But as Alabama’s Da’Ron Payne discovered, if y...

It's Deshaun Watson's Time
This National Championship game felt familiar, Clemson slogging early against a world-class Alabama defense before, gradually, luring them into exactly the Tigers’ type of game: a shootout. (The only difference being, maybe, that this year the clock ran out with the score in Clemson’s favor.) The co...

More than any other team in sports, Alabama football feels the most futile to root against. Over and over, they’ve stamped out nascent comebacks with two well-timed turnovers or turned a 14-10 game into a 28-10 game in two minutes of work. These are the sorts of ways you can win games when you’re bi...

This Is Not Targeting, Somehow?
Mike Williams hung on and got the first down here, but it cost him a huge shot from Alabama DB Tony Brown.
