re: Clemson is sure glad OJ Howard is at the combine

I don't so much credit Watson with this year's win as I do his receivers. They won every jump ball every low throw was caught and they made some super plays.

Without that they do not win this game.

Most people can agree with this. This wasn't Cam's Auburn team where he was so much better than anyone on the field and just ran all over everyone. Clemson had guys making plays all over the place - like Tillman said, 4 receivers over 90 yards apiece. Look at Renfrow's 10 catches AND a TD saving tackle after a fumble for example. Would Clemson have won without him? Maybe. Would they have won without Watson? Probably not. But, would Alabama have won last year without Howard. Maybe, but I don't think so.

Some would have us believe Watson made all those catches and every tackle. Probably recovered the onside kick, too.

It was a fantastic game. Two fantastic games, and people are still saying it was a one man show. Clemson isn't going to fall off the face of the earth now that Watson is gone. I wish all championship games were this good.
