When was the last time Clemson won a national championship in football?

The Dabo Swinney era of Clemson football has been a pretty prosperous one for the school — especially when you consider its history prior.

The Tigers last won a national championship during the 2018 College Football Playoff where they came back from a 13-0 deficit at the half to win the game. Trevor Lawrence’s unbelievable brilliance as a true freshman quarterback had everyone in awe.

That championship run by Clemson had elements of surprise in it, but it turned out to me more of what we’ve grown accustomed to from the program.

Before 2018, Clemson also won a national title in 2016. Before then, however, their earliest title came in 1981.
