We will find out soon enough. Hope someone faded me tonight, as Clemson seems to have learned their lesson about Howard last year.
Fwiw Clemson wins this game....

Win or lose this is the best championship game of the century.

This will keep Saban around a few more years. Has to make up for the Lane mistake. He knew what the guy was doing year one on campus.

Kansas City, Seattle, GB, New England.
That's the final 4.

Saban choked tonight....just terrible coaching. What was he doing at the end of the game on that interference call that should have been half the distance, not ball on the 2. It wasn't in the the end zone it was at the 4. You have a QB who is very tough to stop when he runs it....Howard is open every play, throw it to him. Your defense is gassed.....sub some fresh legs in there. The last play for the TD? Everyone is supposed to get tackled. Force the field goal. Just a brutally managed game.

When Bo went down that's when the game went in Clemson's favor.

The offense has been a dumpster fire all season. The info is out there. Didn't help that the backup QB transferred mid-season but that's just a minor issue compared to what Saban was dealing with on his staff.

I Agree. If he doesn't break his leg Bama wins. If these teams play 10 times... Full strength Bama wins 8 of them. It took Watson heroics and a broken leg to win last night. No shame if your a Bama fan IMO. Clemson is OK.
