This game is like Jeff Bridges speech last night at the Golden Globes. Crazy and with no idea of when it will end.

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
Tua's given 7 to Clemson and a short field, but it's not just his fault they're down by two scores.

Rule is "rushing unabated can hit him forcibly at or below the knee"

He hit at the top part of his knee, where the patella inserts on the quad. Just because he struck the ball that Tua was holding low shouldn't matter as far as I can tell as the below are the exceptions

  • the passer becomes a runner, either inside or outside the tackle box;
  • the defender grabs or wraps the passer in an attempt to make a conventional tackle;
  • the defender is not rushing unabated or is blocked or fouled into the passer.

No, he really didn't.

It wasn’t a low hit by any definition. Move on.

How much money is Alabama going to offer Dabo when Saban retires?
Dabo should never leave and I think he's smart enough to know that.

These two programs are a cut above everyone else in college football and should play each other every year.

How many players are on these rosters now? Looks like a major traffic jam in the tunnels to the locker rooms.

I think Trevor Lawrence could step in right now and start for a good number of NFL teams right now and be a top 15 QB. He makes every throw, great arm strength, poised, and has NFL size/strength at 19. He’s a shoo in for the 1 pick in 2 years.

This is fucking awful. Does anyone actually even care about these performances? Shits really getting played out. Bring out the marching bands. I’d rather watch that than this pathetic shit
