Completely agree lodi.
Clemson might have had a chance had they held onto some of that D line talent. Losing 4 to the NFL, 3 in the first round is no joke. (Similar to what Oklahoma’s O line went through last year to this, losing 4 of 5 to the draft.) Clemson was still loaded enough to make it back to the show but they needed at least a couple of those guys they lost to have had a chance.
628 total yards says it all. That was not a bad Clemson defense, JB and those receivers just outgun everybody in college this year. Just like Bama’s defense wasn’t that bad when LSU put it on them too. When you have a guy in JB that can scramble, and keep his eyes downfield, and still throw strikes while on the run, it just make defensive coordinators want to rip their hair out.
And Burrow is a throwing quarterback who can run.
That’s much better than a running quarterback who can throw.
