College Football Title Tilt Is Tonight
Tonight in the Santa Clara home of the San Francisco 49ers, who once won 4 titles in 9 seasons–that is not why they are called the “49ers,” all while playing their home games at legendary Candlestick Park, Alabama seeks its sixth title in ten seasons, taking on Clemson, the latter bidding for a second crown in 3 seasons.
Alabama coached by Nick Saban, who also won the consensus crown while coaching LSU in ’03 and led by brilliant sophomore quarterback, Tua Tagolovia is about a six point favorite.
The Tide (Alabama) eased to victory in a semi-final game vs Clemson last season after splitting in two title tilts vs the Tigers winning in ’15 and bowing on a virtual last play Deshaun Watson to Hunter Renfrow touchdown pass (Renfrow is still at Clemson, Watson had a bad NFL ‘offs debut two days ago) ’16.
Clemson is coached by Dabo Swinney, who guided them to the aforementioned ’15 crown and features an outstanding freshman quarterback in Trevor Lawrence.
