Game Thread: CFP NCG: LSU vs Clemson (7pm CST | ESPN)

[Probius]

I'm watching the data center, but they put Herbie in for a few seconds. He really is a homer for Clemson tonight.

Welp probably a nail biter now. Not sure I want to hang in.

I watched Finebaum at halftime, and they said Burrow wasnt in the locker room with the team very long at halftime. They showed him on the bike. Is he injured?

They were discussing whether Burrow may have gotten hurt on that last TD pass he threw. D lineman fell square on him after hitting him on the pass and trapped his arm.

I believe Burrow is hurt significantly...

 

[Bazza]

Heck of a game!!!

Herbie says, "If you're a Clemson fan," and forgot to add "like me"....

One thing is for sure. To stop either of these type offenses you HAVE to be able to make constant adjustments on the fly.

Agree and this is why our overly complicated system has hurt us in big games lately....

It takes us way too long to communicate and we get caught in transition way too often trying to shift and substitute.

If it’s tied 38-38, I still want Clemson to lose with one second left on a pick play.

I'm rooting for Clemson, but it wouldn't hurt my feelings if that happened. That would definitely be Karma.

Am I the only one who recognizes that Venables blitzes on 3rd down about 85% of the time?

 

[glasscutter256]

Statement drive. LSU needs to respond right here.

 

[crimson fan man]

Man Clemson just walk down the field and walk away with 8 points. Lsu don't need to lose focus.

If it’s tied 38-38, I still want Clemson to lose with one second left on a pick play.

I like your result better...

He got nailed on that last TD pass to Moss. Ribs might be bruised pretty good. We'll see how that affects him throwing.

 

[Go Bama]

Am I the only one who recognizes that Venables blitzes on 3rd down about 85% of the time?

Maybe. Looks to me like he blitzes more often than not on any down.

2016: were gonna lose until they broke bo scarbough’s leg

2019: were gonna lose until they hurt dobbin’s ankle and were going to lose again until they broke burrow’s ribs

It’s one thing to have a bias, it’s another to be openly cheerleading for one team.

I agree. I think we need some simplification that frees up our guys to just let it rip. Yes, we'll give up some plays here and there, but we'll make more than we give up, in my opinion. Of course, I'm sure Coach Saban knows a whole lot more than I do.

If I had to pick an All-Time #1 RB for College and Pros it would be hard to not pick Barry Sanders.

For those who never saw him in Detroit he had GARBAGE O-Lines and DOMINATED anyway,

Our definitions of dominated are different. You had to watch a bunch of 1 or 2 yard gains to see that jaw dropping 25 yard run. Great player, no doubt.

 

[TIDE-HSV]

LSU is not taking advantage of what Clemson is giving. May be that Burrow is just less than 100%...

 

[Saban4Ever]

If Burrows is hurt bad, I think Clemson wins. Just like Clemson beat Bama when Bama had major injuries. Burrows will play until he can’t walk. He’s tough.
