Alabama Beats Clemson to Win National Championship

January is a great month for sports. Basketball season is in full swing with All Star Weekend on the horizon,  NFL is heading into the playoffs, and only the best College football teams are still suiting up for the fifth month. Last night was the season finale for collegiate football, as number one Alabama took on number two Clemson in Glendale, Arizona. Luckily for us viewers, there was plenty of action from the first quarter.

Running back Derrick Henry scored the first touchdown of the game for Alabama, putting the tide up seven nothing. It's worth mentioning that Henry, the 2015 Heinemann trophy winner, is a straight beast, and has scored at least one TD in the last 20 games. There was a combined 40 points scored in the fourth quarter, so that's where we'll jump. Ten minutes to go, tie score, 'Bama goes for the onside kick, and gets the ball back, and they would capitalize.

Seven minutes on the clock, Crimson Tide up four, Kenyan Drake turns the jets on, and takes the ball 95 yards, all the way to the house. Check it out: That score put Alabama up eleven, but the Tigers would answer back.Four minutes left, Quarterback Deshaun Watson hits Artavis Scott for the 15 yard touch. They'd miss a two point conversion, score is 38-33. Third and goal, just over a minute remaining, here's Henry again for his third 6-pointer of the game, to put them up 45-33, and they would not look back. Clemson would score one more touchdown to put them within five. They would fail the onside kick, and Alabama would go on to win 45-40.

The win gives Nick Saban and Alabama their fourth College Football Championship in the last seven years, and they truly are a dynasty. Crazy thing is, these SEC teams have what seems like NFL-ready guys straight out of high school. Congrats to the Alabama Crimson Tide.
