The thing is, they were pick plays. Everyone from Deshaun Watson to the corching staff pretty much admits it.

Not really.

TAMPA, Fla. (AP) â€” Clemson coach Dabo Swinney says there should have been a foul called on the Tigers' game-winning touchdown against Alabama, and it should have been called on the Crimson Tide.

Swinney said Tuesday that there was defensive pass interference on Clemson receiver Artavis Scott, who made contact with his defender and created some traffic that another Alabama defensive back got caught in on Hunter Renfrow's 2-yard TD catch with a second left Monday night.

Clemson beat Alabama 35-31 in the College Football Playoff championship game to win its first national title since 1981.

"Yes, it's a rub play, it's a pick play," Swinney said Tuesday. "Artavis was actually trying to go pick the guy, but he couldn't get there because he got tackled. I mean, literally, the guy tackles him."

NCAA coordinator of football officials Rogers Redding, who was in the television booth for the game, said he has not studied the play but after watching it several times he called it a "sensible no call."

"What the officials are looking for is who initiates the contact," Redding said. "If the receiver comes out and clearly blocks on the defender and the other receiver cuts off that block, then it's offensive pass interference.

"What we saw was the contact was either initiated by the defense or mutually initiated. It wasn't a play where the offensive player clearly came out and blocked on them."

Alabama players and fans did not quite see it that way, and thought Clemson should have been flagged for offensive pass interference.

"Usually, on a pick route, you're not supposed to chop somebody," Alabama linebacker Tim Williams said.

Scott never made contact with Tony Brown, the defender who was guarding Renfrow. Brown had to go around Scott and Marlon Humphrey, like a basketball player going over a screen, and who could not get there in time. Renfrow was wide open.

The official rule is this: Offensive pass interference by a Team A player beyond the neutral zone during a legal forward pass play in which a forward pass crosses the neutral zone is contact that interferes with a Team B eligible player. It is the responsibility of the offensive player to avoid the opponents.

"I mean, if you really watch the play, we never even got a chance to really rub the guy (Brown)," Swinney said. "But he had to play over the top. That's the way the play is designed."

^^This was what I said.^^ They were designed pick plays. Now whether they worked as pick plays or what actually happened was legal or not is another thing.

I hope the official who did not call the "pick" enjoyed doing his last game.

If I were one of the DB's on that last play, I would have turned to the ref and hollered at him to watch for it. They'd already run it out of that same formation and scored on it earlier.

Well. Bama DBs think they can put their hands on every WR. So Clemson used that against them.
The first one was not a pick. The second one really had the feel of a pick. I liked it.
