The Clemson Tigers proved greatness can be for anyone when they took down the biggest, baddest dynasty college football has seen in decades. Nick Saban was 5-0 in National Championship games, but Coach Swinney’s Tigers believed, and with some final minute heroics, prevailed.
Following the monumental victory, many of the players on the field and fans in the stands shed a tear of joy. For Clemson, it’s like the infamous SEC football commercial says, “it just means more.” Obviously, coming so close last year - only to fall short against Saban’s Crimson Tide - made this victory a bit more special.
