“People doubt us all the time”, Tigers coach Dabo Swinney said.

Sanders not dwelling on ‘Bill Clinton’s sex life’
He’s reportedly polling ahead of Clinton by a small margin in New Hampshire where the first primary will be held eight days later. This story corrects that 2.5 million is the number of donations, not donors.

When to Watch the Peak of Quadrantid Meteor Shower
It was almost full and lit up the sky all night long like a celestial spotlight, obscuring all but the brightest shower members. Unlike other meteor showers, though, they’re not the result of debris from an ordinary comet burning up in the atmosphere.
Clemson outscored Oklahoma 21-0 during a 15-minute span in the second half to take control of the game.
Klopp demands Liverpool improve at the back
The Stoke game will hopefully give the players the chance to put the West Ham nightmare behind them. “Now he looks fit to me”. Hot off the heels of West Ham pulling the double over Liverpool and pulling a 2-0 victory, manager Klopp is hopping mad.
“It’s our job to stop them”, Alabama defensive end Jonathan Allen said. “This is year seven, and we were able to kind of knock the roof off of it, win another ACC Championship, and when you win our league, you’ve got a chance to play for it all, and so here we are”.
And, boy, they both look impressive.
As easy as Alabama made it look in drumming Michigan State in the College Football Playoff semifinal game in Arlington, Texas, Anderson expects the Tigers (14-0) to present a more formidable challenge.
Swinney has backed it up now that Clemson is on the brink of its first title since 1981.
The national championship might come down to this: Whether Clemson can find weak spots in Alabama’s defensive armor with its quick-strike offense, or whether the extra time to prepare will give the Tide time to develop a scheme capable of stopping Watson and the Tigers. Ben Boulware, named the game’s Most Valuable Defensive Player, halted an Oklahoma drive deep in Clemson’s end with an interception to thwart the Sooners’ final scoring try. This year, however, there was no Clemsoning for the Tigers.
He was a walk-on wide receiver for Alabama’s 1992 championship team and went on to become a graduate assistant and receivers coach.
“I don’t think it’s too serious”, Swinney said. Where Mike Williams gets hurt in September and Lakip gets suspended in July and Lakip and Cain each get suspended Tuesday and it just doesn’t matter because walk-ons like Renfrow and Huegel come out of the woodwork to make an impact. “We just have to go out there and be the band of brothers that we have and work together and dominate”. “This year, we really wanted to make a statement and do something special”. 1 Alabama was taken down in the semifinals by Ohio State.
“We can be the best team ever”, Boulware shouted.
“We’d like to enjoy this game for 24 hours, but Clemson’s got a great team”, Saban said Thursday night.
Clemson quarterback Deshaun Watson showed off the Orange Bowl trophy after defeating Oklahoma. Clemson has a very strong 3rd down offense but yet Alabamas defense is one of the best on third down.
“As a unit”, Watson said, “it’s tough to beat us when we’re all on the same page and have each other’s back”. They stuffed the Sooners’ run game. Since then they had averaged 52 points a game. He was diagnosed with a sprained medial collateral ligament. “But never in my career, never, any sport, going back to when I was a little kid have I been undefeated”.
Alabama can feel secure in a key advantage, one on clear display in the victory against Michigan State. He caught eight passes for 138 yards and two TDs.

Of course, Alabama’s utter demolition of Michigan State – the Spartans rushed for 29 yards – suggests a team that is playing on another level. Back-to-back runs of three and two yards combined by Samaje Perine and Joe Mixon on the next two downs left Oklahoma well short of a first down and also out of field goal range.
