NEW ORLEANS, La. | Brad Scott was making his way from the radio booth down to Clemson's locker room, saying his goodbyes to a couple of Tigerillustrated.com reporters who have covered him a long time.

We asked Scott one simple question:

Is that the best college football offense you've ever seen?

It took Scott less than a second to respond: "Yes."

In fact, he said, he had just told himself precisely that on the quiet elevator ride down.

Folks, it's OK to be disappointed with falling short of another national championship, of a 30th win in a row, of bold-face dynasty status with three titles in four years.
