Game Thread: National Championship: Clemson vs Alabama 8pm ET ESPN

[SignalBama]

429 yards and only 16 points. Gotta give Clemson's red area defense credit for that. Alabama could gain 600 yards this game and not touch 40. Unreal.

 

[Bandwagonbo2]

They aren't used to chasing a passing team around. Other than your piggies, who else have they played this year that chunks it a lot? Oklahoma, Arkansas and who else?

Missouri?

I remember all the ESPN morons said Nebraska wouldn’t be able to stop Florida in 1995 Championship too.

Yeah, remember that Nebraska team - they were among the best I've ever witnessed.

 

[Locke888]

Funny how so many though the SECCG had the 2 best teams...

OVERRRATTTTEDD!!
(Clap, clap, clapclap clap)

Nope. Your offense still hasn't recovered from running roughshod over the Oklahoma defense.

I don't think I've ever in my life seen a Nick Saban Alabama team that was this unprepared for a game. This game was doomed from the start with terrible game planning and terrible calls. I hope Saban does a big time audit of things this offseason. I really don't see why we needed to keep Locksley after he got another job for example, it's not like he's some great OC, he was really just put in as next man up kind of thing, hoping to keep him for more than 1 year. Should just go ahead and put in a new guy with energy IMO. A guy like Pruitt - that's the guy you want to keep in that process.

If they played 10 times I could see Alabama winning 5 at least. It’s just one of those everything that could go wrong did go wrong games.

IDK, I think people just underrated this Clemson team. Lawrence and Ross are true freshmen, but they look to be destined to star on Sundays.

 

[Chewbaccer]

It ain't officially over yet. I've seen Peyton Manning bring a team back from 21 down with 4 minutes left in the NFL, but Bama better get a TD on every possession and find a way to not let Clemson score anymore.

 

[OregonDucks]

Trevor Lawrence is not human.

MELTDOWN ALERT

@4down20

 

[Beaker]

Saban is minutes away from becoming the only Bama coach to lose a Natty twice. He already owns the record for losing it once...

To be fair, how many coaches have even been in a position to lose it twice?

 

[Kace-1]

The highlight of the first 3 quarters is Clemson leading. If only it could stay that way the rest of the game.

 

[4down20]

I lost 420 vbucks on this game.

I ain’t mad though

Wonder why I did 420

Hmmm @4down20

Because you butthurt, thanks for letting me know. I hadn't really thought much about you at all.

[NDGreg]

Yes dipshit, your team is the best ever and anyone who is better must be cheating. You're no different than every other loser fan.[/QUOT you can't say that these 2 teams sizes are legit.

 

[JuiceTheGator]

I remember all the ESPN morons said Nebraska wouldn’t be able to stop Florida in 1995 Championship too.

True, we were "too fast." In both cases, the much better OL and DL won the game...especially DLine.

 

[Hang_On_Sloopy08]

was it Ohio State on Wisconsin a few years back?

Supposedly there’s adult men who actually think it was a conspiracy that Wisky threw that game. Allegedly.

 

[it'sHuskers4me]

Clemson could beat the Chicago Bears
in a field goal kicking contest.

 

[Gatorchip]

Okay, who is celebrating taking the over for this game? I took Clemson, and I was too scared to take the over.

I lost 420 vbucks on this game.

I ain’t mad though

Wonder why I did 420

Hmmm @4down20

i picked Clemson straight up

 

[cwalke3408]

OK

Bama trying to make that come back

Clemson can't go soft

Could happen.

I could get recalled to active duty tomorrow morning and promoted to lieutenant general

… could happen.
