Clemson vs Alabama
- Thread starter MLawrence
- Start date
Somewhere in a bar, Lane Kiffin is having a beer and a good laugh.
Not if the bama player recovered it while he was down. A great call but there definitely was some risk to it.
Great game!
It closely rivals the 2005 game when Texas beat USC.
Those 2 games are 1a and 1b in my book. (at least since I've been paying attention to college football)

Something about player safety (nevermind all the targeting that wasn't getting called).
That was the best result possible for college football. Now leave for the NFL Saban.
One of the best games I've seen and a rare time where the clear cut two best teams with little doubt faced off.
Clemson was the better all around team and eventually that was too much for Alabama to overcome with just great defense and a few big plays. The 3 and outs started piling up when they couldn't throw the ball or run for more than 3 yards consistently in the 3rd and 4th. It showed a lot of guts to even get that last touchdown but nobody could be shocked that Clemson would have a solid chance to score with 2 minutes and two timeouts.

There were a handful of no call PI plays on Alabama that thankfully didn't become a huge deal, a few of them were negated by Clemson catching the pass through the uncalled interference. One was just an atrociously bad call in an otherwise decently officiated game.
Hardly any holding calls, can't even remember one...I can only imagine how many holding calls we'd get against these teams.
Bama wins if Scarborough doesn't go out of the game.
Meh,
Bama was outgained by 150 yards, had a lot of no-calls go in their favor and had two turnovers. Clemson was the better team no matter how you slice it.

That "great" Alabama defense gave up 35 points, 31 first downs, and 511 yards. Reminds me of the "great" defenses in the B10.
I thought the same thing when Bama got called for the PI on the play right before the last play. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if that was Sabens plan, and it just wasn't executed on the last play.
They wouldn't do that since S.C. is already in. (Yes, I know other States have 2 schools in).
I was surprised the SEC didn't make a run at VT and see if they could somehow break away UNC but that's basically impossible.
Remember a year ago when the national media went off on how amazing Saban was and that he was the best coach of all time?
Not saying he isn't one of the all time greats, but it's just funny how if that last TD by Clemson is dropped/overthrown ect the narrative would change that drastically.

I think it was partially executed, the DB practically tackled the other receiver. They just couldn't get to Renfrow
Best game that meant something in a long time.
But as good as the game was, the better entertainment was to had on the SEC network after that touchdown. Finebaum, McFarland, and whoever the old AL QB was were pretty calm, but then they took calls. The calls were fantastic. They make the Hawkeye call in show after an ISU over Iowa victory seem like Rhodes scholars. Maybe I just like to hear a good meltdown more than others.
