I don’t think you can combine these 2 secondaries and beat Bama.

Smith may very well catch for 250 yards against either one of these two.

can beat Bama

I don’t know. I have heard all season that Trevor Lawrence is the best College QB and the Number 1 pick in draft, but it looks like Ohio State not only has a defense that can shut him down, they have the better QB. 35 might be enough for Ohio State to win this thing.

OSU offense will move the ball on Bama but Bama Defense will stop OSU when needed. I don't think OSU will be able to stop Bama's offense enough to win. Bama will skull drag Clemson.

If OSU plays like this, they can have a chance. I still don’t believe in Alabama’s defense and Fields and Sermon can put op points on them.

Fields isn’t close to Lawrence

OSU has a chance if they play like this. I hate Bama but unfortunately OSU is one of four teams I hate worse.

Ohio State can beat Bama. I had to turn the sound off on my TV, couldn't take listing to Kirk Herbstreit's loud orgasms after every big Buckeye play...dude can't hide being a huge Homer.

Bama has three offensive players I would take before before anyone in this game. I hate Bama like no other but their QB, RB and WR combo is really, really good.

Yes, even over Trevor Lawrence. He is really good but I like Jones better.

I would make Najee Harris #1 if I were a GM. He has everything you are looking for in an NFL RB.

You would be fired immediately if you took jones over Lawrence or fields. Lol, are you serious?

Yea Fournette was an exception. There's such an abundance of good running backs that they aren't getting drafted as much in the first round anymore these days.

There’s still one or two that go in the first round about every year. I’d bet Najee Harris goes in the 1st round this year.

Nobody can match the talent Saban's boosters have recruited. Why even have a championship with the deck stacked so completely? It is like college teams playing against the NFL.

You are right and it's almost always a mistake. They add very little value above a lower draft pick or veteran free agent. The only exception might be for a Kamara, Mccaffrey pass catcher type.

I think most top 15 RB selections hurt the team more than help. They get hurt. Have a short shelf life. And you run the ball more than necessary.

Not a single one of those first round draft picks is in the top 30 in YPC this season.

Come back in a couple of years. Lawrence has not faced adversity except for Bama. The pros won't be like that.

He is talented but nearly every time there has been a QB with this much hype they have bombed gloriously in the pros. It will take a couple of years for him to have the team around him to produce. He has a fantastic arm but he hasn't been hit in college like he will in the pros.

Where did I say I wanted Fields?

Bama has opened -7 for those that think it won’t be close.

Take Bama and give the points. The fix will be in with the zebras; that's always a given with Bama. That UC they called on Saban yesterday was all for show and when the game was already decided.

​I feel more like I do now than I did when I got here.
