They won because Clemson's offense was even more pathetic. Alabama had 261 total yards (only 3.4 YPC on 42 carries). They had 3 scoring drives, and both TDs were set up by great field position (both drives started on the plus side of the 50-27 and 46 yard drives) due to Kelly Bryant. Not much they could have done, outside of scoring themselves. I'm sorry, where was the domination from the defensive line? Did I miss something? they gave up 142 yards on the ground, and most of all, I saw on many occasions where all 4 were single blocked and Hurts had way more time than he needed, the problem is, they moved the ball when they NEEDED to which is the whole point and got the job done. All I hear are excuses, not much they could have done? How about not get punked on a 4th and 1, how about dominate Bama's offensive line and hold them to field goals instead of TDs, get pressure in key situations, there are plenty of things they could have done, heck Bama's DT was the most impressive player and had the biggest impact on the game, he did everything he could to put them in position to win the game, he intercepted a pass, caught a TD and was tough as hell against the run against the run, that was Domination.

And the DE's are topshelf. There were so many other great DT combos, please give consideration to the other great combinations who's played before them, thanks.

But you continue to look past the fact that they did not once get a stop in clutch situations, and stopped them from scoring TDs when they could have held them to FGs. And the problem is, they got dominated by those NFL Level Olinemen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should Bama have scored no touchdowns on offense during the game, or just one maybe? That sounds unreasonable. Bama has NFL talent. They're going to get their's. Both TD's came on a short field (46 and 27-yd drives) Agree to disagree Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both TDs could have been held to 3 and outs and field goals. There isn't much of an argument here bro, sorry. They didn't get the job done....

I get them all staying Christian Wilkins I was hoping to get in Buffalo Wilkins is going nowhere near the top ten. He's probably a mid rounder. People got up in arms after he had a Da'Ron Payne kinda "big DL making plays on offense" playoff last year, but the tape has never been that impressive. Look at him against Auburn this year. Gets blow off the ball, doesn't have great strength/anchor ability, but he isn't an explosive athlete who can shoot gaps and win with athletic ability. No real bend, doesn't convert speed to power and is probably best suited as five tech at the next level. Dexter Lawrence and Ferrell are first rounders.
