clemson vs. Tosu -- Sugar Bowl/CFP Semifinal game thread

[IANit]

Clemson must be tired from playing so many games this year. That ND win doesn't look so impressive now.

 

[BostonNit]

Don Brown to Clemson. You heard it here first.

 

[lionville]

The vaunted Venables defense gives up 600+ yards in a CFP game. Fire his arse.

 

[PearlSUJam]

Could we have gone with Fields last year? Maybe but we can agree we will never know. Realistically we had no pass rush and suspect secondary too. Is that debatable?

Yes. You mean like Oklahoma every year?

 

[djr4rebs]

Don Brown to Clemson. You heard it here first.

Why? He'd give up 70 Tonight.

 

[Lion Son/Husband/Father]

Trevor with pressure doesn't look so solid. You would think he took the biggest hit of the game. Nice recovery on the TD, but Wade fell down.

There’s not a single nfl Gm who thinks Trevor is nothing short of other worldly. Just stop

Brent Venables should have left long ago if he wanted to be HC somewhere.

Happens every year bud. I'm not saying he's dropping out of 1st pick, but these QBs who play on teams loaded with weapons and seldom face pressure because of excellent OLs don't always turn into the slam dunk they seem.

 

[canuckhal]

How did Kirby Smart not start Fields as a freshman? I wonder if he regrets that decision.

Anyone remember the thread several years ago when Fields transferred that he looked horrible in Spring training and couldn't learn the offense.

You’re being crazy talk. He’s above all that, once a decade Kinda talent

Don't worry the fat lady has sung.

She already took an Uber ride home.

OL

Herbie the Homer.

Helps to be able to be able to play in the deaf, dumb and blind conference with one of the best teams in the country.

 

[Yboby]

Dabo looking like Dumbo now for all of that needless pregame smack talk.

Don't think Swinney appreciates the Sermon that OSU has delivered.

I doubt it.

2 CFP Games in a Row...LSU had 629 yards in last years NCG.

 

[Lion Son/Husband/Father]

Get fields out now DAMN

I doubt it.

elway, luck, Marino etc

 

[Erial_Lion]

Alabama -6

Think it will be on the other side of 7.

 

[GregInPitt]

Serman made himself some money the last 2 oh-high-ya games.....

Another hard runner with quick feet that will look good on Sundays.

 

[SheldonJoe2215]

I just heard that Trevor has a fiancee.

My advice, slow your roll young man, slow your roll.

 

[Lion Son/Husband/Father]

I doubt it.

NFL analyst: Trevor Lawrence is 'once in a generation'

Trevor Lawrence: A Generational Talent › LEAGUEALERTS

Clemson University Quarterback, Trevor Lawrence, is a generational talent. The 20-year old stands at a towering 6'6'' and 220 pounds. The rising junior backed up former Clemson QB, Kelly Bryant, until week 5 when Lawrence took the world by storm, leading the Tigers to a National Championship win...

Clemson's Trevor Lawrence checks all the boxes as a generational NFL star

Clemson coach Dabo Swinney said the quarterback can do anything former Tiger Deshaun Watson can. The Giants or Jets might end up in the No. 1 draft spot to get him.

im no genius but I do expose myself to lots of sports stuff

Your post made me think of Tim Couch.

Herbie the dumba$$ about the legendary stiff arm.

There will be plenty of women in the years to come....no reason to hurry into anything.

Say Tim couch and TL in the same sentence one more time .....

 

[SheldonJoe2215]

The generational guys fly under the radar - Montana, Brady, Bobby Hoying...

 

[anon_xdc8rmuek44eq]

OSU to Dabo...

 

[Lion Son/Husband/Father]

Say Bobby hoy......nevermind

 

[PSUHarry33]

I like his hair (no homo)

The generational guys fly under the radar - Montana, Brady, Bobby Hoying...

Hoying?

 

[IANit]

Herbie the dumba$$ about the legendary stiff arm.

I can't get the ESPN feed right now because I'm too cheap, so I'm watching for free on ESPN3 online - I get the Ohio State Sports Network announcers instead of Herbie. They actually aren't too bad.

 

[anon_xdc8rmuek44eq]

TL seems like a good guy; fiancee is cute too...

 

[sunshinedynomite]

Dabs, you just got beat by the 11th Best team by 21 so where are you ranked MR. Sweeney

 

[Crayfish57]

Don't forget Jim Sorgi

 

[HazletonLion]

Chants from the peanut gallery, run.

 

[GregInPitt]

If oh-high-ya continues their march over Clemson, wonder what Clemson should be ranked if Dabo thinks oh-high-ya is the 11th best team.

Regardless, if this holds up Dabo is going to look like Dumbo. Hope he gets interviewed and asked what the 11th ranked team did to pull the tail of his tigers....

It's official:

 

[LionsandBear]

Dabs, you just got beat by the 11th Best team by 21 so where are you ranked MR. Sweeney

It's not his fault. He didn't have enough game film to prepare.

 

[anon_xdc8rmuek44eq]

I remember when Oweh and T. Smith were deciding; Smith is a player...

 

[djr4rebs]

Dabs, you just got beat by the 11th Best team by 21 so where are you ranked MR. Sweeney

If Dabo had any fun to him, he'd vote Clemson #11 for the final poll. They end up #3 regardless.

Fair to say Smith just played his best game.
