Tagovailoa entered the game at halftime, replacing a struggling Jalen Hurts, and threw three touchdown passes to give the Crimson Tide its fifth national championship since 2009 under coach Nick Saban. “He just stepped in and did his thing,” Hurts said. “He’s built for stuff like this. I’m so happy for him.” The Tide might have a quarterback controversy ahead of them, but first Alabama will celebrate another national title. For the third straight season, Alabama played in a classic CFP final. The Tide split two with Clemson, losing last season on a touchdown with a second left. What was Saban thinking as the winning pass soared? “I could not believe it,” he said. “There’s lots of highs and lows. Last year we lost on the last play of the game and this year we won on the last play of the game. These kids really responded the right way. We said last year, ‘Don’t waste the feeling.’ They sure didn’t, the way they played tonight.” AP Photo Smith streaked into the end zone and moments later confetti rained and even Alabama wide receiver Devonta Smith hauls in the game-winning 41-yard touchdown pass from Tua Tagovailoa, Saban seemed almost giddy after watch- giving the Crimson Tide a 26-23 overtime win in the College Football Playoff championship game in Atlanta on Mon- ing maybe the most improbable victory of day, Alabama overcame a 13-0 halftime deficit for the win. his unmatched career.
