Hurts overcame two more interceptions but found Brown 10 times for 137 yards to get by his former Alabama teammate Tua Tagovailoa and the Dolphins (5-2).
But the big play that sealed the win came in the fourth quarter from the cornerback nicknamed “Big Play” Slay.
Still, Hurts threw a 14-yard TD pass to Brown for a 24-17 lead with 15 seconds left in the third that ended up the winner.
Tagovailoa came off the bench and threw three touchdown passes to give the Crimson Tide their fifth national championship.
Hurts threw a 19-yard TD pass to Dallas Goedert for a 10-3 lead in the second quarter.
