National Championship thread

I expect Bama to man-handle Clemson tonight. I think Clemson has several talented playmakers, but Bama is too strong across the board.

 

[chicolby]

Bama is favored by 7 and I think the spread should be closer to 3 or 3.5. Usually when I'm that far away from the spread, Vegas knows more than I do. My heart and gut says to take Clemson, but my brain says Bama wins and covers.

 

[huskerssalts]

In my opinion Bama has had troubles against a top level spread offense that has a mobile QB, if Clemsons QB is a dual threat guy, Bama may fall tonight. Im a Tigers fan tonight, Bama needs to fall on there asses like USC did after there recent run of success.

...and I'd be just fine with that. Love watching a dual-threat guy pull out the upset.

Clemson has one of the best if not the best dual threat QB.

For some reason it feels like this is the matchup ESPN wanted. I wish they could both lose.

 

[bigboxes]

Be great if Clemson would win. I would rathered Michigan State have won, but you see how that went down.

 

[newAD]

I might have lost my mind if Bama picked up another 3rd down conversion.

 

[Lincoln100]

As good as last years final 4 was, this years is equally as bad. Couldn't care less about this game.

 

[Redblood23]

I forgot this game tonight.. If it wasn't for sports radio I would have missed it.. That being said, as much as I hate spread teams I hope Clemson wins..

 

[newAD]

That was some nice looking baton twirlers.

 

[newAD]

SOB!

Bye Clemson.

 

[bigboxes]

SOB!

Bye Clemson.

You were saying?

 

[GretnaShawn]

Order restored.

 

[newAD]

You were saying?

No one is happier than me!!!!!!

 

[bigboxes]

I think we have two really good teams

 

[newAD]

Bama shopping list: Buy another kicker.

 

[bigboxes]

Clemson's quarterback is awesome

 

[newAD]

Go Tigers!

 

[GretnaShawn]

This is fun.

Roll Tide.
My second favorite team.
Ease up on me. Most of my family is from Alabama.

 

[c2o]

I still have a problem with Clemson.
Perry Tuttle....

Well, since you have a legit reason and aren't a bandwagon jumper.....ok. Laughing

 

[JohnRossEwing]

Watching Bama's statue QB...I just can't see why any coach would want that...

Also...does the SEC have one QB that runs? Dak, maybe?

 

[Lincoln100]

Hate Alabama, mostly because it's not fair

 

[Lincoln100]

But probably hate Clemson more, mostly because of Dabo

 

[RedSea_rivals91325]

Definitely a lively affair isn't it? I was sort of expecting a defensive standoff, but it's boom, boom, boom.

 

[SeaOfRed75]

Am I the only one that thinks Derek Henry wont do much as a pro? He will bull some over but I see a short injury plagued career.

Are you a bag man? Winking

I think he has Trent Richardson written all over him...

 

[huskerssalts]

In college football if you have a pro style QB who isn't mobile then you have to have a great Oline if you want to be one of the top teams that is. If your line usnt very good, your going to grt your butts kicked against a good defense.

 

[BornNBredRed]

The holding on Bama's last passing play that got them to the 2 yard line was as obvious as it can ever be. A 320 lb lineman spun the guy around with a headlock out in space, at the point of attack. You cannot miss that.

Why don't you like Dabo?

 

[newAD]

I'd say like Earl Campbell...but he isn't that good.

and Mark Ingram, Jr from 2009. Tons of hype at Alabama by ESPN and then don't do much in the NFL. So if Henry does the same, 3 makes a trend...

 

[SeaOfRed75]

I'd say like Earl Campbell...but he isn't that good.

Its that 6'3" vs 5'11" of Campbell. Much higher running. Much bigger chance of injury.

 

[newAD]

4th and a gut to go.

 

[SeaOfRed75]

Why isnt that clock running reviewable? Clock operator usually an NFL guy or have money on Bama?

Bingo!

Let the conspiracy theories begin!

 

[VandalHuskerJulie]

Pretty exciting first half. Hoping for a Clemson win. (Hey, I spent over 10 years living in SC and always cheered for the Tigers over the Game Cocks so there's a reason for my preference.)
