SANTA CLARA, CA – A kid from Springfield, Mass,. and a school from a little town in the foothills of South Carolina shouldn’t be celebrating a national championship in the confetti. That player and that school aren’t supposed to make history.
All of the glory and the bright lights are supposed to be reserved for the Alabama’s and the Ohio State’s of the world.
All of that was true until Christian Wilkins and the Clemson Tigers took the College Football Playoff and the college football world by storm by dominating Alabama 44-16 in Monday night’s national championship game.
