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

[4down20]

Well, now we know where Kirby learned that stupid call.

 

[UNA Lion]

Kick the FG....

Nope. Saban's just getting flat outcoached.

Clemson cannot stop the run, and yet he calls boneheaded pass plays, and then a pathetic fake the entire planet saw coming.

Outcoached, plain and simple.

 

[gohusk]

Dude, you still go with the fake after it was obvious they weren't going to even attempt to try to block the kick? Take the 3 Saban.

 

[78Cyclones]

Well, that was stupid. I'd rather have Tua pass on 4th and 6 than a fake FG. Not Georgia fake punt bad, but bad enough.

 

[drbuck10]

Herbie turned into a Clemson homer.

that's rich considering he's been slurping Tua and the stable of Bama RBs all game

 

[SignalBama]

Oh well good game. Wasted that.

 

[Wild Turkey]

Roll Tide

 

[MarkOU]

LoL wtf a fake?

Bad call

 

[Shanemansj13]

Why even do the fake? Go for it, you have a better chance. Kiffin is that you??

 

[Fred_Delosantos]

This doesn’t look like a Saban coached gm

yeah, bama not playing like bama. on the ropes?

 

[Pegleggedgreg]

Clemson has Bama going gimmick to open the half, they punch one in for 6 on this drive and it’s over.

 

[ElTexan]

Fake FG? That’s a very unSABANlike move. Weird

 

[theboardref]

I mean you made it every time on 4th down, why not just go for it again?

 

[4down20]

Might be the dumbest call saban ever made right there.

He faked a punt against Texas from our own 20 in 2008 on the 1st drive of the game.

 

[kelley2403]

The on,y person that could make that call was Saban. Guess he’ll cuss him self out during the tv timeout.

 

[Codaxx]

Nope. Saban's just getting flat outcoached.

Clemson cannot stop the run, and yet he calls boneheaded pass plays, and then a pathetic fake the entire planet saw coming.

Outcoached, plain and simple.

There is a reason Mike Locksley is known as a great recruiter

 

[MizzouFalcon]

Is Dooley calling bamas plays now?!

I fucking hope so. That would mean he’s not here anymore.

Herbie turned into a Clemson homer.

I think there is light to cue them in the booth as to which bandwagon to climb on...

 

[Kace-1]

Don't let this 3rd Quarter distract you from the fact that Duke's won their last 3 Bowl games.
