We had better players and they got out coached??

I would have run their RBs down our throat...

But they couldn’t get our boy, I like to think that was emotion over talent, but I think we were better, in the final result, they were out coached too, if they wervup 16, OVER, spot us OVER, period.

Alabama lost by 28; Notre.Dame by 27. Clearly Alabama, like Notre Dame, did not belong in the playoffs. Should have been Ohio State in the playoffs, despite Clemsoning against Purdue....

Well. As I always say.
Offense and defense wins championships.

Well you're half right. That's pretty good for you.
Yep. Offense won that Championship.

The Clemson defense with their two interceptions and stuffing the Bama offense when it mattered won that championship. Holding Bama to only 4 YPC under their 5.2 ypc avg, no run longer than 15 yards. Holding the Bama offense to 30 points under their seasonal average. Clemson's offense while great merely did what they have done all year long. In fact the Tigers offense averaged 44.3 ppg and scored basically that same exact amount in this game.

Bama's defense failed. Clemson's defense was superb.

But feel free to be wrong and disagree. :-)

Once again it was Clemson's defense that won that ND game as they manhandled and dominated the Irish. Venables is awesome.

Yup-that Clemson's D basically pitched a shut-out for 3 qtrs was pretty impressive and sucked the life out of Bama.

ClemSIN's offensive dominance put pressure on the Alabama offense that caused them to make.changes to their game plan that served Bama poorly. Do you think Bama tries a fake field goal if the score is 21 - 16? It is one of those things, like an onside kick, that you suspect Bama players have a merely theoretical knowledge of. If it is.a.close game, do they eschew field goals in the second half? 37 offensive points against Ala fucking bama? Who does that?

Defense wins championships the same way offense wins championships. You need enough offense to win with your defense and enough defense to win with your offense. ClemSIN was dominant on both sides of the ball. They had offense and defense to spare. To say one side of the ball won this championship does a tremendous disservice to the other side.

They also scored 30 against a pretty good defense.

As to  Venable I would point out ClemSIN had the single best unit in CFB this year in its defensive line. Much easier to game 0lan when you do not have to blitz to get consistent pressure or cheat safeties up.

Who was calling the plays for Bama ?  I doubt they got on the plane back home and if he did I wonder if he got off.


Maryland's next head coach.  He of the 3-31 career record.

That game flipped in the 2nd qtr when after a 3 and out, Bama drove to the 1, but Clemson held Bama to a FG.

I thought a TD there and the game might have taken a differnt path

After the stop, Clemson answers with a TD

and then a pick

and they score again.

my two scents: game over in the 2nd qtr on Clemson's D.

YMMV

But yes the kid from Dazed and Confused is special

Key Stat to Clemson’s dominance: 10 of 15 third down conversions.

 On nine of those attempts the Tigers faced third and SEVEN and made them ALL on pass plays. Trevor Lawrence was unbelievable throwing for 240 yards on third down making 7 first downs and two touchdowns!
