🏈 GAME THREAD No. 1 Alabama Falls to No. 2 Clemson in 2019 College Football Playoff National Championship Game, 44-16

[jlabit]

We've got a freshman quarterback who is susceptible to pressure, but is getting none. He is going to beat us every time with the time we are giving him. What I wouldn't give to have Smart or Pruitt on the sideline right now.

We better hope the headlines tomorrow read, "It Was a Tale of two Halves" because we came out and dominated in the second half.

Right now we are getting out played and out coached plan and simple. Saban better rip some ass at halftime.

Clemson ain't this good.

Unless the shoe is on the other foot. If we were in Clemson's place going into this game #2, underrated, expected to lose, and pulled off that first half .... I reeeeeally doubt you'd be saying " We're under rated".
Dude you'd yellin' stuff like "We're playin' the game we all knew we could play! We got this!!" Come on... be fair. Clemson prepared and even Saban said so...they are using plays CNS hadn't prepared for.

We're playing as bad as the halftime show.

 

[alabamajack]

Not sure what's worse, all the mental mistakes the first half, or this halftime show

LMFAO

Just wondering if he can kick or play db

 

[jlabit]

I don't understand the "they are using plays we haven't practiced for". The whole issue to me is that their freshman quarterback has all day in the pocket to find a receiver .

 

[bamatommy]

Clemson has 27 yards rushing at the half but they lead by 15. They have 197 yards passing and that's what is killing the Tide, that and the mistakes (including turnovers).

Put him on punt team. He can yell at the returner.

That's the whole thing. He has had zero pressure. He needs to see the ground a lot next half.

This half-time show is horrendous.

LOL. I know right.

OK. I am going to play Battlefield V and only keep up through this forum for the second half. Worked against UGA in the SECCG so let's try it here.

I agree...

We’ve made way too many mistakes. Credit to CU for taking advantage and having a scheme that has confused our D....

We’ve moved the ball well and should have more points ourselves... but again mistakes.

Issue will be that up by 12 gives CU freedom to gamble and play Agressive/Loose. We need to take advantage of that and claw back into it.

With respect I will have to disagree with you. Other #92 the rest of these people are just good and not great. We needed #13 to play well to match the scores but he has elected to shite the bed tonight. This game is one Clemson TD away from really getting out of hand.

Dafuq is tosh doing?

Sell out, bring 6 every time..
Rushing 4 isn't doing it.

My question why do they keep taking Quinnen out on third downs? Makes no sense, especially when you're not willing to bring extra rushers.

He DEMANDS doubeteams in every snap.

That frees up an extra rusher. We should leave him in and at least bring 5.

Of all our missteps (other than the halftime show), Bama leaving the run at midfield when we had the chance to deplete their line. A chance at a killing blow, they wouldn't have been the same the rest of the game, and we wing it long into coverage.
