“The defense didn’t get exposed...they got worn out...because of a lot of offensive 3 and outs.”

That sums up the game quite well.

I knew Bama needed to get yet another defensive TD to win, and they didn’t get one.

Indeed, an excellent summation ... and I'm a die-hard Crimson fan for decades. Perhaps Sarks was being too conservative with a lead, bringing too many 3 and outs, but Clemson's defense still had to stop the plays.

It was another great game and deShaun is an exceptional GB. I was adding it up last night: how many points did Bama get in the 2016 game and haw many did Clemson get, then add the number of points for the 2017 game to each and what do we see? Two teams evenly matched, so coaching had to be the flaw. Sarks will have Bama generating much more offense in 2017, and if they get to the semis, look for lots of scoring.

I have to add that the officiating left a lot to be desired ... receivers pushing off on the smaller Bama coverage was one thing that stood out as not called, while the PI the next to last play of the game was, well, meticulous?
