Texas Tech's defense is so aggressive. The commentators are trying to talk up their chances for the national championship and while I think that's ambitious, any time you get takeaways as regularly, and as often, as Texas Tech do, nothing is impossible.

I love an aggressive defense.

Time for Freelings vs. Pierres.

 

[manxman2601]

That was well timed commentary on keeping an eye out for a special teams play.

 

[manxman2601]

Ty Simpson's play has really dropped off on his accuracy the latter third of the season.

 

[mayoclinic]

Awful by Simpson.

 

[manxman2601]

Simpson's first round grade is in trouble if he keeps playing like this.

I'm not opposed to drafting Zachariah Branch. Imagine him Henderson and Williams in the same offense.

 

[mayoclinic]

Could put a lot of pressure on a defense. Also solve the post-Diggs slot question.

 

[mayoclinic]

Another reason I could live with Zachariah Branch.

I don't think the Alabama offense has what it takes to come back from down 21.

Barring STs and turnovers, I think the Freelings win this one.

 

[mayoclinic]

Have not seen anything justifying a spot for Alabama in Playoffs over Miami and ND. Both more electric teams.

I was just about to post that Germie Bernard only had 1 catch for 4 yards. Thankfully I didn't.

I have zero interest in Ryan Williams next year unless he gets much much better at catching the ball. Even his two receptions tonight were body catches.

 

[mayoclinic]

We already have a Williams who can do those things.

 

[mayoclinic]

Game over

 

[manxman2601]

Branch is so explosive!

 

[manxman2601]

This Georgia defense has been awesome

 

[manxman2601]

The main attraction coming up. The battle of the 12-0's.

 

[manxman2601]

This Georgia defense has been awesome

Heart in mouth time for Indiana fans there.
