Everything was too safe. Lane would have been more aggressive and calling plays that made people scratch their head. He was a way of calmimg and settling Jalen down. He wouldn't have over utilized Bo too early since he is prone to injuries. We needed to allow our defense to rest and we didn't. Sure he missed some throws but there seemed to be a lot of miscommunication going on. That happens when you change coordinators before the biggest game of the season. 14-0 with Lane, 0-1 with, Sarkisian with only a week to prepare. I hate to say it but Nick made a mistake and put his team at a disadvantage. We have great players and a great defense, but we needed unpredictability to have the edge. Last night we didn't have that. We let them wear us down by playing it safe. Last year we took more risks so Henry could close out the game. Even so, I'm proud of Alabama and hope they come back strong with a full off season to prepare. I'm going to miss our upperclassmen. Roll Tide!!!
We had a great season and I feel for the Seniors. Heartbreaking. We'll get 'em next year boys! ROLL TIDE!
Congrats on a great win Clemson there were a lot calls that went your way but there were some calls that went our way mark my word we're going to ALANTA next year!
KjGamer33 ...Good luck Clemson but now you will be the hunted. Every year you will have 3 to 5 underclassman go pro. Watson will be gone and Evans Gauhman ? if not a senior will declare early. You coaching staff will be picked over by schools looking for coaches like road kill is to a buzzard.
That is what Alabama has been dealing with since 2009 plus lose your O/C days before a championship and see if you all come within a second of winning your 5th national title in 9 years. He might but we will see.
Hurts can`t throw the ball and Clemson exploited that. Clemson had zero respect for Bamas passing game and that killed the Tide.
Bill M , Bo injury is what really killed bama, & they defense killed them
Clemson was down all game! not to mention Hurts made that last TD to give bama the lead
mawaki C Doesn't matter who has the lead during the game, it just matters who has it higher when the clock hits 0:00. Anyways you guys fought hard, hats off to BAMA for going to the end.
IdoesRagequit time out...clarification I'm not a bama fan...but these quote on quote bama fans blaming hurts for the lost and that ain't on him he put bama back in the game..
Without the help of the refs and a bunch of pick plays, we would gotten our asses handed to us again.- Clemson
jay bee 5 point lost last year was "getting our asses kicked" Bama should have had two targeting calls and a hilding on one touchdown and several PI's. just get over.
We got lucky

+Jay bee, You bitch bro, acting like a female

Thanks to both teams. You gave America one of the best Championship games in a long time.
Proud for Dabo and Deshaun, one of the best QBs of our time. Great game, well fought. I do think Alabama will be back next year.
Yea we win, Clemson is so much better than Alabama! The game really wasn't as close as the score. Two fumbles and a freebie to Howard. Bama sucks booooo. Hahahahahaha
10bigrob10 you say that now
10bigrob10 yall have D. Watson now. Hes leaving yall wont be back for awhile. Bama will always be relevant you troll. Lmao Roll Tide
scored 14 points off illegal pick plays. shoulda been 21-31.
He just another bama hater...
This makes no sense
Love him or hate him, but with 4 national championships with Alabama alone, no one can deny him as one of the best coaches in college football history.
Alabama will always and forever be my favorite football team.
Bama squad where you at🐘🐘🐘We'll get them next year! Roll tide Roll. Keep rollin
Mike Williams made himself a top 15 pick in that game. What a great performance he put on.
I just wanna say Roll Tide!!! Are team has played their hearts out and I feel so sorry for the seniors who have to go out with that close of a game, But Bama is still #1 to us Fans and I know The Dynasty is not over just because we lost one game!!! As long as Saban is at Alabama we will be at the top of College Football
roll tide for life. hats off to clemson they earned it. played a damn good game. cant wait for September!!!!
I,am a LSU fan way to go Clemson Tigers !
yes, they did the same thing to you five or six years ago due to same reason: questionable coaching and a third rate QB. I can still see that 4th and 16 or 4th and 19 that would have ended it. that game launched this Clemson program. Thanks, les.
Still shook up about your coach getting fired due to consistent ass whoopings from Bama, eh? LoL
Urban'''i gave Bammie a HEART ATTACK in the 2015 beatdown'''Meyer,

saban doesn't make excuses, I love it
REGARDLESS, WE LOVE THE ALABAMA CRIMSON TIDE FOREVER!!! AFTER ALL THERE IS ALWAYS TOMORROW!!! COACH SABAN HAS PROVED THE KIND OF DECENT, RESPECTABLE MAN HE IS!! THAT IS ONE REASON HIS PLAYER'S LOVE AND RESPECT HIM!!! NICK SABAN. IS A CLASS ACT AND WE LOVE HIM AND HIS FAMILY AND PLAYERS!!!!! LINDA AND GRAHAM MCKNIGHT AND FAMILY. ROLL TIDE FOREVER!!!!
Class Act by Coach Saban. Clemson was the better team. GO TIGERS!!!
Wow congrats to Clemson, was surprised to see this outcome .
as a south Carolina fan, I'm glad Clemson won. dabbo has put together a great program, hopefully muschamp can follow and make us great again.
That loss hurts but hats off to CLEMSON. Congrats and enjoy it was well earned and deserved
Saban is truly class.
I'm impressed by my fellow Alabama fans for not hating on Clemson. Hats off to Clemson, their receivers made some AMAZING catches on the home stretch. The "pick" that got the guy open at the end of the game was a little bit questionable, but we didn't lose the game on just one play. Having Bo Scarborough hurt really hurt the offense. We couldn't use the run to set up the pass or wear their defensive line down. Our defense were gassed, poor guys couldn't get off the field. Overall, for entertainment purposes this was an amazing game, David beat Goliath. Great story for college football even though I am on the losing side of it, I can respect it for the great story that it is.
Even in defeat, Alabama fans, coaching staff, and players are nothing but class. Congrats to Clemson
Oh please it took Saban six minutes into the press conference to give any real credit to Clemson. It's like he's allergic to giving credit to other teams.
John Castillo The man just lost a national championship. He doesnt have to be all sunshine and rainbows. Fuck off
You fuck off he's ALWAYS like that. Acting like bama has class... that's a fucking joke.
John Castillo No, you are the joke
Ok sweet pea
I think one thing everybody can agree on is that there is a lot of great teams in the south.
You are still #1 to me!!
this was a tremendous game by both teams. the biggest difference here was the fact that Alabama couldn't keep their offense on the field long enough to give their defense a break. when you go something like 2/15 on third down conversions, that alone will tire any defense out. now match that with a championship team like Clemson, it speaks miles about the Bama defense to hang in and help bring this game down to the wire like they did. this was a hard fought game for both, clearly. at the end of the day someone had to lose, and the better team inched itself ahead. both teams should be proud of how far they've come. gg clemson, hopefully there can be ANOTHER rematch next season. Roll Tide!
RTR!!! Great win for Clemson I'm very happy for Dabo and Watson. Two class act guys who deserve this 'ship. Bama nation hold your heads up high we played a great game we just fell short. No excuses because we had our opportunities to close the game. We had a young qb he did his best but he wasn't ready. I'm sure that arm and his accuracy will be better next year. Our defense stayed on the field and that ultimately was our demise. Mike s an NFL WR and he showed that last night so let's not crucify our secondary because those guys are great. Bottom line the more complete team won and they deserved it. RTR
Respect
And people thought Alabama could beat an NFL team... Get that Crap outta here!!!
Conner Gentry Look at everyone else's comments and then look at yours. No one else is talking smack man
He can't help himself. It's been like 40 years since his team has won anything, LoL.
Alabama is still the greatest college football program of all time by a long shot I was pulling for you guys to win I'm for the SEC all the way GO BIG BLUE!!!
