This just made up for the whole crappy playoff football weekend. Wow.

Sick as a dog and wanted to be in bed an hour ago, so glad I stayed up for that

Didn't see a Bama player for about 10 yards. They had no idea short kick was coming.

When people look at me puzzled at work as to why I love college ball, this is something I can refer them to.

I don't watch that much college football but this Clemson teams seems like a classy bunch. Winning like they've been there.

There were 2 guys within a yard or 2. Certainly unexpected, but they had time to react and thought it hadn't made 10 yards

4:20 game though is beyond absurd. The last two bowl games were more than 9 hours combined.

They clearly weren't expecting it, but they would also have to have thier knees down while grabbing the ball, or else the clock runs out.

But there was also 6-7 Clemson players to block those two players from getting to the ball.

Yes there were definitely two Alabama guys there but they were both boxed out by the Clemson players.

The dragon is slayed. Good.

There will be a few other teams on the landscape next year too...Bamas reign may well be over.

Yeah but I would've watched that rose bowl even if it was 9 hours long all by itself. Total classic. And this one was great too.

I seem to remember another important pick play that happened in the state of Florida.

These terrible booth reviews certainly didn't help. Luckily the commentators were complaining about them constantly, so hopefully helps push officials away from keeping this practice of reviewing everything.

We can only hope so, but Saban and the Alabama program have so much clout they'll be able to keep recruiting top talent. They might not be the powerhouse anymore, but still be a top 10 team (sadly) for the foreseeable future.

Cecil you're killing me. That's exactly what I thought when I saw that play.

I don't understand why basketball and football fans tolerate so many stoppages of play in their sports. I understand why leagues love the breaks for advertising dollars, but I don't understand why fans don't revolt.

How long was the game again...

What a classic. Some big catches at the end.
