Alabama's defense got exposed on yesterday. Notre Dame left 10 points off the final score.
College Football Playoff: Alabama, Clemson, Ohio State and Notre Dame
- Thread starter Fiyah
- Start date
Alabama’s offense left way more.
I don't know why people are shock, LSU beat them last year, they got manhandle this year. If the ACC schools would not just let Clemson beat the brakes off of them maybe things would change
I have said it before win you are playing tough teams week end week out, it takes a toll, the is not the case in the ACC

You’re going to ignore them beating Ohio State and Bama twice each over the last five years?
What exactly do you mean by "exposed"? I mean:
Alabama 52 Texas A&M 24
Alabama 41 Georgia 24
Alabama 52 Florida 46
Alabama 63 Ole Miss 48
What did Notre Dame's 14 points expose that these other teams didn't? Uncle Nearest and I would like to know.

I believe that the biggest question is can Ohio State slow down that Crimson Tide offensive scoring machine. Alabama has quietly put up comparable numbers that LSU did last year which were record-breaking numbers. A little side note, 3 Louisiana receivers (Clemson's Lamb. LSU Chase, LSU Jefferson led the way in the National Championship game last year. If Alabama wins another championship this year, Louisiana native (Alabama D. Smith) will play an instrumental role in bringing the Tide home. D. Smith may end up winning the Heisman.

I think Alabama played a conservative game after it was clear they had it under control.

Greed - it’s a shame how these ADs/presidents/ESPN who claim they support student-athletes backtrack everything when it comes to football. They bend over big time on that sport

If folks really were looking out for the athletes, there wouldn’t have been a season. But games were gonna get played by hook or by crook ... even if it meant playing the “Rose Bowl” in Dallas. SMH.

you right - but high schools did it without testing, etc so we knew the SEC and friends wasn't going to sit back and watch.
One of those games damn near looked like it had about 20K

The Boot can claim Surtain too as his Dad has N.O. ties. The mike LB Moses is from B.R. too. Saban still has a lock on Louisiana blue chip recruits.

Alabama star Jaylen Waddle set to return to practice, may play in national title game
Updated 3:00 PM; Today 2:11 PMBy Matt Zenitz | [email protected]
Alabama may have an additional weapon available when it faces Ohio State in the national title game. Star wide receiver Jaylen Waddle, who has been out since suffering a significant ankle injury Oct. 24, is expected to return to practice Tuesday, sources told AL.com. It’s too early to tell whether Waddle will be able to play in the national title game but it’s at least a possibility, per sources.
Waddle, a preseason All-American, had 25 catches for 557 yards and four touchdowns prior to suffering the injury during the Crimson Tide’s win over Tennessee.

Yes, I am aware of those other Louisiana players but was focusing on the heavy WR representation for the last two years. Dylon Moses is a beast though and the other Louisiana players are top-flight as well. I wouldn't go as far as saying Sabin has a lock on Louisiana blue chips but he definitely has a duplicate key....LOL

Because of the impact of Louisiana natives like Eddie Lacy, Landon Collins, Cam Robinson (Outland trophy winner), Devonta Smith (likely Heisman winner), etc, which were all 1st team SEC and dominated LSU I consider this a lock on the state. Saban comes in yearly and lands the best of the Boot.
Why is that?

He is the single most reason why LSU is a factor today. He literally closed the Louisiana borders during his time as coach at LSU. Prior to Saban top blue chip talent like Reggie Wayne, Ed Reed, Warrick Dunn to name a few (especially Orleans Parish recruits) never really considered LSU. Louisiana is top five year in and out in terms of talent rich states. His track record of developing players is second to none and people in the Boot never forgot how he awoke what was considered a sleeping giant in LSU.

I have heard WAY TOO MANY ESPN personalities just be tone deaf with their comments related to COVID19 as if over 300K people havent died from this mess but "glad that the season got played"
I'll keep saying that I'm so glad that ESPN has no part of the NCAA Tournament (just the conference tourneys) because they would have BEEN froze out the 1 bid conferences. They were pushing it hard for a couple of years until Duke lost in the 1st round which shut Jay Bilas up about it
