1. Clemson director of football administration Woody McCorvey, a college football lifer, on how Tiger sophomore quarterback Deshaun Watson has led a team with 42 freshmen and redshirt freshmen to the national championship game: “Sometimes when you got young guys, things don't affect them like they do an older guy. I've seen a lot of that this year. You got the ball backed up against Notre Dame, and it doesn't affect him. He said, ‘Look, y'all ready to go win? Let's take this thing on a 93-yard drive.' Boom! He takes it down the field and all those kids believe in him.
