I just pray he doesn't replace Saban

He already has a program on par with them that he built himself.

No.

 

[volinbham]

Why?

I think LSU's offense is considerably more dynamic than OSU's and the defense while not as strong is not far off.

 

[ABINGDON VOL FAN]

Clemson has more of championship game experience. Both players and definitely the coaches.

I just pray he doesn't replace Saban

Why would he? He's recruiting at the same level as Bama (arguably better) and he has a much easier path to the CFP..

 

[LittleVol]

Yeah no other coach or athlete ever does that.

Clemson isn't playing every other coach or athlete tonight.

So what's your point??

Just trying to start stuff for no reason??

Let it go...

No.

He's a Bammer. They'll go after him hard when Saban retires.

He played for Bama.

 

[volfanhill]

Maybe because Dabo is openly acknowledging Him.

Yes bc he’s the only coach who does that

 

[JCHateSteve]

. I got Clemson Dabo is a SEC killer he will be motivated

I expect it to be a slobber knocker. But LSU is on another level offensively. It will come down to Clemson's defense. I don't see anybody beating LSU in a shootout.

Look up, it just flew over your head.

But the refs took a touchdown from Ohio State. I wanted Clemson to win and despise Ohio State but they were robbed of 7 points. Not saying they would of won but it definitely changed the course of the game if not the outcome.

Absolutely. If that ball had been caught in the endzone and then stripped it would’ve been a td for Clemson. Where you catch the ball shouldn’t dictate whether or not it’s a catch.

 

[GVol1966]

Nailed it!

Yeah, I questioned that “fields is better than Lawrence” statement earlier

 

[feathersax]

Ehh, his WR completely stopped running on that last pass lol

STILL can't believe that. Looked like a sure td if that Ohio State receiver hadn't just stopped & fallen down.

 

[VolsSportsFan]

Yes bc he’s the only coach who does that

Now you did it.

 

[BigOrangeAl 1979]

Clemson and Dabo isn’t afraid of the big bad SEC or LSU or Burrow. Oklahoma was a joke a 12-1 Ole Miss basically. LSU and Burrow will have a much tougher time against Clemson.

 

[hUTch2002]

I’m guessing LSU will be about a 6 point favorite to open.

Then why did you talk up OU before the LSU game?

Zero chance Dabo leaves Clemson for Bama. Bama literally offers no incentive that Clemson can’t offer Dabo.

He’s built an annual championship program. Why would he leave for another championship program where he would live in Saban’s shadow until he won 4-5 natty’s at Bama?

Bama offers nothing to Dabo.

less than TD favorite fo sho

They'd be stupid not to try, but Dabo is no Urban or Saban that says what they need to say then cut and run.

He was a WR coach that Clemson promoted from within with ZERO HC experience and he's brought them to greatness. True greatness. And they gave him his one shot.
God's blessed him for it.

Not to mention it's a less competitive conference and easier path.

[Orange_Vol1321]

Clemson will beat LSU

 

[hUTch2002]

less than TD favorite fo sho

Agreed. And I’d put money on LSU at that. I know Clemson has the experience but LSU just looks like a different animal this year.

No 1 seed has ever won the playoff
