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

[Hornsstampede2.0]

No conference in college football can stop 21st century offenses if the personnel are about equal.

THe best you can do is hope to get turnovers and some red zone stops occaisonally

The offensive schemes are just too good now.

The MYTH finally ends this bowl season.

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

Not sure. Doesn't sound they were much better than their recruiting abilities either...

@RubinRock congrats kid! I hope you ingest damn near dangerous amounts of alcohol, get your dick sucked by 9 hotties (y'all got enough if em) and, most importantly...

CHAMP

SO

DAMN

HARD!!!!!!

 

[SignalBama]

No. They are beating the shit out of an inferior opponent...

They are winning yes. But Alabama's Offense has gained yardage big time in this game. The difference in the game is red zone efficiency. Alabama has 3 drives where they only scored 3 points in the red zone. Clemson has only settled for a FG once. Combine that with turnovers and we have what we have. An impressive performance by Clemson.

Trevor Lawrence is not human.

Best. Transgendered. Quarterback. Ever.

 

[BeatPitt]

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.

Still won't accept it...

 

[OregonDucks]

why isn't Hurts in by now?

Tua clearly not having a good game.

C'mon Saban

 

[cwalke3408]

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

Too Soon!

 

[Moab]

Trevor Lawrence is not human.

He's no Herbert...and Clemson is very happy about that

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.

Settle down Francis. The tide have won 5 titles in 10 years. Stop being a fag.

Did you read my first post dumb ass

Yeah, I saw you crying over and over because your team isn't on the same level. Making excuses and reasons for why teams must be better than your own.

Just shut up.

 

[NDGreg]

Shut up. Go look at the recruiting rankings. There are 20 future NFL players in this game right now.

Your teams gonna get blown up after this anyways. So it's all good.

 

[blazer prophet]

Clemson clearly is the best team this year. The defense has continued to stall Alabama drives inside the 35 and their Offense is destroying the Alabama defense.

With such a powerful running game, I don't know why they didn't run more in the first half.

 

[OregonDucks]

Auburn or Clemson?

 

[Deep Creek]

Missouri?

That's another one...so 3 out of 14. Not really a week in/week out thing Bama sees. Hard to get used to it.

Just about the opposite of defenses that are used to playing against passing teams week in and week out. They see a running team and they ain't used to it at all.

 

[Robotech]

Gotta go for onside kick if you score here, right?

 

[UNA Lion]

C'mon Saban

Saban usually waits for him to limp off.

Yeah, and two stupid picks.

Don't want to end up like Oklahoma, need to be a complete team.
