2016 CFB Chatter....

Clemson. Clemson is who can beat Bama.
Now we know.

Bama D was gassed because the offense, even with great field position, went three and out far too often. then the midget scored with too much time on the clock.

Alabama's play calling was garbage I thought, but even worse was their plan to run up to the line and snap the ball as fast as possible. They did it several times in the 2nd half resulting in drives that barely last a minute, if that. Meanwhile Clemson was running off 99 plays. The Alabama defense definitely wore down and offense was clearly to blame.

That said, the officiating (especially the 2nd half) was extremely questionable and the game itself lasted far too long. College football is turning into 4+ hour marathons virtually every game now, which is pathetic.

The bad guys lost!

You see TE, there is a Santa Claus

that's because the refs can review any play any time without any prompting from the coaches. even obvious TDs/turnovers get reviewed, leading to unwatchable games

I think Alabama wins by 10 had Bo not gotten injured.

at the end of the day, the midget played like a true freshman qb. take away that easy td he had to wide open #88 in the 3rd, his passing stats were atrocious.

There it is

There it is

Do you have another take, or did you agree that none of those obvious offensive PI's actually happened?

That's a huge problem.

Also there's the 30 minute halftimes, stopping the clock after every first down, offenses running 80+ plays per game... they also replay targeting penalties.

Clemson scored last with :01 on the clock. After that you had the commercial, the onside kick, the review of that play, the referee's ruling, then Clemson had to come out and take a knee after they straightened it all out. It probably took 8-10 minutes to run the last second off the clock.

somebody said Bama should have held/mugged all the receivers, which, after the defensive penalty, only would have left enough time for a tying FG (assuming they didn't have the balls to try to score a winning TD with no time on the clock)

Even if they wanted to it would've been hard the way that pick play was run. The cb never got close to the little white receiver.
