Game Thread: Orange Bowl: #4 OU v #1 Clemson on ESPN at 4pm ET

[DJ]

Stoops is a bad big game coach.....that can't be denied.

 

[Xulu Bak]

Ask the 11 teams that lost to them and 124 teams that didn't make the playoff...

So, ask Texas?

Lol. I wonder what bet that dude lost.

Duh, Texas didn't lose but yeah, go ahead ask Texas if they would have liked to had been there and finished with a better record. No matter how you look at it nobody expected OU to be in the CFP at the start of the year so it was successful year by that measure. Just didn't get the final prize is all.

u can rip stoops but not much u can do when your front 7 gets manhandled

 

[DJ]

Espn gives the Sooners a 63% chance of winning today and Alabama a 68% chance of winning.

So take the opposite of what ESPN says basically.

Generally that's a good plan.

Both OU's backs were severely hobbled. Tough to win that game without them. Mayfield alone had no chance. That said, Congrats to Clemson; that team played hard.

He's won his share, and he's lost some. So did Switzer and Osborne. It's the press and you guys who put that label on him, "Big Game Bob", he didn't give it to himself. So evidently you guys and the press were wrong!

Yikes! Was that Bruce Jenner?

I wondered whether our O-line might struggle but I didn't expect our front 7 to get manhandled like that. Clemson is freaking legit.

 

[Bayou Tiger]

Well, when you abandon the run what do you expect.

Dabo claiming victory next week already.

You aren't supposed to be congratulating Clemson, you're supposed to be belittling OU...

 

[ElTexan]

I took Clemson and 2 confidence points

 

[Pariah]

Not even competitive. I knew that OU team was hiding somewhere.

Was a better season than I expected but I'm still questioning how long Stoops can keep ending up on the short end of the stick...

I still don't know why they got away from the run so quick, didn't hardly try to run after that first series where they ran it pretty well.
