SAN JOSE, Calif — Dabo Swinney will not come right out and say it, but his Clemson Tigers are no longer on the ROY Bus.
The Tigers are now driving the lead bus in college football, especially after the way they dominated Alabama Monday might in the College Football Playoff National Championship Game. Led by MVP Trevor Lawrence’s 347 passing yards and three touchdowns and a defense that held Alabama to just seven points on four red-zone possessions, Clemson routed the Tide with a 44-16 victory at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, Calif.
The win marked Clemson’s second national championship in two years, while the Tigers finished the season 15-0 – the first team in 121 years to make such a claim.
