Alabama’s tight end O.J. Howard hadn’t scored a touchdown all season. He picked the perfect night to change that. Howard was named Offensive Player of the Game after piling up 208 yards receiving and scoring two pivotal TD’s in Alabama’s win over Clemson. No. 2 Alabama won its fourth college football national title in seven seasons, defeating No. 1 Clemson 45-40 in the College Football Playoff on Monday at Glendale, Arizona. It is the 14th NCAA national title for the Crimson Tide, which finishes the season 14-1.
