Clemson Football: 5 ‘firework’ finishes of the Dabo Swinney era
1. 2017 National Championship
Clemson and Alabama played a classic the year before, but the Tigers came up short.
Though Alabama certainly seemed like the more physical team and the Crimson Tide were heavy favorites, Clemson (led by Deshaun Watson) continued to fight and claw its way through the game.
Trailing 31-28, Watson took over with a little less than two minutes remaining and the rest is history.
The Clemson offense drove right down the field and capped off the drive with a game-winning touchdown pass a young Hunter Renfrow with just one second remaining to give the Tigers the victory and the National Championship.
dark. Next. 3 games that could be cancelled and replaced in 2020
It’s a firework moment that no one will ever forget and it’s clear that all five of these games will forever be etched in the history books for Clemson football fans.
