Deshaun Watson's Goal Is to Make Clemson's Offense the 'Best Ever'

Fresh off a Vince Young-like performance in the College Football Playoff National Championship Game that ended on a sour note, Clemson quarterback Deshaun Watson is not done.

Not even close.

The 2015 Heisman Trophy finalist threw for 405 yards and a touchdown, rushed for 73, and put up more yards against Alabama's defense himself than any other team did all year in the 45-40 loss on Monday night in Glendale, Arizona.

"Being able to improve on what we did this year with a lot more veterans, we have a chance to be one of the best offenses ever in college football," Watson said while accepting the 2015 Manning Award given to the nation's top quarterback.
