CLEMSON, S.C. -- This wasn’t his Heisman Trophy moment, not in a game in which he threw three interceptions and suffered through a miserable third quarter as his team watched an 18-point halftime lead slip away. This wasn’t Deshaun Watson at his finest, but it was a reminder of why he’s still the best quarterback in the country.
Down eight points midway through the fourth quarter, Watson engineered back-to-back touchdown drives to keep Clemson’s playoff hopes alive and hand Louisville its first loss of the year, 42-36.
In a game of massive swings, Watson’s finish was calm, cool, collected.
