National title game final score: DeShaun Watson stars in Clemson upset of Alabama

Quarterback DeShaun Watson put together a huge fourth quarter on Monday night and Clemson sprung the big upset of Alabama in the 2017 national title game. Clemson was a 6.5-point underdog entering the game. They were trailing entering the fourth quarter, and Nick Saban was 97-0 when leading a game in the fourth quarter. Combine that all together and while Clemson claims it was not an upset, it was.

Watson is getting all the buzz after the game, as he finished the game 36 of 56 for 420 yards and three touchdowns, and also rushed for 43 yards and a touchdown.
