Game Day Thread Clemson vs LSU National Championship

[BaconGrundleCandy]

Best college offense ever. Clemson didn't play terrible. Nobody was beating LSU this year. Both teams have plenty of pros LSU are just peaking in a new offense and again Burrow, EH, JJ, Chase, Moss, Cushenberry etc Pros everywhere.

Lawrence was too fired up. You see this in his game but he plays with a controlled aggression. Tonight he was high a lot which usually means you're never set.

Burrow showed off every attribute you'd ever want to see this year. Time and time again. Incredibly accurate, unbelievable awareness in the pocket, toughness. Took over a new offense like it was nothing. I mean how many perfect passes has he thrown this year?

Congrats to Cinci they finally have a QB. Protect the hell outta him and he'll turn that team around.

Why does his mom look nervous lol?

this game ended near the end of the 3rd quarter. Clemson players came out jacked on adrenaline and hung with LSU in the first half but that long intermission period seemed to have a real effect on the tiger players, especially the QB. Like how Burrow followed up that lousy first possession of the 2nd half and dissected the Clemson D the rest of the game.

The broadcast of this game is another story though...too long....too many agenda driven commercials...reminded me of the Super Bowls of the last few decades.

While it’s nice to be competitive every year, it must be a little exciting to be waiting to draft Burrow

I would not blame Burrow if he pulled an Elway and said he wouldn’t play for the Bengals. They are truly the most hopeless franchise in the league. Their owner has essentially conceded he will never give up control of personnel decisions despite 30 years of rock bottom results.

Burrow can’t go play for the yankees though

doubt the pathological potentate Goondell would allow that these days..."integrity!!"

How quiet it will be in our corner of South Carolina tomorrow - thank God (and thank LSU)

I’d be shocked, since he grew up in Ohio and has a lot of hometown support. He’ll have his work cut out for him, though.

3 national championships in 17 years is damn good. It's not anything close to the Patriots run but if you'd told me in the late 1990s LSU would win 3 titles in my lifetime, I would've been freakin' stoked.

 

[XLIX]

Did anyone see the full list of top-150 college players of all time?

On what EFFING PLANET is Peyton Manning the 2nd greatest college QB of all time?!?!?!? (Key word: college)

If he was in the Superdome tonight, he wouldn't have even been the 2nd greatest college QB in the building. He would have been 4th behind Staubach, Lawrence and Burrow.

 

[Roboturner913]

Burrow may have a legitimate claim to having the best season of any player in college football history here. It's so impossible to directly compare an NFL season to a college season but those numbers are absurd.

15 games, 5671 passing yards, 60 TDs, 6 INTs, 76% completions, 368 rushing yards, 5 rushing TDs. Freaking insane.

its kind of a cool story. Cincinnati is much closer to Athens than Cleveland. It would be amazing if he returned “home” and helped the Bengals get back to the playoffs.

 

[Tottie]

If I were him I'd skip everything. Don't do the combine, don't do interviews. Just take a small vacation because why do any of it when you are going #1 no matter what.

It hasn't been especially hard for the Bengals to get back to the playoffs, it's just illegal and impossible for them to win their first round game.

Yeah, I think that would be a nice story. Like his rise from nothing to something.

 

[SHOWTIME15]

McDaniels should hold out for the Bengals job

 

[IcyPatriot]

Belichick should pull a Ditka this draft ... works for me.

You know Randy is going to be lobbying Bill to draft his son lol...
