Couple things. First congrats to Clemson. They played a good game and won. WHile i do think the sccore did not show how close the teams were clemson clearly was a better team. unlike baseball its one game. Would clemson beat alabama 2 out of 3? I dont think many would think they could. couple things did not help
1, for some reason alabama would rather have 10 quarterbacks on scholarship, 6 of which will never see the field that give a kicker a scholarship. As good as Alabama is they should have of of the best kickers year in and out. yes it is much harder to adjust to kicking off hte ground than a tee, but they use the ground at junior colleges. I really think the missed PAT, concern over inconsistincy in being able to play for field goals ( most teams figure we at least get three. Bama had to play for touchdowns and clemson knew it hence alabama got int the red zone. Clemson was giving up the plays for them to get down there just not in the end zone. There is no reason alabama should not be able to get a kicker that does not kick out of bounds and miss extra points. They should also be able to find someone that can hit inside of 45 yards at a 90% rate and 50 yards at least 20-30% of the time. The punter also sucked this year compared to what htey should be able to get.
2 I like Hurts. He would not have done any better.
3 that fake field goal was a bonehead play.
4 alabama has still won 17 national championships, been in the game the last 4 years and won a bowl game and SEC championship this year and puts ore players in the pros. I would call it a good season still.
Yeah yeah excuses. At the end of the day they lost and in my eyes the team with the most points wins. And we ain’t talking bout the pass we talking bout this class of players. Go
Bama had a good season but Clemson put a whooping on them
Been hearing Bama fans making excuses all day but all the excuses don’t change the fact that Clemson won by 28 points
I love all the alabama excuses, they were handed their ass and in no way could beat Clemson this year. So last year they shared the Championship with Central FL and this year got beat bad...lol
