For the second straight year Alabama faced Clemson in the College Football National Championship Game, and somehow the sequel was maybe even better than last year’s classic that saw Alabama triumph 45-40.
After Alabama quickly marched down the field to retake a 31-28 lead with over 2 minutes remaining, Clemson was able to return the favor to win the game when Deshaun Watson completed a 2-yard touchdown pass to slot receiver Hunter Renfrow with a single second left on the clock.
This game had everything you could want in a national championship game, including Nick Saban losing. The Clemson Tigers are the new champions of college football, and below are all the dramatic photos from the instant classic, courtesy of Getty Images.
