January 8, 20197 yr Clemson has been very fortunate. In they have won so many replays in these playoffs, that really would have changed momentum for the other teams.
January 8, 20197 yr Author Another TD what a throw I think this game is officially over 44-16 Clemson with :21 seconds left in the third quarter.
January 8, 20197 yr All these players making plays tonight for Clemson. Are basically back for at least 2 more years. While their defense may take a step back, who is going to stop this offense. Wow!
January 8, 20197 yr I expected a high scoring game so I’m not surprised by Clemson scoring but I’m surprised Alabama can’t score.
January 8, 20197 yr Man this really might get out of hand One can only hope. I'm hopeful Clemson hangs half-a-hundred on ol' Nicky tonight.
January 8, 20197 yr Two things are very clear which was already known. The Clemson defense is awesome and Dabo obviously made a good quarterback switch when he did. And Lawrence has pretty much locked a #1 draft pick whenever he heads out for the draft.
January 8, 20197 yr I think the one thing this game is showing. Is that Notre Dame did in deed belong. They just happened to be playing by far the best team in the country in Clemson. Right now Clemson is putting it on the team people said all year couldn't be beat. The ND defense was legit. No doubt about it. The offense just doesn’t seem on the same level as the other 3 playoff teams. But outside of these 2 teams every single team had noticeable flaws. ND struggled offensively at times. Oklahoma and Ohio State didn’t play defense. Georgia was probably the most well balanced of the rest of the group, but they had their chance and lost their 2 biggest games (now 3 biggest games of the year). Does ND belong with Clemson and Alabama? No. Did they belong in the playoff? Yes.
January 8, 20197 yr Just go ahead and pencil Clemson into the playoff next year as the 1 seed. Obviously with this young talent they would be heavy favorites in every game anyways, but I just peeked at that schedule and yikes. Texas A&M at home is the only game I see that could even possibly challenge them.
January 8, 20197 yr Just ABSOLUTELY OUT COACHED. I can't remember ever seeing a Nick Saban coached Alabama team look this bad. A lot of it has been the scheme and play calling of Clemson. It has that feeling that the constant assistant coach carousel for Alabama due to their overwhelming success has finally caught up to them.
