Alabama-Clemson Sugar Bowl Thread

Someone has to...Roll Tide
Maybe next year we can get two Big Ten teams and two SEC teams :)
Whatever kills the 4 team playoff makes me happy
 
Clemson's D is getting zero penetration and Hurts has the extra year of experience to carve that up. This one might not be close and send everyone to bed by halftime.
 
Ugh. If Bama wins the narrative will be that the SEC is the best conference in the world and maybe they should get 4 invites to the "playoff".

Then someone needs to step up and beat them when it matters. Ohio State did it the first year in the semis. Clemson did it last year. Hopefully we do it next year.
 
Bama is “fresh”. Saban has put the off time to good use and Dabbo misses Desean. I smell a beat-down
 
Saban has been the undisputed best coach for 9 years. If you put them in the playoffs, they can win it. Clemson had to adjust at halftime last year.
 
Did I just hear correctly that Clemson has 0 yards at the end of the 1st quarter?

Even though Auburn, the #3 team in the conference, lost to UCF.
 
Nice work by the zebras to be blind to the Bama DB grabbing the receiver's arm as he was going up to make the catch attempt.

A lot of people had Georgia dead in the water down 31-14 with time running out in the first half. Lots of time left.


Oklahoma fans will be furious at the short kickoff after they scored their TD with 30 seconds left in the half. If they kick it deep that’s the half. Instead it’s a short kick and Georgia gets a FG right before half. Those 3 points were huge late in the game.

The squib kick idea wasn't terrible, it was just poorly executed or plain unlucky. Was hit right at the up back and he made the scoop on it. And then OU's defense went into prevent mode and allowed UGA to get the 9 yards needed for that FG attempt.
 
What a difference between listening to Herbie vs. Blackledge for an “analyst’s perspective”.

Kept waiting for the flag on that too. Then figuring maybe I missed where he turned to look for the ball. . . But nothing!! That would be defensive holding for a “lesser” team.

Kind of like the last kickoff by OSU in the PSU game when Juwan Johnson fielded it like a shortstop on the PSU 40 yard line.

McSorley had more than a minute and at least two TOs to work his magic down only 1 but it wasn't to be that night.

It's cute to watch teams try to run wide against the speed of Bama's defense.

The design of their defense is very amazing. They pressure, they keep everything in front of them, they substitute a lot, and everyone is fast/strong. They don't look like the team Auburn beat by 12. Bryant has not been comfortable yet. Stidham was very comfortable, but his run game was working.
