re: Alabama lost because Clemson made more plays than we did

They won because we went 2-15 on 3rd down. Period. We convert some of those and keep our D on the sideline I think we could have pulled it out. Their D played extremely well. They knew what was coming half the time. Hats off to them. Clemson played one hell of a game. They unquestionably deserved the W and to be called the best team of the 2016 season.
