Edwards: Is Watson Bama's kryptonite?

You're going to read and hear it for the next several days: Clemson's Deshaun Watson is the type of QB that has been kryptonite to Nick Saban's defense.

And Watson isn't just mobile. He's an elite, dual-threat QB who may be as good as any Saban has had to gameplan against in his nine years at Alabama -- a list that includes Heisman winners Cam Newton, Johnny Manziel and Tim Tebow.

Coming off ACL surgery late in 2014, Watson wasn't a focal point of the Tigers' rushing offense in the early part of this season.
