What I should have said is Clemson doesn't sniff 10 wins let alone compete in the championship game without Deshaun Watson. Bama could play without Henry in '15 and compete for a championship. Or OJ Howard. Or Calvin Ridley. The point isn't a hypothetical situation it's that Clemson and Bama's depth are not remotely close.
this year's game would not have been close if Clemson didn't have two turnovers to Bama's 0. Last year, Clemson wins without the 4th quarter special teams miscue. you keep talking about depth but Clemson had one of their best days on offense against Alabama the last two seasons.
the truth is Watson didn't play that great in several games to start the season to include at Auburn. Our defense won that game. Watson's interceptions played a big role in Pitt winning at Clemson and almost cost us the game against Lville and NC State.
you guys can't accept fact you lost so you want to make Watson out as some kind of perfect player.
Pitt doesn't have more depth than Alabama and they beat Clemson at Clemson.
speaking of depth, many Bama fans blame the loss on Scarborough being injured, so isn't that that an admission at a lack of depth at RB? or the O-line isn't very good. lol

Are you referring to the onsides kick that was a well scripted, well planned play?
Or the TD return that, if the very next drive is any indicator, simply led to Alabama scoring quicker than they would have otherwise?

LOL, no we don't. We're not Clemson, blaming the loss of one player at a non-QB position for a loss.

Not a Bama fan. Just able to objectively view what happened on the field. Im sure Bama fans have vomited out every reason under the sun for why they lost, their fan base, like all of college football's, has a lot of idiots. You're a stunning example of Clemson's. Perhaps your blind partisanship made it too hard to see, but the play calling on both sides and Deshaun Watson's composure and overall skill at the qb position were the deciding factors of the game. Bama's QB completed 1/3 of his passes while the running game was cranking out 7 yards a pop. And before you say Scarborough, the rest of the ball carriers were cranking out the same ypc. Sarkisian's predictable run, pass, run, pass play calling resulted in running the ball only 34 times and passing the ball 32 times.
Noticed how Clemson mixed up running the ball when Bama Gallman down? Yeah, that's what a competent coordinator is capable of.
66 plays to 99?? That's insane. That's horrendous play calling. Simply put, When Bama lined up and ran the ball they averaged 7 yards a carry. They run the ball, they hold onto the ball, they don't put themselves in 3rd and long by passing on early downs, they keep the ball out of Deshaun Watson's hands and they win the game. NO competent coordinator continues to pass the ball at the same rate as rushing when the running game is giving you 7 yards a play and passing the ball is resulting in incompletions 2 out of 3 tries. Clemson scored with 1 second left, if Bama runs the ball, literally, a couple more times and they run out the clock. That's it. End of discussion. If bama sticks to the run game they not only win but win by multiple touchdowns.

Look at you you're discrediting the greatest player in the history of your program to better serve your flawed and idiotic points. In the immortal words of Terrell Owens, "That's your quarterback man!" My god that's your qb man! My opinions don't discredit your championship. There is no asterisk next to the trophy that states 'Yeah, Clemson won but Sarkisian called an awful game' but, objectively speaking, that and Deshaun Watson's playmaking ability is the reason Clemson won the game.
The fact you throw one of the best QBs in the history of the game, and the only reason Clemson was even in the playoff to begin with, under the bus is disgusting on so many levels. I suggest you stop listening to the talking heads at ESPN and actually try to think for yourself, but until then, may God have mercy on your misguided soul.
