CLEMSON LEADS USA TODAY SPORTS ALL-BOWL TEAM

Let’s look back at the top individual performances of the postseason in naming the USA TODAY Sports All-Bowl team, which includes four players from Clemson’s 35-31 win against Alabama to claim the national title. In total, 14 players on the all-bowl team participated in New Year’s Six games. There’s even a split at quarterback. Between Clemson’s Deshaun Watson and Southern California’s Sam Darnold, who had an outstanding Rose Bowl, it was impossible to pick just one.
