Good thing Watson got back up

That fake...

Top 3, but it's impressive either way.

They're the #1 scoring and #2 total according to the stats shown before the game. Point is, clearly Bama has a great defense and he's controlling the game.

 

[DeepSpringsVol]

Yeah thats a play only Great ones make.

 

[Sandvol]

Have a heart attack Nick.

 

[Grand Vol]

Saban will never beat Butch in a headset toss and break.

Watson really is special. He's a more athletic, craftier version of the Chad Kelly that torched Bama.

 

[Vols4life]

This shouldn't be that surprising. Dabo has brought in 5-6 straight top 15 classes and several of those are top 10. They have the talent.

Yep! People can say the ACC sucks but their top two FSU and Clemson can play with anyone in the country

 

[bowlinggreenvol]

Damn Deshaun, stop being "not all you're cracked up to be" and play ball. 216 passing and 86 rushing, that's it?

 

[TrueOrange]

They're the #1 scoring and #2 total according to the stats shown before the game.

Yeah but they're also like #3 in points allowed per game and #17 in passing yards allowed per game.

Spurrier will always riegn supreme in the visor/headset combo toss.

People kept waiting for the typical Clemsoning. It never happened. Watson is the reason.

 

[Grand Vol]

Fowler is being a pure Bama homer here.

That wasn't a loss.

 

[TrueOrange]

Another Tiger hurt

 

[Vegas_Ferguson]

Tigers, Tigers, burning bright.

 

[YorkVol]

Nice power run for the td

 

[VolFootballnut]

Way to go Clemson keep taking it to Alabama:rock:

 

[ttocswob]

Clempson back in front...hope Dobbs plays like Watson next season.

 

[Grey_pilgrim]

There was your 'ran off da plug'.

 

[bowlinggreenvol]

Yeah but they're also like #3 in points allowed per game and #17 in passing yards allowed per game.

Is scoring defense not points allowed per game? ESPN may have their stats wrong but they said Bama has the #1 scoring defense. The 0'fer that MSU put up may have pushed them to the top spot.

Edit: with the MSU game accounted for Bama now has the #1 scoring defense, #2 total defense, #1 rush defense and #18 pass defense.

So Clemson and LSU share Tigers mascot and Death Valley moniker. But also that fight song.... is that the same too?

 

[Grey_pilgrim]

Clempson back in front...hope Dobbs plays like Watson next season.

Just needs to be consistent with his passing game. He's already every bit as good as a runner.

 

[Sandvol]

Tigers, Tigers, burning bright.

Tyger, tyger

 

[VolFootballnut]

Clempson back in front...hope Dobbs plays like Watson next season.

I wish he could pass like Watson:shakehead:

Yes, it's tiger rag, I believe.
