The last QB to beat Alabama is rooting for Clemson
Though QB Chad Kelly and the Ole Miss Rebels let the Alabama Crimson Tide come from behind for a win earlier this season, the outgoing senior is still the last quarterback to hand Nick Saban’s crew a loss.
As Alabama prepares for Monday night’s championship game, Kelly is rooting for Clemson QB Deshaun Watson to join the exclusive club of quarterbacks to beat the Crimson Tide:
Got That Feeling Those Tigers Are Gonna Prevail And WIN !!! Them Boys Got This @BigCat_94 @DeshaunWatson4 ! Ball Out Fellas!

Despite the disappointing loss this season, Kelly had the Tide’s number in 2015. That year, the Rebels took down No. 2 Alabama 43-37 in Tuscaloosa.
Under Bo Wallace, the Rebels also defeated No. 3 Alabama 23-17 in Oxford.
Alabama and Clemson will square off at 8:30 p.m. Eastern time on ESPN.
