2017 CFP Championship loss still stings for Alabama players

On Thursday night ESPN decided to re air a game which cemented one of the most storied rivalries in recent history.

The 2017 College Football Playoff National Championship was truly a game to be remembered for its back and forth matchup between Alabama and Clemson.

It was the game which ascended Clemson quarterback Deshaun Watson to all-time great status as he helped capture Dabo Sweeney his first championship, and serve Nick Saban his first loss in a title game at Alabama.

Although four years have past since then, the hurt from the heartbreaking last second loss for the Crimson Tide still stings for its players.
