    Repped! Too bad no rushing stats, though.

    I wonder why Watson didn't declare for this year. I guess his stock wouldn't be as high as it is now?

    Watson's SO year seems most comparable to Winston's SO year.

    Watched him all year and Watson is better than all those guys. One of the best deep ball passers I've ever seen in college. If you take away the deep ball, he can complete a dozen mid/short passes in-a-row because he's accurate.

    I'll say this again: Quite surprised how many here didn't know about Watson. He's been great all year.

    Only a sophomore. I believe it's three years removed from HS but I could be wrong.

    And oops, here's everything. :) Sorry.

    I don't think the majority of CFers watch college football outside of the schools in Texas.

    I myself knew about Clemson's record, but as far as individuals, no idea Watson was this talented. Consider me a believer.

    Ah, got it.

    Now, put that in a spreadsheet for me, so everything looks pretty. :p

    But honestly, Watson's numbers are very solid, when compared to the three heisman winners.

    Really too bad the Browns have to suck another year to get him :grin:

    his coming out party last year vs UNC (in his first start) when he had 6 TDs was incredible to watch. guy was a true freshman.

    people were comparing him and tahj boyd but watson is light years better.

    I know that in general this bowl season was terrible. But this game was awesome. I feel bad for anyone who missed it.

    Clemson shifts millions in Vegas with late cover in loss to Alabama
    1:48 AM ET


    A last-minute touchdown drive by Clemson in Monday's College Football Playoff National Championship Presented by AT&T didn't mean the difference in the 45-40 loss, but it meant a whole lot to the bettors.

    When the game kicked off, the Westgate Las Vegas SuperBook had Clemson as a 6.5-point underdog.

    Great game! I'm shocked it was that high scoring.

    It didn't help that he got injured last year when he was having a fantastic freshman season. I think had he finished out that season the way he had started it, there would have been a ton of buzz about him coming into this season and more people would have known about him earlier.
