John Elway has The Drive and The Drive II, leading the Denver Broncos to playoff wins over the Cleveland Browns. Those drives were great and will live on in football lore as reminders of a great player.
But neither of those drives won a Super Bowl.
Clemson, Deshaun Watson and Hunter Renfrow will always have The National Championship Drive, Title Drive, 13 Steps to Glory or whatever you want to call it. And it means so much because it won a national title.
It’s been five weeks since Clemson knocked off Alabama to win the College Football Playoff National Championship, and as I was going through the assembled notes and quotes I had after the game, I noticed I had a story in mind about the game-winning drive that I’ve never run.
