College Football Playoff Game Thread - ND/Clem & Bama/Okla

[ifmanis5]

Wow, this is amazing.

 

[Freddy Linn]

My goodness.

 

[PaulinMyrBch]

Rook shook of the rusty on those last 3 throws.

Clemson is tough when they line up 8 and 5 next to each other on the same side.

 

[DeadlySplitter]

I want to watch coaches' room, but it's the fucking MNF crew.

 

[PaulinMyrBch]

They keep saying Tua was fooled. who the fuck was the pass to tho. It was behind the out guy and the slant guy

I think Tua read hot route, receiver didn’t catch the blitz and they weren’t on same page. Cause I agree, zone, man, didn’t matter, pass wasn’t to a Bama player.

 

[PaulinMyrBch]

24 is Nolan Turner, son of former Patriot Kevin Turner who passed away of ALS. He and Dabo were big college friends. Just an FYI as I’m sure some are familiar.

 

[Ale Xander]

"DO YOUR JOB"

 

[ifmanis5]

Fowler is really fired up tonight.

 

[canderson]

These teams are light years better than anyone.

 

[McBride11]

He down. But almost no chance Clem stops them on 3 runs

 

[mauidano]

Defensive battle huh?

 

[McBride11]

He down. But almost no chance Clem stops them on 3 runs

I mean that is sort of correct. Didn't stop a single run

 

[staz]

DOINK CITY

 

[mauidano]

A Parkey!

 

[McBride11]

How'd Parkay get to SF so fast

 

[DeadlySplitter]

whoops.... and that's with the old rules!

 

[canderson]

Good news for Saban he has the #1 kicker coming in.

And like 26 other 5 star recruits lol.

 

[AMS25]

Defensive battle huh?

It's like a Big 12 game!

 

[Blue Monkey]

This game is going to take forever

 

[PaulinMyrBch]

Clemson missing Dexter Lawrence in the middle. 67 is capable, just not 340lbs.

 

[mauidano]

This game is going to take forever

It’s got mid-Summer MFY’s/Red Sox written all over it; four hours PLUS.

 

[McBride11]

Well don't get suspended for PEDs

Might take until Wednesday

I want Alabama to win, but the KT/Dabo/Nolan story is such that Clemson winning is ok with me.

More than ok actually.

 

[PaulinMyrBch]

Well don't get suspended for PEDs

Not complaining, just an observation. Bama is large up front.

 

[mauf]

Missed XP might have been a blessing in disguise. I think Saban settles for 3 if he’s got a reliable kicker.

Edit: Or maybe not.

 

[PaulinMyrBch]

Kicker is putting his stamp on this one.

 

[FenwayFrenzy]

I don’t think I am ever going to understand the helmet to helmet rule in CFB if the hit on the Clemson QB wasn’t it.

 

[McBride11]

Guess Clem's offense is the real deal. Thought were beating up some weak D

 

[CFB_Rules]

I don’t think I am ever going to understand the helmet to helmet rule in CFB if the hit on the Clemson QB wasn’t it.

Need an “indicator of targeting” basically has to be unusually hard contact.

 

[cshea]

Guess Herbie missed 4th and 2.

 

[mauf]

I don’t think I am ever going to understand the helmet to helmet rule in CFB if the hit on the Clemson QB wasn’t it.

Why call a foul on the defender and not on Lawrence? Both players lowered their heads simultaneously.

 

[Ale Xander]

Tim Hardaway called, he wants his cross-over back.

 

[Deathofthebambino]

That cut by Jacobs was ludicrous.

Tua picked off again.

 

[Ale Xander]

Two for Tua

 

[McBride11]

Well well well now. Clem could get a pretty good lead going here

 

[shawnrbu]

Herbie is the best.

 

[shawnrbu]

Does BB need to spend a draft pick on Renfro or will he be an UDFA?

 

[Ale Xander]

Renfrow is like a 7th year senior, right?

 

[Deathofthebambino]

If Bama doesn't get some pressure on Lawrence, this could be a long, long night for the Tide. He's good enough to pick anyone apart.

 

[Ale Xander]

Herbie is better than any pro analyst.

 

[canderson]

I did a great job forecasting this game, guys.

 

[Reggie's Racquet]

I did a great job forecasting this game, guys.

Hook’em!

 

[Dr. Winston O'Boogie]

Brady replacement

 

[BigSoxFan]

Not your night, Bama.

 

[Couperin47]

It takes the kind of security Dabo has at Clemson to 4 weeks into the season decide, hell yeah, hand over the whole program to a true freshman...how many coaches would ever do that...

 

[PaulinMyrBch]

Does BB need to spend a draft pick on Renfro or will he be an UDFA?

Draft pick.

Comps are probably Ryan Switzer (4th rd) and Braxton Berrios (6th rd). He doesn’t have Switz’s return game on his resume, but he’s a better receiver than both.

Teams have already been in contact with him pre-draft.

 

[ernieshore]

Andy Grammer and Imagine Dragons on the same night. That’s about as bad as it gets for me.

 

[Clears Cleaver]

So this will be the last pass-first offense saban ever allows again, I’m guessing. He’s always played it safe figuring his other21 were better than your 21 so as long as his QB didn’t f up,he’d win. So he’d only lose when the opposing qb had all time games.

Tua throwing two picks might be the end of this little modern era football experiment in Tuscaloosa unless he brings them back

 

[Dr. Winston O'Boogie]

This great Bama D has been torched by UGA, OU, and now Clemson. I'm sure they could take down the Arizona Cardinals though.
