Kilmer17 Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 I thought the PI call was bad. Should have been holding or PI outside the end zone. That would have put Clemson at the 4.5. Big difference. Wed be in OT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spaceman Spiff Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 Not a big college football fan but I had a feeling that Clemson might win tonight. Two things: One, the arrogance of Alabama. I'm aware that Kiffin got a new job and is prepping for that, and I'm not sure whose decision it was to not have him there tonight, but you don't forget who brought you to the dance. Two, they were starting a freshman QB. While that didn't ultimately matter, he didn't make any mistakes, I just felt like head to head with Watson it wasn't a contest. When the Alabama RB (can't remember his name) went down, I thought that was the spot where Clemson could seize the game because it seemed like he was the one guy that they couldn't stop. Trading scores back and forth at the end was exciting, this was a fantastic game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Going Commando Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 Kirk Herbstreit calls a good game. I'm glad ESPN got the broadcast because he's the best color guy in CFB IMO. NCAA is so lucky that Clemson and Alabama had these two teams come along at the same time to match up in a Final two years in a row. Epic title games between the two true best teams in the country were the outcome. It gave everyone a taste of what makes the sport great. And I am going to thoroughly enjoy the 30 for 30 that gets made about this colorful Clemson team. Speaking of which, the concomitance of getting a DeShaun Watson and Calvin Watkins and Ben Boulware and Wayne Gallman to all come along at the same time is really special. Clemson isn't going to find guys like Watson and Boulware again for a loooong time. It's too bad that guys like Shaq Lawson, Kevin Dodd, and Mackensie Alexander weren't there to be a part of this championship. But by the same token, if they had stayed in school, maybe we never get to see a Clelin Ferrell and Austin Bryant and Christian Wilkins shine. Clemson is going to have an absolutely incredible defensive line over the next two seasons. Ferrell is a RS Freshman, Fowler is a true freshman, and Wilkins is a true sophomore. They're built like Alabama on defense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Evil Genius Posted January 10, 2017 Author Share Posted January 10, 2017 Make no mistake, I am happy to see Bama lose. But the pick play (let's be honest, it's not a rub - it's a pick) needs to be eliminated in college and the pros. Every time it needs to be called as Offensive PI. Every single time. Its also ridiculous that college teams run 90+ plays a game. End the clock stop after first down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clemson isn't going to find guys like Watson and Boulware again for a loooong time. I wouldn't worry too much about Clemson. Dabo has been such a phenomenal recruiter that they are right there with Bama and OSU, with HS All-Americans sitting behind All-Americans. They just reload now. They've lost a ton of guys to the NFL the past two years and still won the Championship this year. The Tigers will surely miss Watson, but have the #1 HS QB coming in next year, and a commitment from Trevor Laurence for 2018, a kid that many pundits are saying is the best HS QB prospect in the past decade plus. Dabo is a genuine great person, great recruiter, and great coach, and will have Clemson among the NCAA elite as long as he stays in the SC Upstate.

The Evil Genius Posted January 10, 2017 Author Share Posted January 10, 2017 I have to think it (the pick/rub play) will get a serious look by the NCAA football oversight committee this offseason, especially with Bama losing. They are already talking about how to shorten games.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dont Taze Me Bro Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 I'd be fine if they did away with the clock stopping to move the chains after a 1st down. At the end of the half or end of the game it gives the offense extra time and they don't have to burn time outs, which puts the defense at a slight disadvantage, imo. Especially if its yardage in huge chunks, allows coaches more time to call in plays and for them to get settled. I've always thought the rules for ncaa basketball and football should mirror the NBA and NFL anyhow. It's not so different that it bothers me or anything like that, I just think it makes more sense and would better prepare those able to turn pro adjust better.

Major Harris Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 well, it's an advantage for the offense if the offense is behind. if the offense is ahead, a 40 second play clock in the nfl is a huge advantage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elessar78 Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 Here's a thought on that? Are chains anachronistic? But could there be a device(s) that measures ten yards from first down digitally so chains don't have to be moved anymore? I still think play calling should be done exclusively by players on the field. If they didn't need the sideline to call it in, you can shave 5? 10? seconds off each play. In the past decade the coordinator gets a look-see at the defensive alignment THEN calls the play in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
