National Title Game Thread

[McBride11]

All it took was the safety running towards the line and Clem got all confused

 

[Infield Infidel]

PAPI

 

[HriniakPosterChild]

Just like that

 

[McBride11]

I think that's the 3rd time a player has been described as ornery

 

[normstalls]

Anyone else trying to watch via watchESPN app? Mine just took a dump on me. Been down for about 10 minutes.

 

[Ale Xander]

Scarborough is killing the Tigers

 

[canderson]

Alabama is physically murdering Clemson.

 

[RedOctober3829]

Bama looks to be on a mission.

 

[PedroKsBambino]

Alabama is physically murdering Clemson.

Yeah, this is 'men vs boys' at the line.

 

[HriniakPosterChild]

Scarborough is killing the Tigers

Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme

 

[BigSoxFan]

Bama
Pats
Duke
Warriors

It's going to be a tough year for American sports fans.

 

[canderson]

Yeah, this is 'men vs boys' at the line.

And in the backfield. And in the flats.

 

[dcmissle]

Starting to resemble that Bears-Pats Super Bowl.

 

[PedroKsBambino]

When Bama passes Clemson can compete and hold them. I kind of wonder if Bama shouldn't be 75% or more run going forward

 

[McBride11]

That is OPI

 

[Infield Infidel]

Yeah that looked like OPI

 

[PedroKsBambino]

Agreed---should have been OPI

 

[RedOctober3829]

Much needed

 

[Ale Xander]

We have a game

 

[HriniakPosterChild]

I don't get that kickoff

 

[Marciano490]

I want that guy on the Pats.

 

[Thetoddwalker]

Gotta throw that away.

 

[shawnrbu]

Not letting Hurts throw the ball the rest of the Half. Run the ball and take a lead into the Half.

 

[Dr. Gonzo]

Alabama has to try play action on first down. Clemson seems like they have 9 in the box.

Another run. Understand it's been working but Clemson has zero reason to respect the passing game at this point.

 

[shawnrbu]

Nice fair catch lol.

 

[McBride11]

Classic running backwards over the shoulder fair catch inside the 5

 

[Thetoddwalker]

Wow, that was dumb. At least he didn't Mardy Fish it.

 

[mikeot]

Nice fair catch lol.

Thought that was Bama's speciality

 

[RedOctober3829]

Bobby Rainey playing tonight?

 

[DennyDoyle'sBoil]

Special teams. So big. Clemson also should have made sure Alabama used all three time outs.

 

[PedroKsBambino]

Did not like the first down pass call---should have run for clock reasons

 

[Infield Infidel]

That out pattern for a first down was an NFL throw.

Lucky on the next pass deflection though

 

[Marciano490]

Damn, this ref could squash Hochuli.

 

[McBride11]

Does that ref practice his arm motions / flexing in the mirror prior to this game?

 

[shawnrbu]

This is where you go for your best punt block. Don't got much to lose if you rough the punter.

 

[Infield Infidel]

Good quick kick from the punter

 

[shawnrbu]

I don't get why you don't throw a bomb there.

 

[HriniakPosterChild]

The QB was playing in high school last year and is really unreliable at long distance throws

 

[InstaFace]

That was the most forthcoming "going-into-halftime interview" I've seen a coach give, from Swinney. Saban, like the rest of them, was on the Belichick scale.

 

[bankshot1]

Dabo shouldn't bitch about field position, he gave Bama the field position

 

[Thetoddwalker]

Clemson needs to get innovative and put the pressure on Hurts. I think they can turn the tides like OSU did two years ago.

 

[Drocca]

Does anyone know what class the Alabama QB is?

 

[nolasoxfan]

Alabama is physically murdering Clemson.

Some questionable non-calls, though. Helmet to helmet hit on M. Williams and a couple of hits to Watson’s head. Those are penalties in the NFL, but not in the NCAA?

Friggin fumble....

 

[canderson]

Who needs a QB when you have that defense?

 

[McBride11]

Wait, the Bama D didn't score? Strange

 

[Dr. Gonzo]

This Alabama offense is being bailed out by their D. Clemson still very much alive.

 

[DennyDoyle'sBoil]

Hurts threw for 2600 yards and 22 TDs this year. I know the competition in the playoffs is better, but he could win the National Championship reasonably easily and barely throw for 100 yards in the two playoff games combined.

 

[bankshot1]

semi-squander

That ball appeared to hit the ground
