Game Thread: CFP NCG: #1 Clemson vs #2 Alabama, ESPN, 8:30ET

I give Alabama credit for completely dominating the 4th quarter, but that kick was clearly illegal in multiple ways.

ESPN.....How can you show an illegal kick and say it was executed to perfection?

They were onsides
-ACC CCG refs

Is Adam Griffith Mexican? or Coonass? Or???

Yeah, and what the hell is that? A dirt patch caked on the middle roll?

Alabama Cake Roll

In what ways. Dabo Swinney said,"we didn't touch the ball" so clearly he couldn't find one.

 

[ElTexan]

Dabo still arguing the onside Kick... that Clemson should have been given an "opportunity to get the ball."

HTF does a Div1 head coach not know basic rules?

They were offsides on the weak side and the ball never touched the ground. Both illegal. Strange that Dabo didn't notice.

My thoughts exactly, what an idiot.

Dude. For reals. Let it go. That kick/catch was not illegal.

You gotta feel for the workers vacuuming that confetti.

Can you imagine if the cardinals had to host a game this past weekend and then they would have to set up the stadium for the game today?

Since when is it a rule the ball must touch the ground? I am not sure that is correct. As for the offsides on the weak side, I didn't see the weak side, so I can't agree or disagree.

It's bama and/or the sec. espn has to sell it.. just like calling that run a TD 10 minutes after it actually happened. Sport these days are total crap.

Agreed, I saw 0 wrong with that play and the fact that Dabbo Swinney thinks his team is owed an opportunity to get the ball is laughable. That is why Saban won and his team lost, you would never hear Saban sound so stupid when talking about the rules.

 

[Jakology]

You guys saying Dabo doesn't know the rules are ignorant. Here's the rule:

ARTICLE 1. a. A player of the receiving team within the boundary lines attempting to catch a kick, and so located that he could have caught a free kick or a scrimmage kick that is beyond the neutral zone, must be given an unimpeded opportunity to catch the kick (A.R. 6-3-1-III, A.R. 6-4-1-V, VI and IX).

SVP is so gangster. I liked his show but his sportscenter at night has so much swag.

It was in any way you look at it.
