    Coker is horrible. He is unable to do much of anything.

    definitely agree. the offensive talent in that game was ten times better than this game.

    bama/usc were touchdown favorites and got a lot of hype pregame though. a lot of people wrote off UT/Clemson and how they couldn't compete.

    though bush and henry deserved their heismans, VY and watson were the best players in college.

    Coker closing in on 300 yards. Impressive.

    That's just bad football. Don't deserve to win if you give up 14 pts in blown coverage.

    This game is extremely flukey for Alabama. Clemson outplayed them all game long. Watsons turnover, the onside kick, and the two blown coverages handed the Tide 21 points.

    Onside kick was like NO in the SuperBowl to start the 2nd half. Complete surprise and executed well.

    Too easy for Alabama.

    Beat you offensively
    Beat you defensively
    Beat you on special teams
    Do it all.

    Meanwhile, the Deshaun Watson show on the other side. No pressure!

    Special teams plays just don't excite me anymore now that I'm older.
    It's part of the game though.
    I'm just increasingly in the camp of removing that stuff. Does anybody know who is playing on special team plays? No. Nobody cares.

    The blown plays are the difference. That kickoff return was a killshot.

    Special teams determined the winner of this game.

    Strongly disagree. If it's a joke, it needs much better execution.
