When you win the national championship, you don’t get one Player of the Game. You get two.

Sometimes, to win the national championship, it takes throwing 56 passes. It takes completing 36 of them. It takes throwing for 420 yards against a vaunted defense. It takes three touchdowns and no interceptions. It takes the game of a lifetime.

To win the national championship, it also takes rushing for 43 rough-and-tumble yards when the other team is hell-bent on your own personal destruction. It takes weaseling out of sure sacks, throwing darts into tight windows, and showing poise under pressure.

Deshaun Watson did those things. He did them early. He did them late. He did them on the game’s final drive—a nine-play, 68-yard, two-minute journey to the end zone. At the end, he scored on his final meaningful snap.

The man he threw the football to for the deciding score was Hunter Renfrow. He did the things you have to do to win the national championship.

Sometimes, you have to catch ten passes against the nation’s top pass defense as a former walk-on. You have to score two touchdowns against that defense, for the second year in a row. You have to amass 92 receiving yards, mostly on underneath throws against blanket coverage.

You have to make future NFL cornerbacks wish they hadn’t opened their mouths or messed with you. Most importantly, you have to haul in a two-yard pass from Watson with a single second remaining on the clock to clinch your school’s second national title—the first in 35 seasons.

Champions need two Players of the Game. Clemson got them, and it got the trophy, too.
