Deshaun Watson looked pretty much dead against Alabama, but we forget that he’s a wizard. 

Most of the time whenever the Alabama Crimson Tide defense gets you as a quarterback in the backfield, you’re pretty much dead right there. This defense has been eating up quarterbacks all season long, and when they hit, they  hit quickly and gobble you up.

Although, they haven’t faced a quarterback this season like Clemson Tigers signal caller Deshaun Watson, who showed that not even this Alabama unit can have an easy time to bring him down.

With time running down late in the second quarter, the Alabama defense was able to get in the backfield rather quickly and get the pressure on Watson. When it looked like it was all over, Watson basically turned into a wizard.


Not only did he get out of the pressure, but he was also somehow able to get the first down!

Look, there really is no explanation for this, Watson is just that special of a player out there on the field. He can do things out there that other quarterbacks in college football can’t, which is why he was a Heisman finalist.
