*~*~*CLEMSON vs. ALABAMA in game thread*~*~*

[champlain]

I hope this moves watson ahead of those 2 clowns Kizer and trubisky on draft boards....it has to.

haha, if so called nfl scouts don't have the foresight to have Watson number one even after last year's performance, what makes you think they will like him now? Don't forget, scouts are self-important and know more than you. luckily, nfl teams make their own evaluations and Watson will be chosen first.

Pretty amazing how so much went right for Clemson in the 4th. Don't get me wrong, Bama choked

But from 2 pick plays for TDs and neither getting called, to miracle receptions that land right into out of control receivers laps, and then a PI penalty that happened at the 2 yd line called to have occurred in the end zone so instead of half the distance it's placed at the 2 yd line, you Clemson ML backers got an absolute gift, congrats!

Interesting I haven't seen any talk about what a difference Scarbrough leaving the game made.

Looking at my betting account after this weekend and giving it the we will not stand down speech that the president gave the people in Independence Day.

Huuuge difference

If Williams stays out and Scarbrough stays in, obviously huge. Sucks for Scarbrough after that first half. Just part of the game...obviously a gigantic factor in the lack of offense in the 2nd half for Bama.

Good Call

It was just a fluke game.

Clemson was -2 in turnovers.
They got outrushed 221 to 91.

And still win the game. One of those everything else had to go right for Clemson to win,and it did. You get those stats in 10 other games and Bama wins 9 of them.

Nick Saban had been 40-0 at Alabama when he's +2 in turnovers.

Think Scarbrough will go top 10 in draft in 2018?

[CTOWNsCAPPIN]

Clemson D in second half is enough said.

[spro23]

Scarbrough got injured because their offense relies on him too much.

Freshman qb

[Art Vandelay]

Clemson ran 98 plays! Bama's "vaunted" defense was gassed. Gave up 21 in the 4th Q alone. Only gave up more than 21 in an entire game twice all season... Post-game Saban had the same look that all the news anchors had the night Trump won the election! Classic

[Art Vandelay]

Still think Dabo is a major douchebag

Compared to Saban and Meyer, not even close!

Yeah but Clemson outpassed them 420 to 155. All Bama's scores were off of big plays where Clemson's D had breakdowns while Clemson was putting together drives to score and had horrible field position all game long. Clemson's punter is pathetic and gave Bama good field position. While Bama has a really good punter. Clemson should have won by more.

[Mac4Lyfe]

Bama's offense had a stretch where they went 3 and out 10 straight times in that 2nd half. Most of those 3 and outs were stupid passes that stopped the clock. Clemson dominated time of possession. That will wear out any defense.

Nick Saban was 97 - 0 when leading by 10+ entering the 4th quarter... Oops.

[fecgp40]

Scarbrough got injured because their offense relies on him too much.

Well, interesting point. I don't think that is why he got injured but it certainly increases his exposure to injury. I was on Clemson ML, so obviously happy with the outcome. I think Scarbrough being out was a game changer.

[fecgp40]

Think Scarbrough will go top 10 in draft in 2018?

I doubt it. There's kind of a stigma about Alabama RB's. Plus NFL teams have been trending away from drafting RB's high.

[Plaza23]

now 40-1.. if stat correct that is jaw dropping

Nick Saban had only lost 1 other game in his entire coaching career (Michigan State, LSU, Dolphins, Alabama) when he's been at least +2 in turnovers. It was a Dolphins-Texans game from 2006.
