Facing his home state school, Clemson freshman wide receiver Justyn Ross made Alabama pay, big-time.

In the College Football Playoff national championship game on Monday, Ross threw off one Crimson Tide defender and juked another en route to a 74-yard catch and run to the end zone that put the Tigers up 37-16 over ‘Bama.

Deionte Thompson did not show a lot of recovery speed on that one. Got caught flat-footed, let Justyn Ross blow right past him. Slow in pursuit. pic.twitter.com/4SRzLKScHO
