Clemson never would have beaten Alabama without Watson or Sunshine being able to make plays with their legs too. The only way to beat the total physical dominance of teams like, Alabama, Georgia and Ohio State is to have a QB who can pass but also make key plays with his legs, even if it is only escaping for 7 yards to get critical third down conversions. Beating teams like NIU, Marshall and Stanford in 2022 though should never be a problem. A letdown can be expected now and then but not a complete emotional collapse and not believing in yourself that you will be able to come back and win somehow. A good team still wins some ugly games.
