Re: Alabama-Citadel sure felt closer than the score (50-17)***

This is a piece of garbage to make bama look good for letting Oklahoma back in it. All year ND has done two things, played good solid defense and kept everything jn front of them. Also, love was not out of the game as long as people think. He’d star on bama’s team... so ND is a good defensive team.

2. ND has been an excellent second half team. All year they’ve made excellent adjustments. Suck it bama you were playing the worst defensive team in cfp. ND would give Oklahoma a good game and your as ##### got really tight when they were within 10 points mid 4th. One stop and it’d been really close.

So screw ya pal. Spot the #### ball and we’ll see next Monday. Heck, spot it tomorrow if you want because it ain’t going to matter. I quit reading after you said we played backups in the fourth when we played them all game.

Re: ND vs clemson a lot closer than 30-3

That fella just took a bunch of analytics to make himself feel better. I read most of his pseudo mathematical drivel and statistics, and I notice two things: he doesn’t spend that much time focusing on the scoreboard (you know, the thing that really matters), nor does he mention the total yards statistics. Clemson outgained Notre Shame literally almost 2 to 1. They outscored them by 4 TDS. They ran for over 200 yards and Notre Shame didn’t even have 100 yards. Clemson won the turnover stat 3 to 1, and he didn’t mention that.

Here’s what I think: to me, that whole thing read like a dude who was trying to convince himself that Clemson isn’t that great because he thinks Notre Shame isn’t that great because Clemson just COULDN’T possibly be that good. The typical Alabama homers (I.e. Finebum callers) are always arrogant and over confident, which is why I am certain most of them think that Alabama will win the Title Game. 49-6. However, stat geeks like the guy who wrote that article (the type that think they know a lot more about football than they really do) are nervous. They are secretly afraid of Clemson, and they suddenly aren’t so sure that Alabama has the greatest team in NCAA history as the pundits have said all year. I’m no football expert or stats geek. I’m just a dude who has watched and kept up with Clemson football for over 30 years, and this team, to me, Is the best Clemson team I have ever seen, and I really do think that, barring a complete meltdown via significant unforced errors and turnovers, Clemson will beat Alabama by at least a TD this year because I honestly think that Clemson is at least a TD better than anyone in the nation this year. Stat man secretly believes this as well, but he wrote that article to convince himself otherwise.
