Anyone think lane kiffin is on the phone to the coaching staff of Clemson and do we think that might be the difference?

I hope JT Barrett transfers. He can't hit the broad side of a barn with a pass anymore. Everything he throws is high. Indictive of a sore shoulder.

There were two OSU teams this year.....the shitty one, and the one who played well for two quarters a game. Hopefully because they are so young.

OSU suffering a huge loss with Malik Hooker going pro

Just going by what I hear.... The o line was very young this season. Is that right? If so, could times are up ahead. I heard in mid season that Ohio state had the second youngest starting lineup. The youngest was Texas... Ohio state was a top ten team with their youth, Texas was a joke

So I think the future in Columbus is bright.

Side note, Beck and our new rb coach from the Bears (zeke Elliott is giving the rb coach major props for his time as rb coach for tOSU) are known as big time stellar recruiters. Hopefully we can reel in those two blue chips from here that committed to the Buckeyes

I've got Clemson +6 and +6.5. Also have over 51.

Alabama looked mighty good on that first drive.

Clemson just beat Alabama with NO running game. Watson is the best player in cfb, what a clutch performance

And seeing Saban get clowned on the on sides kick was the icing on the cake

Longest useless final second of a game I've ever seen; trying to be like basketball, I presume.

Great game, right down to the last second. Fine win for Clemson.

Coach Saban looked to be really talking to himself, fast and furious, at game's end on the sidelines. Might wanna be careful with that sorta thing, Coach...

Saban is kind of like Belichick. Really good at what they do. But LOVE to see them lose.

Thanks, Elkabong. It really did come down to having faith in Watson vs. Hurts. But that Alabama defense is nasty. Good and nasty. The entire Clemson offensive team deserves a lot of credit for getting back up after taking so many brutal hits.

At some point Saban is going to retire. Swinney would love nothing better than to win a natty for Bama. Question is, do they ask him when the time comes. The style of offense he's run isn't what the fan base would fall in love with

I'll say this much. No way you can follow Saban and not get canned quickly. That fan base is spoiled to the hilt. I remember sports talk radio on 1080am in Dallas, Bama fans calling for gene stallings head 9 months after winning an MNC in 1992... They're worse than Texas fans and alums.

Helluva performance by Watson. EK....that last drive was eerily similar to Vince Young's winning drive against USC in that great title game. You are spot-on about the bama fanbase. I flipped over to the SEC channel where Finebaum and Marcus Spears took a couple calls and could not believe some of the bammers critique of Saban. Great season for both teams. Someone had to lose.
