was AJ Terrell the sophomore corner and venimos defense gets him off the field three Anapa he is fired up because of the way his defense played his serve down he goes with so instead of man Lau's his defensive backs in his linebackers to keep their eyes on a quick truck either that probably expected to be playing here tonight by Xavier Thomas what a play by Thomas I mean that's an explosive defensive end who they think is gonna [Applause] fourth the tank in town and scramble they can't get away Austin Bryan ran him down from behind bring their starters back Austin Bryan beats two got me

he's one of the best young people I've ever been around I love and care about him I wish him nothing but the best and again sad that he has made this decision and you know all I can say is another program where everywhere every decisis goes don't get a quality quarterback and a very quality young man and we appreciate everything that Kelly gave to this program while he was here he's a graduate and like I said just he's one of the best young people you could ever be around and as a coach sometimes you have to make the tough decisions that are in the best interests of the team and and this is one of those decisions and and I would make it all over again because I believe that it's what's right for our team at the end of the day it is what it is love Kelly I wish him all the best again I appreciate everything he's done for this university this team and respect his decision and wish him all the best so as far as us and our team take what we got and get back to work and see if we can

guys we're down to three give it to the professor [Music] just tripped up they're touchdown [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Music] the game everyone knew that you know they weren't that much better than that's not better than snow at all first down for Clemson [Applause] and they're still running with the ones yeah it's still throwing the ball I want to put some more points on the board one chance twice a year to play a rival and it's only 60 minutes and minute on that clock [Music] the game these Tigers [Applause] the staff at the front of the 15 and they snap it right away [Applause] [Music] touchdown [Applause] it's double nickel time nights the second ranked Tigers [Music] Tayloe is interesting before that play watching two coaches to say let's go gets the violets go they want which is libel man they wanted a score you know at the top of the mountain that klutzy flag is flying okay they're cycling out we're cycling in that's a big part of the fear of the tiger they put me out to pasture we can do this a few more times what's in the winning funds in the winning man and to celebrate this rivalry there's a lot of robberies out there this is more of a domination road state champion our guys have never been to us sit down boys a long way my kids grandkids won't live long enough to never see this really become a robbery set points when you state championship by three touchdowns it's all good it's all good so she already won you won January November so plate y'all did great that sweet then runs into [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] there's a reason why we've won two out of last three national championships and it's not because we don't play anybody [Music] [Music] the national championship two years ago once chase price uses eyes to look up the safety in the cut back the Higgins [Music] looking for the sideline [Music] there is your first pitch and half the season and it's mostly just said you have a quarterback at Pickett who's still growing and trying to get comfortable from the pocket against this defense that likes to confuse the quarterback you can almost feel - oh sure and just simply throwing it out into the flat where Tyrell ends up making the play [Music] it has to be sobering for a Florida State offensively when you are two and three one sees depth chart they are still dominating align extremity [Music] seventy yards for the score Tremayne FAT FAT FAT okay here's the funny to Rogers and retreats to the 40 [Music] touchdown [Music] you'd see that [Music] Rogers [Music] a lot to talk about honey next contacts his dad 27-7 Tigers nice job here listen to shout out of wood two hearts on the sack that was Trayvon Oh [Music] with a second packages sometime okay with this speed we also have to deal with Austin Brian so let's give you the easiest question first do you believe your alma mater at Clemson right now has put together a dynasty for sure I mean the things that Coach Sweeney is bringing to that University the recruits that's coming in the the things they're doing on the field each and every year I mean it's one of the top if not the best program in the country [Music] [Music] number 41 three there's the first best by the safety Cisco and gonna block all the way down against the receiver [Music] to the front [Music] those are just mismatches who can say [Music] two hours and he's the first one out there running Hunter Wow it's a big block he was just blank quarterback Bo locks it up to the catch may wasn't in [Music] yes and it's the standard for Julie in the line in coverage again not tape on actually got a hand on this ball he knocks it up in the air unfortunately it goes up in the air not to the ground and Higgins is able to snag it does he get one foot in with possession unbelievable concentration near the redzone [Music] [Music] Justin touchdown [Music] doing that freshman thing true freshmen to true freshmen Lawrence to Ross cash it in 53 on one thing to play in a few national championships it's a whole other thing to be winning them and you decided to go back to Clemson for the opportunity to win another national championship for your senior year you could have gone to the draft you decide to go back a lot of that's your relationship with DuBose Sweeney Inventables but now that you look back on that decision how much does it mean to the way it turned out for me yeah just looking back it definitely was a great decision my slope you know you know what back then accomplished everything I wanted to accomplish got better with my play on the field also just you know just won national championship like you said got my second one it was a great year had a lot of fun got closer with my teammates I just continue to make comes in a better place so now that was definitely awesome never been a college football player quite like William Perry 330 some pounds they called him the human refrigerator but the big kid could play recording at all-time ACC mark four career sacks and tackles behind the line of scrimmage perry the only clemson player to receive all-american accolades three different seasons first of all the reality of first [Applause] mr. green party [Applause] the first refrigerator to store [Music] damos rainy in his tent full season as head coach took over as it they're in there chief Oh jumbo goal-line set right now that means Dexter Laurence and Christian Wilkins they're two starting defensive tackles are yes walking back I would presume you would say God loves it Lordships ow the CT place give it opens that is tough to stop that's the fridge coming right at you Christian we'll get the lines up in the eye and he comes down him oh no it's not the British the British was Dexter Lawrence he was the full bath that was right in front of Christian Wilkins you have never seen the college football 700 pounds nearly in the backfield never and Lord that she doesn't anybody hit these running sports elite through the landing wow that is awesome man big guys dream I their third second ago and in times the jumbo package Jamaicans a possibility to hand it off to look at this food got 5173 fifties the interesting this is what gets interesting [Applause] butoh the refrigerators Terry there's a getting the end zone for clips it is a mountain of a man six pool 350 plus another future first round [Music] the scores this time they give it to the fullback nothing better than seeing the pain uglies up front finding a way to get into the endzone think of the big diving fellas are coming in Kristy Wilkins and Dexter Lawrence each have scored touchdowns on short runs this year and short ones you wonder because it's getting so much attention if they go with a little bit of a wrinkle here and use it and maybe in a play-action type of way it's gotten a lot of attention with these guys running the ball behind wilkins at tailback has excellent hands it is playoffs and Analia throat up the middle in easy pitch and catch violin Richards a fourth down touchdown and the Tigers reclaim the lead it just has gotten so much attention they look at BC attacking it anticipating that they're gonna run with the big fellas great job of being ahead of that by thinking ahead by the offensive staff Tony Elliot Jeff Scott the fell off the subordinators court big time that was the excitement from the crowd Dexter Lawrence and Christian Wilkins are in their fridge package Davo says you touchdown the Christian workers will not be denied of a secular chest of children let him show is that lettuce choose to come back so what does that say about Clemson as a whole in your mind I mean I just it's a speech to the type of players that we bring in the type of guys that we bring in and speaks to the type of culture that you have death you know what I mean I talked to a couple people about this and one of the big reasons why we were okay with coming back is I'm sure both of you have seen juniors declare early and you're like why would they do that you know you don't really understand for a lot of guys the schools that they're at you know they don't really like being there unless this football season but for Clemson you know it's the type of atmosphere to where you can beat a year-round and you'll enjoy yourself if you if you've really enjoyed this the college experience and that's what this is about Clemson not just the football but the people the food the food yeah don't let that for you the the the culture that were places where we're living go out on the lake you know I'm two hours from Atlanta might want to go to if you want to go to the city I mean it's a great place to be a you know just to just to have a good time as a young person so that that was a great comfort it's like you're not going back to school I decided to come back home that's kind of what it would dexter Lawrence want a matchup with Eric McCoy watch him in the middle and watch the push even when you don't get a sack you can affect the quarterback my man is healthy this year and dominant players first defensive series and now the backup comes in their immediate pressure Kendall Joseph came on the Blitz and knocked him down this brought the Blitz there they've been bringing those linebackers a lot at this time Joseph just comes clean right up the middle surprise there's a first Tigers bring abandoned ticket back it's tre Lamar because the linebacker position we're down now they get aggressive all the time on third down that's just who they are that's both their linebackers Joseph and here's the marha winds up putting the pressure on picket and you better have more than one cutback for choice choice into the end zone with another Clemson touchdown [Applause] the pocket bishop [Applause] sighs backwards cannon use the free safety will drop [Music] offense starts in my opinion to net with et and he's the guy that can lead this team and take the pressure off the quarterback position or ensure the fake up the middle bestir touchdown Tigers [Applause] middle that offensive line the concern of the growth the pocket collapsing he goes down its Alfred plugins [Music] as well here here it is the backups come in this backups play anyone heard down pressure and in trouble is Dexter Williams drop behind the line of scrimmage a host of Tigers they're led by Austin front another all-american on that defensive line Xavier Thomas who's the next great but watch him set the edge of the defense he has contained he's not gonna let Dexter Williams get outside forces him back inside to Austin Bryan Lawrence into the end zone with a touchdown the football it's gonna set up a lot of play action - you fight speed iggins of future stalling outside of the slam flexing our feet that's not when is the fall arrived by Savior Thomas the freshmen leaving his mark against the tough senior whose slow to get up and choice remains the runningback [Music] flexin you just throw it up Justin Ross a freshman wide receiver rangy and Trevor Lawrence knows throw it up that signal coverage give a chance to make a play on a fifth the ball Jesse Rosco at the pocket park now hard they still play you said your Kelly you just can't fake a love of competition you know and this is a beauty when you play 58 guys a week ago right I mean this is that everybody gets to be involved it is paying it off yeah sometimes you just know just I just really felt like this is the guy it was just a matter of open process and making sure I still felt like that after I did that and once I did I was even strong more strong in my conviction that brent was the guy and that's why I was gonna reason I was going wait until I flew home I was I was actually literally taking off and I was gonna wait till I got home and call him but I called him though probably 2,000 feet there and I said hey I may cut off here but are you ready to be a tiger and then we continued that conversation later but I was I was jacked up I didn't want to wait I knew then this is the direction it's just kind of been confirmed over and over and over since that time [Music] with the touchdown [Applause] [Music] just intercepted [Applause] for the third year he is intercepted a pass against NC State he's trying to bring this ones back to the enzyme [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] a little bit high Terrell gets the deflection and Kavon Wallace who really emerged in this North Carolina state last year became a starter because of some injuries in the back end and has played at a very high level ever since then comes up with the pick it sets up another scoring opportunity minute is affecting book more ANSI than usual his turn what's the blockers and pick at the 44-yard line [Applause] [Music] Turner is the Safety's gonna be sitting right in here it's only a three-man rush this time until they're dropping eight they don't pressure they play so and Nolan Turner sitting in the safety spot with eyes on the quarterback to try to pressure [Music] [Applause] [Music] 25 huge play he has very good protection it's max but protection but his receiver Butler third and 12 Hartman fell right in his face [Music] you if cleanliness rest [Music] Portland's grilled girls been a problem rolls inside goes right over the center Anderson doesn't pick them up forces Bartman to throw this ball off out has two catches for 13 yards Finley deep in a trap [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] you don't normally like this into the middle of the field but this is what North Carolina State dodge they throw to their big receivers and say win that time Clemson one beautiful play by Samuel and Clemson has the football back to the sideline stays inbounds and returns it [Applause] you see holder what says you just rose like a concealed the face the Rangers the buddies the best friends Russia Wilkins democracy that's Earl or excuse me right into the grill and inside the ten-yard line [Applause] [Music] second finger today the question [Music] [Applause] it was probably a 10 second conversation literally 10 seconds yet they offer me the job babe I love you I'll see you a little bit weeks and just you know all his emotions had built up so it was it was emotional but I was real excited for I'm very proud of him he's worked so hard and um and I was just I'm just very

pleasure Lawrence just yours touchdown Tigers [Applause] [Music] finally got some room bet that's why this young man playing quarterback for Clemson [Music] really nice job he looks it out it's got trips on the right side and just reads it this man piggies touchdown Tigers see Higgins is an elite talent six four to ten long and he goes up and gets a football simple run-pass option ball put on the money by Trevor Lawrence out in front where he can finish running with the ball and he fights into the endzone [Music] making tracks Tiger boss touchdown [Music] that's their tenth touchdown of the day and we've got a porter to play [Music] five yards on that one prediction [Music] he is the CM I guess because this football game is done thanks to the endzone for the touchdown [Music] TJ chase [Applause] [Music] the backup gets a chance to throw his second touchdown pass of the season [Music] legend continues to roll over Florida State we understand Christian does this with every single touchdown but it never gets in [Music] wide receiver where does he go [Music] what you see there you you are not on the rest of y'all bus no I don't I don't care what kind of Halloween costume

we're in that group the rest of y'all now the Tigers trying to add to the lead Lawrence for the answer just write down they make the Panthers fade decades for the second time tonight I put the little the little marker on Higgins because if I'm a quarterback and I got 29 seconds to go and I see one-on-one coverage with my guy I'm gonna go to it all day nice job of reading it it's an RPO the safety came up made it easy throw for Trevor Lawrence Tootie Higgins so Higgins two catches boat touchdowns and that is a devastating blow for a panther team that quickly fell down 14 got back with info but the turnover sets up the touchdown and the lead is 1888 off to the races his second touchdown of the afternoon there is this breakaway speed that we've heard about each team going to the boundary this is hard it's not space over here picks up a great block on the outside edge and I said it earlier he's so tractable blow right by you dynamic playmaker just a true freshman an explosive electric [Music] [Applause] answer the chip ball is there 40 seconds since out the defender and he's gonna seven yard touchdown Vijay Westbrook is doing all he can he's perfectly thrown ball then that's allowed Higgins to extend those wall dogs those monster hands to put seven on board pistol now and boy it's buried by Cleveland swirl the tent Hendrix Award winner as the top defensive end in the

brought the Bliss with Simmons and Joseph forced him to throw this football short of the first down Sweeney catches at two yards short final play of the third quarter to flea-flicker and who's gonna be stopped just short of the goal on it's trickery to end the third period and they brought a corner blitz with Jackson which meant the safety had one-on-one coverage and Briggs was late to respond you see how Ross kind of slow plated showed like he was gonna block Briggs fell for it and then watch him in the background he goes right behind him and Lawrence getting all that pressure from the corner blitz puts it up in the air for that night pledge so gloves him on the doorstep when the final period starts back after this message and a word from your local ABC station search doesn't have

where there they take pride in physical toughness and finishing and I'll say what we feel like we know what we got [Music] and the second keeper [Applause] Farrell was there quickly it'll be third law he's reading clean Farrell here and he mistreats this right here I think he felt that he was going out but he actually comes down watch the body language in 99 looks like he gives him a little bit of an outside look which made him pull the ball by keeping it Farrell's there to make the play [Applause] LinkedIn cut down to 45 Trayvon Mullin and a loss of one writers threatening again and Lawrence has a clean pocket Simpson across Renfro makes a cut stutters Duncan settle our fight lead graphic down at the five red throw so many short catches makes a big play down food cutter Renfro who's as

[Applause] [Music] [Laughter] Leland Farrow leading the charge against Kate Kearney he appears to be short it's a good job by Pharrell and they get they're still short bet it's definitely going to be sure down to the end of his attack ler that six foot six he could scoop they can also make guys miss when he can cover a lot of ground at six six and once he builds up in speed he's really a threat and I think he'd swear he's really developed is understanding with the primary receiver is not there the second options not there instead of waiting and waiting he's such a good athlete you gotta take off they've got guys it would be starting a lot of plates there comes a blitz after book he stands in the Hat they get rid of it quickly too far Armstrong Simmons thought he took the ball away but the official flow the play dead at the 39 yard line well short of the first down by about ten yards he wants every flight they really played well today well school he does rip the ball out is there any do they call forward progress he's come down to the ground but this is a great play by Simmons ripping the ball out might be another one of those excruciating developments or the Fighting Irish Brent Venables advance the button but it certainly looks like he got possession of the football work and play on this Clinton squad right now doing work against Louisville and there's a guy we just talked about the ball came out but it's ruled down Wilkins there to sack the quarterback to on fast [Applause] go back in the 28 before the court back slinging a hot one they brought blitz they lead there

of their screen game which had been very good this was beautiful and watch the little limp leg move by traffic CTA urges and there's that first that explosiveness that he has at sprinter speed [Music] hey each and every bullet on it Jack Smith with break it up to make the tackle 53:5 get it on the plane and the ball pops up [Applause] here comes the pressure and gets the sack and flexion takes over that's the fifth sack of the ball game and Farrell tough out there at all coming off of that edge he's ferocious this time here just beating the tight-end man at the point of attack was trying to squirt out in the backside of that pocket but these guys are big they're on Lenny [Applause] [Music] why back to the 32 isaiah simmons is really an outstanding athlete [Applause] [Music] gonna go to jared garter [Music] very end when Wallace was able to knock it away to cave on walls this is gonna be a catch Steve if he doesn't see the arm down he's a good runner and he get there [Music]

by Trevor Lawrence who seen it make the throws within the pocket you see him outside the numbers bacon throws on the move packagers first out give it to Garrett Williams the full-back and he's infinite such news for Street touchdowns on four consecutive possessions more fun the party and all miss Marchant today was going to be so slammed this would be 52 so they're not gonna try and feel go bump on his back foot another jump [Applause] a former safety now a linebacker running with the leading wide receiver for Notre Dame in coverage they thought they would have a matchup that favored them it sounds right miles Boykin going against a linebacker but this is no ordinary linebacker this is a guy as you mentioned played safety he's six foot four he runs a 4-3 he's got extremely long arms and he makes a beautiful play to knock that fourth down pass away when we met whether they say a 72 that you almost feel inadequate because [Music] [Applause] go set back at the 19-yard line katie.davis the first one to get there he got the start today for Kendall Joseph and good pressure from trailer balls 37 bucks down to the ribs on last season's best of the conference water pastor over I'll start the clock now Trevor Lawrence's first touchdown pass of his career he's got a long way to go to match - like ties Boyd and this Shawn Watson just weeks now it's a productive claim can

Clemson [Music] Dino Babers told Holly Rowe have enough explosive players on the Clemson sideline to win step fine defensive play with Denzel Johnson I thought enhanced our burger for a second Johnson closed quickly twice he responded so quickly to this usually you're concerned about number eight trying to throw the ball over top of him not to safety breaking on his fall on second of ten la Rana slips to throw the far sideline slide and catch made by Higgins back shoulder throw in an acrobatic grab at the 41st now Jeff Scott whose works as a co-offensive coordinator works on the wide

accomplishment by this team and you know just again as I said last night just so happy that we have the opportunity and the blessing to experience such a such a great moment and kind of unique today's January the 8th and we're hearing obviously the San Francisco Bay Area and it's Dwight Clark's birthday and Dwight Clark was a Clemson Tiger and you know I just think that it's pretty neat that we're here this morning as the national champions here and got a just got a fate that he's he's smiling down on us out [Music] [Applause] one timeout for Clemson prevent defense here for Notre Dame a three-man rush and Stellan open man and it's Renfro who got walloped but he's deep in a Notre Dame territory now and Dabo sweetie will call the timeout we do not and that's all who's gonna be dropped short and it's another report down as the pumps & backup starting to get their uniforms dirty now Logan Rudolph right back here watch him chases from behind cuts it across midfield for the first time tonight here's why that's us exactly what Clemson needed the true freshman showing blitz instead of three-man rush ceptin fields he read it from the get-go and would have had a pick six had great anticipation he was in a cover to look on the outside edge as he walked around [Applause] Marcel throws it up and incomplete of the 35-yard line no flags on the play AJ Terrell right at the scene in Stratos Ross that's so freshman and getting tracked down inside the Florida State 25-yard line I was a beautiful little flow option there you run on first down you suck up the linebackers and safeties it's gotta go right over the head right over the head of the state they're saying that it was a bumble through the end zone and a touchback he played by Wallace in the progressive pylon cam to get his hand on the football first and goal Clemson those Travis got to the edge well everybody was bunched up in the middle I guess with Haiti they ran a little powered good we block and got a full weight farce on that one getting themselves a big run very accurate well protected again by a better after Tanner Engel whipped it's a 16-yard game three got it yeah and pushed out of bounds at about the two yard line Bank remove on that 41 yard gallop we've seen time and time again another explosive run by Travis eta on second and short now why not and that's out the ball comes out picked up by Clemson we came up your watch here the rake still only carry me with that one hand and 44 not picnic with the force fumble they basically bet brand the same exact way last touchin happen great and affairs for the Clemson Tigers get out of Huggins and Justin foster 67 35 are gonna come clean Huggins first here comes Foster to brush it off but extra pressure Justin he's been a spectator here in the second half is buried by Shack Smith listed as a third-string wide backer for cleansing holds on doing there's gonna be a whole [Music] to get a feel for school [Applause] for Clemson with 41 seconds to go just buns sorry you need to think about how cool is it man you're getting to play the go to this crowd swim so no matter what happened on that play I was proud of my team on Hart gotta fight it's been a heck of a week she saw the heart of our team today why that's the heart of a champion and you saw the heart of tiger all day last thing guys give me your predictions atashi dry her 27-17 baby I'm think I'm going somewhere like a 24-17 I think don't be one of those type of games but you know at the end of day you know we're gonna be the first ever to go 15 to know and we're gonna be taking that trophy better go Tigers [Music] [Music] [Music] Alabama's Alabama I do love Alabama oh yeah I'm a Georgia fan big fan I just love Tom I mean between you and all because the callers I mean it'll be fun I mean Clemson turn the plane around turn the plane around Alabama once again is sucking the oxygen out of the sport look it's just a fait accompli that Alabama's going to win and there's no one else it is just so good clumsy I'm pushing numbers ways it way to the back of the contender so many years we've talked about what Alabama had and say boy if they get a special quarterback there's nothing you could be and I think two is awesome I devil Sweeney said that the song watch me is Michael Jordan I really feel like this season congressman did you look at Clemson for a couple seconds do we know what you think about their football team might like is there any chance that this team has got here because of the schedule they didn't play any worth their great win I mean they barely beat Texas A&M on the road eating kids whatever the apt was awful Notre Dame was very limited Alabama dumped on everybody on their schedule worse than I've ever seen a team these three players from the FBS level ever before I think Alabama might be the best thing I've ever seen it's Alabama and nobody else it's Alabama and nobody else right now this thing doesn't scare me as much yeah okay area and maybe it's because the true freshman quarterback and so all the all the talk I hear about you know the sophomore running back - let's face it he has rushed for 1600 yards this year he scored 22 touchdowns but he has played in the 8dc prediction who wins torn Alabama wins I don't see a rout happen to say Bala Bama in a rout they just get up on their toes and lean into it and go they're good but they're not Alabama in spite of all the hype about having been here four years in a row I still don't think what we've seen of Trevor Lawrence is enough I mean I was at media days and everyone's saying the same thing this kids unbelievable being unbelievable until the moment arises and I don't think Trevor Lawrence will be able to handle it tonight you know I've been doing my football power ratings for about 20 years my highest team ever in college football with Bush lineart and this Bama team I have about 6 points higher than that we've seen this be the most dominant Bama team I've ever seen play is not the college football playoffs yeah Alabama my invitation is really show up every year don't have a new yeah so st. Nick's as lame as it always oh yeah between tips America's footballs and dinners it never gap between Clemson and Alabama you cannot stop the tide you can only save people the flood I think Trevor losses job tonight is to save the Tigers from the flood but he's a year too soon you're too early I'm going with Alabama they have a quarterback now that can get first downs so uncertain whatever a tool makes it almost unfair opponents a Notre Dame pass that they sold is Justin wrong deck for number 11 these note the USA for the favor me cheating and that's gonna be this year I don't think that Trevor Lawrence has the fat that he had this year it's been in the SEC all you I'll say it that way and so I think for the first time we played Clemson in four years now I think this team is more beatable than any of the other Clinton teams we play Clemson I don't know it says you know soup-to-nuts is talented in Georgia this Clemson team we I feel like we know less about how [Music] the big four college football really I think for the first time I know people will say well you always picked Alabama well you know what I picked out of em before haven't along too many times we'll see you soon [Music] although [Music] [Music] along [Music] [Applause] [Music] you [Music] [Applause] we know [Music] [Music] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] let's close we don't know west coast we all know west coast is Cleveland Fair over hey lady I'm I understand this but uh if you want to cut me anymore cruise out there if you want to come to a program well you gotta worry about your coats I've been an octoroon dancin come to Devon first rolling three plays it's intercepted the Tigers go the other way with a pick six [Applause] [Music] [Music] - full burqa the Tigers beta pay only a three-man rush Florence to shut down [Music] 5:45 ugh just explosiveness and still back in front we said there were heaps of Iowa I didn't expect this read even five minutes [Music] [Music] right there terrific handle by Avon Wallace was a great job and hey Bob Wallace to be able to come up there you feel crusher and suck it at the ground Leland burl ACC's Defensive Player of the Year with in his face at him John about it Burrell fired up because he's going up against Jonah Williams I'd say what did you wanna watch a match up a game was in the game he won that battle slugs in motion to a rolling shovel pass and the Tigers snip and Alec Austin fly you come that's having a man on a man tre Lamar on the blade trying to catch Clemson napping but this is where the experience and the veterans up once the flips entail a great job by Austin Bryant the senior booster inner flats it's a block gets another block and spans down inside the 25 from South Carolina makes a big play as time and pliers to Higgins across the middle horse down some confusion his Savion Smith started to and kind of looked around watching Mayans oh no my man he left he Higgins go and could recognition to find him and make the rules just as he Tian walks in stretching the lead players 65 yards right there they gotta be happy with that cries he is not if anything he's accelerating [Music] looking to throw in first down launches it for Judy but it's picked up the second interception this is crazy and Mullen getting supports is to going Plato thing out as two of his picked off for the second time you know he has such confidence in his ability that sometimes I think he becomes EE he has such confidence that he thinks this guy's gonna make a plan this safety his time fools him Wallace was sitting on the hash he thought he had man to man instead to Mullen crops back anticipated the coverage didn't read the coverage and because of that he just silly thinking his man's going to make a play and instead Winston Bateson and picks him off to the second time and a Sean Watson honorary captain tonight they like young boys looking the other direction [Music] rental goes down and makes the catch such 43 gays against where the man is finally concluded his Tigers burger sanitation great job begins Paul McKenna's but if anybody with a ton of retro coach Lawrence Wright suction six inside the 35 [Music] pocket order to catch your bus little by Hammarby mr.

balance it but he cannot escape the range he safety Isaiah Simmons but tre Lamar makes the play right here and it forces Harris to have to bounce they continue to blitz these linebackers he gets penetration and here if Isaiah Simmons functions crowding the line when they back out now late pressure bet clock above all was hammered Trayvon Mullen who just had to pay gets home when a to a slow

across the middle and that's Justin Ross [Applause] field goal number 54 and the Tigers there was 61 yards quickly and adds to the lead a 15 point margin 45 seconds before half-time Vukovar Lola steps

enough other play defense two interceptions took one to the house egn touchdown hat-trick and the favorites the top seeds find themselves in a 15-point hole we're gonna throw again any escape this fires it into the turf Tiger is looking for intentional grounding as Wilkins push brush to the quarterback along with Austin Bryant it's a little salty now that's the beauty of having poor they can rush the quarterback Blanca Bella has to avoid pressure and delivers off the hands of Smith's there he doesn't hear the quarterback gets up and that all offensive lines having a hard time dispatch Russ way that pearl gets in there with it swift make to have to step up second and six as time this time ago those crossing routes tough to stop Smith made they rule that a funcle' he recovers it

peddling lawrence flips it open wide open Justin Ross open right the Alabama native brings up but race and Clemson strengthens its grip of his championship game [Applause] 74 yards [Applause] near

Corral Wilkins and sack back inside the 45 that ball came out Alabama got on top of it but he's looking at member this is area that he's trying to grow look at look at Christian Wulff by the way he's being held there's two offensive linemen trying to keep them out to see the ball out Christian Wilkins by the way when you come back for a reason and it's a reality right in front of your eyes you're not gonna let up dirt and sport scene low snap hurts scrambling for his life turns and makes a floor it's loaded complete rugs couldn't get out and get it that was a better look meaning that they covered up the note the center and the two guards and Brent Venables is unloaded everything in his arsenal to try to confuse the Bama offensive line and has done a great job of it so shits up this again it's a late slide before McKinney got him you see another the two back look Mexican ptn isn't the clear and finally as they close in a running out the entire territory Dylan Moses saved the touchdown yeah what great vision by each en what poor effort there by Isaiah bucks now we have seen Alabama bully people for the decade [Applause] since the little capitulation of the Crimson Tide right now as Lawrence's shows more toughness he's not back to dad at all there are four scores and press was still in there colliding with defenders another first down [Applause] Clemson's not letting up Alabama thinks defeated mentally not just physically and Trevor Lawrence is saying if you're not going to tack all run right over top of you it's real Sweeney the coach's son who came in motion the

what it's about right there the emotions you make a decision to pass on the NFL to come back to chase a dream with your with your brothers that's what it's about when it's realized good tell you they're gonna be a lot of teams are gonna study Brent Venables scheme and what they did in the offseason not everybody has the talent the Clemson has but you could come up with some of the scheme Brent Venables to get a game ball we're talking about all these players dabbler deserves it but boy that defense came prepared and outplayed Alabama's for 60 minutes as the reason we're Venables makes more than two million a year you showing here that tonight and this will end deep inside territory with very likely a victory formation and a 55th win for this Clemson senior class the Tigers reclaim their crown by crushing Alabama [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] delirium let me comes inside stunt banner players humble tonight your bama shut out the second half and Clemson just eats up the last 10 minutes Wow let's hear from Dabo Swinney international championship number two Tom Rinaldi now on behalf of the conferences and institutions that manage the college football playoff it's my honor the national championship trophy coach Dabo Swinney and the Clemson Tiger [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] Davo there is something there is something different about elevating a program to a place where you went multiple championships ii done what ru championship what does that say about where this program is now well the past 10 years one of those i told his diocese is we everything we've done once we've done again that 2016 1 the nati the first time in and knocked the lid off our program and i told these guys we're gonna win it again it's just a matter of which team does it and just so happens but this this this group of seniors that just won their 55th game they did it again and i'm gonna just say this and I mean this from the bottom of my heart because it is it is a privilege for anybody to be able to experience a moment like this so many coaches and great players never get this opportunity and for us to get to do it twice it's just the grace of God it's a blessing but at the end of the day having done today I appreciate this moment but it's really more about our journey relationships are dried what it took to get here and I just I'm so happy for our fans our families our players our administration our former winners a bunch of them here tonight and loved the ball and we're gonna enjoy this one we got a nice spot to put it in our facility right by the other ones we got twins but let me say this they're gonna be the glory and we're gonna enjoy this tonight but oh Friday we're gonna have another team meeting and we're gonna get locked in on next year a new journey you got some guys that can get you back one quick question about the way in which you won this one when did you feel that you had broken their will well I don't uh I really thought coming in I mean Alabama is Alabama I mean it's unbelievable but I felt like we had the better team I felt like our leadership the winner future citrus and I felt like in the first half the first half of pic 6 kind of set the tempo and then the first big play by Trevor to me right then when we stopped think we scored 4 out of the first six possessions I knew we had the opportunity even though we didn't run the ball great but I knew that we were going to be able to dictate to the coverage that we were going to get from them and I gots made plays we came in with the mindset that we were going to play on the balls of our feet and we were going to attack and we did the whole night we attacked and to be able to beat a great champion like this I mean it's just something you just kind of give credit to our staff and to these players for just just their will to win it was unbelievable that whoa congratulations that you made us before devil sweetie head coach of the national champions but he had travel warrants in here trevor as you might expect the offensive MVP with a virtuoso performance Trevor you're the first true freshman quarterback to start from win a national championship game since 1985 what's significance of what you've been able to accomplish in such a short period of time my teammates these coaches it's not really it's not really about me about me being a Freshman inches and I'm just so grateful to get to be a part of a team like this in any of my four years much less my freshman year has been it's been unbelievable the leadership of these seniors these coaches has been amazing I've never been on a team let's bring this poker since when did you feel that you guys had complete and total control of the game Oh probably probably honestly when Justin made that crazy catch down there I was like I think we got this not a bad deal that we got like that as a crabber congratulations man what a performance Trevor Lawrence the offensive MVP of the national championship game for wakame Trayvon Molyneux the defensive MVP the game you guys absolutely shut them down kept him out of the end zone after the first quarter now what did it mean to you to be able to stymie this offense that have gotten so much attention throughout the course of the year I mean a minute it meant a lot to us especially as the people defensive coordinator like Brent Venables believing in us you mentioned propel well we get all the preparation we believe in each other why no we have an aunt play with love and it got the business at what point did you feel like that you were dictating the terms of the game to them I mean I feel like as soon as we got on that we felt like that [Applause] great mind congratulations congratulations hey let's see if we can get Christian welcome dear Christian what yeah this year [Applause] Campbell Trophy winner national champion two times over now tell me about the emotion that was coming out of you at the end of the game as the clock started to wind down I mean this is special man this everybody on this team all the work we put in the coaching staff I mean people just don't get it man unless you're at Clemson just how special everybody is and I special epic okay we are now we 52 know the best team ever I mean so we fitted another best him over and over taking that away from me and as you leave Clemson was this a changing of the guard game where now you are the program against which everyone else is measured I mean well that's up to everybody else you know we just thought it'd be the best we can be you know day in and day out we'd be the best pair working program we could be and I mean so that's our yacht inside we just wish them take care of our business freshen tremendous career outstanding performance tonight cause we don't know what its Coast we all know West Coast it's Cleveland Fair over yeah Lonnie how am I understand this but uh if you want to cut mandible crews out there if you want to come to a program well you got to worry about your coach I'm in an octoroon [Music] that might be the strongest before try to take that mic away from me but I was not given enough but they are the champions of the night Chris guru see hell did you grab but they made their point I mean a recruiting pitch on the way out the door from the two to the fence don't hide stuff as if we need a recruiting pitch after this are those two we'll be back next we're going to wide receivers but you're right that's pretty cool I trust you how much they care about their program not just about themselves what's the phrase they use the love of the ball tiger paw prints all over the back side of Alabama and a beat-down we thought we would never see of a Saban team an emphatic statement a knockout in the third quarter really around for good comeback take a look at the highlights of this game as we move towards SVP it's workcenter kid really is 19 years old believe it or not two more years of Trevor Lawrence to enjoy because football this was an emphatic that strong statement Mike comes and something thought he'd never see a save a team righted like that what's your takeaway from tonight Trevor Lawrence is a creek and his clemson team was incredibly well prepared they have coached Alabama they'll played Alabama they deserve to win this complete domination from the goal we kept talking about that Syracuse close call that dad from that point on when they got Trevor Lawrence back in the lineup against Wake Forest they they won by 20 or more every game that they played then they get into the playoffs at Notre Dame and of course out and a playoffs that's that's about as good as you can hope for appear Clemson fan of it pretty much checked every box demo so he could hope for right explosive plays they won the turnover battle they were almost flawless just the one penalty in the game didn't have a turnover didn't give up sacks it's just on a tip our cap again to that defensive line they all decided to come back together for this moment but that confetti to play this opponent and they got what they wanted and they're the chance so Christian Wilkinson Hunter Renfro two of the seniors you cap an incredible career 55 wins in their careers back to the total of the Alabama seniors each with two national champions the Clemson Tigers perfection the season 15 and oh the first undefeated champ to the playoff era in the first 15 and over major college champion in the modern era a near flawless performance round form wasn't knocked out but the challengers out of the orange quarter 4416 a 31 is it run down the stretch [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Music] they don't put championship rings on smooth hands my friend [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] the house Oh [Music] I fell all the time Christmas it's not your destiny is it the city which you ever baked and his team made a decision to be great it's not there right right they're not entitled to be great it's a decision that you have to pay fifteen they make that decision they were special and not only is this group with their second National Championship in three years but they became the first 15 and 18 a modern day history [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] the following announcement has been paid for by the New World Order well the first thing you gotta realize mother is this right here is the future you can call this balloon we don't do much I don't think okay there's a lot of things Bama had a lot of things going again I'm not trying to sound like sour grapes once we won the game okay but you said to me a minute ago when we were preparing for the show you're like if this is the NBA Finals or this is the World Series and this is the best of seven you and I think Alabama wins that's right as though we're 20 the better team that day at the end of the day the okay but I don't think it was anything [Music] bad decision is poor decision on my part I just think we came out we were filling ourselves shout ourselves in the foot nobody spelling an interception for a touchdown [Music] ago the way we want these guys spent the whole year getting ready for this game they play the schedule that they didn't have to worry about no other scene forward by the audience the Gala's cheese on the plate before the ball came even though we would have won I think the game was actually closer fans in Alabama D we're down in the red phone and not converse right and take seven alone zatarc again which that is scared to death process the next thing the next thing else would you address what I think it is you know they're talking about they're talking about clumps to make a better team motion I'm very faulty it's the better day to be a game time we punished once Alabama license bill which won twice over the course of a game that means offensively you're moving the ball well you're having success and so one of the punts table and sorry got a discount you got a do one of the pain with a minute ten left in the gym yeah but even under four with your thing we punted one time at the very end of the first half in one job at the very end of the game yep Sue's they didn't stop it we stopped us from surco no I think you're right in in tort or two up so what tor tor tor to it to us are you here on the perfect pitch which could've easier than a poor people pick something you know and they scored off of you know poke themselves you know that was fourteen points off turnovers I don't want to assign points to how do we possess the ball but certainly that's poking points that you know you could look at on a player in put a question mark to them the two interceptions lead deploys and so in in a 28 point margin you can say okay that's fourteen and Alabama had five possessions inside the Clemson 22 resulted in only nine points in school in fact Alabama has three possessions inside the three yard line and resulted in only nine points it's if you take those five possessions and you say you know Alabama's just fun doing Alabama dance and if they get inside the five they're gonna score a touchdown and if they get inside the 25 they're gonna score bilbo then Alabama scores eighteen trends I'm sorry Alabama score is 27 points instead that's a plus amazing this will take a bus of 18 muscles and I know all this is if and buts oh no no no but if you add weight if you add 18 to Alabama's whole young you take away team from Simpson Tony then is those lost scoring opportunities there's easily easily and again I'm being conservative I'm not giving us a touchdown every time I mean I know that sounds Homer ISM I know it sounds great and I don't want that to be true I don't I don't intend to sell that where they beat us on this day but I do think anything and especially these questions I think 12 in faraway Brooklyn is what you said about the five possessions we should kind of laid all that out dude dude that's just not football that's why we're playing more like the Auburn game for the pupate it's if you have ten games for Alabama to play right and they have the ball five sides of 22 yes Papa Naylor scored nine point this is a dude dude that might not happen again and ten games like that you know kind of the irony is is you know we have the same you know a couple years ago when we lost the function was a very similar circumstance where we lost some guys in the secondary and had they been available for that game and we had a couple a couple of losses - second day then I think impacted the outcome of that game along with the injuries smaller one no even though they didn't have Dexter water okay they had Christian Wilkins fifth-year senior Albert hug and sit your finger often Brian Vickers things where the we're cycling in the Tigers right now they certainly had a lot of success against SEC programs but there's a difference between play in South Carolina and then either albarn array in in I'm ever play Alabama and then going through the grind of an SEC my conference is better than yours really doesn't matter when you're winning national titles but cousin had this one night Oh can't believe Alabama got beat in by quarterback it could be a Hermosa Beach Boys ran No yeah we would have a defensive back get injured on the touchdown play the Stars was not lined up I'm not turned East our great sir I'm just saying had we done what had Alabama done with and done the whole rest of the season that is a 32 point sure we got away from what Alabama football you okay you go back to you look at the bat that we had to drive stop by an underdose we had three drives stop on down in the red coach we only punish the bollocks wife you know I'm sorry man they didn't do anything to stop us on offense and and that's gonna be easy to make someone's gonna take that as Alabama homework their point there right the other thing that key about the score differential is Clemson had to pick six right they start to make the place but they had to pick six and then they score one touchdown on fourth one [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] if where they got to draw the Clinton got that to change Notre Dame out I have something well anybody will be back Sam about that Bombo no no got it these will never be over [Music] [Music] this relation is gonna be great
