National Championship Game Thread

I think Alabama is as good as people give them credit for. Not as dominating as past Alabama teams but better than most of college football this year. So so offense but very very good defense. I just think Clemson is better than people have given them credit for. Some here were comparing them to FSU last year and painting them as a poser ACC team before the playoffs started and I said I think they're better than FSU. I think people were also discounting their defense which I thought was good too. So they have both a good offense and defense and a type offense and mobile qb which Alabama has shown the potential to have trouble with judging by their losses in the recent past.

agree. people think bama of old = today's team. not so.
clemson's D is legit. they are fast but also big and are not getting pushed around by the bama O line. i don't know what year Watson is in, but boy he is good.
 
Oh wow conservative Nick Saban with the gamble. I wouldn't have expected that from him, nice call.
 
And people thought the tight end position was dead. Clemson must not have practiced against one.
 
not sure about that. bama is a 1 loss team. think OSU beats either of these two.
I don't know. The way OSU played during the year I'd say no but the way they played at the end of the year I'd say they'd have a good chance to make a game of it as well but I wouldn't guarantee a win.
 
This is a classic game to this point. I hope the last eight minutes (or more?) live up to it.
 
I think that KO return COULD be the nail in the coffin. Likely 11 point lead now. Clemson really going to have to step it up now.
 
I think any sort of score here is a must on this drive. Without that then I think the window will likely close. Well they are an uptempo team so they have the potential to do it.
 
Well they should have a good chance at a FG at the very least so that keeps their hopes alive assuming they come away with at least 3.
 
Now it's up to the D to get the ball back. Will Saban be willing to throw it at all or just feed it to Henry?

No blown coverages please.
 
Oh man. Conservative play but in the air. Nice call by Kiffin. Well now have to hold them to a FG.
 
The DB losing contain on Howard for the long run after the catch was the play of the game.

How do you call it a TD that late after the play??

Might have been a late call but it was a TD seen from that pylon cam.
 
Yawn Alabama wins another nc. They're just totally dominating the sec at this point like never before. LSU and auburn fans must hate it.
 
One of the best, if not the best National Championship game in a long long time. Both teams deserve a lot of credit for bringing the very best. In the end Alabama was just a little bit better.

Terrific play calling by Lane Kiffin.

You've barely finished your slice of humble pie after being embarrassingly premature with your rout prediction and you're already faking a yawn about the game?

Envy has never been so poorly hidden.
