NC Game Thread: Clemson (14-0) vs Alabama (13-1), 8:30 pm ESPN

[jvol1]

Many teams seem to make lots of mistakes playing Bama. Never be a fan, but they are a really good team.

 

[Dobbs 4 Heisman]

I'm confused... Didn't you say not too long ago that Watson couldn't hold a candle to Dobbs (my interpretation, not your exact words)???

I trust Dobbs with running but certainly not throwing at this point.

I said Dobbs had better potential because of his better physical gifts. He's taller, stronger, and faster. But right now Watson is clearly the more developed passer. Running wise I give Josh the edge.

Watson's an inch shorter, outweighs Dobbs and his rushing stats disagree that Dobbs is the better runner.

4100 yards passing and 1100 yards rushing; Watson is a special talent.

He is incredible.

Dobbs is great but he isn't on Watson's level right now. I'm not sure anyone in the college ranks is.

Tom Brady doesn't hold a candle to Josh Dobbs, bro

What is wrong with you?

If Henry is on the board for the Titans pick in the 2nd round, should take him just because of how big he looks next to Mark Ingram. Photoshop for days.

You could have Eric Dickerson in the backfield and he would struggle behind that line. Henry wont project as a great NFL running back.

Clemson was the more explosive team, but Bama played with more discipline and that was the difference.

2 turnovers for Clemson vs 0 for Alabama
2 Blown coverages on Howard leading to scores
2 Special teams miscues with the onside kick and allowed kick return TD

On, and on and on....

Dabo did a good job, but he was out coached. Having players sent out for failed drug test at this point is totally unacceptable. Saban was prepared for all facets of the game on field and off.

What a game. Way closer than I expected, but I'll take it.

Yeah but fantasy owners will love him. You know NFL coaches once inside the 5 would love letting Henrys big frame pushing it for the TD. TD vulture. Lol

If that line could actually block (remotely) well enough.


Without an even decent o-line, he can be that size and they'd unfortunately not be getting those points...and they'd have to consider passing rather than running as the year went on (by no fault of Henry's).

Lol fair enough.
