Re: Big 10 and Pac 12 aren't that good this year...

since they got behind 16 points vs a very good & well-rounded team..

and if a couple of calls had gone the Bucks way they would have probably done Clemson in..

but they didn’t and Tigers sucked it up and played outstanding ball til the finish to win.

Yes, I think OHst had a special group there last year and with it being back maybe a bit stronger this year, I can see their lamenting over not playing this year.

A week or two from now may tell whether they do play or not this season.

To me it was one of the best Clemson performances and comebacks on a large national scene I’d witnessed in 62 years against a legit #2 team and am very proud of what they & coaches achieved that night.

Go TiGERS!

Re: Still think Tigers over-achieved a bit last year in CFP game with OHst..

I recently watched the replay of last year‘s championship game and the reality is we played a bad first half, not because of LSU, but just a lot of mental and unforced errors on our part. Unlike the Alabama game the year before we just did not play well and I think the hangover from the Ohio State game could’ve been part of that and Trevor certainly did not play well.

After re-watching that game I really felt like we blew a lot of opportunities and had we played a little bit better we could have easily been up by 7 to 10 Points at the end of the third-quarter! With a lead in the fourth quarter we could’ve kept the ball on the ground with ETN and kept LSU off the field and maybe held on to win!

Unfortunately, we did not have a lead going into the fourth quarter and our defense was exhausted and unfortunately LSU had a great fourth quarter! Give us a lead at the end of the third-quarter or had we had the DL from the year before and I think we win that ball game!

Still think #3 ranked Tigers over-achieved a bit last year in CFP game with OHst..

Rumor coaches last year thought 2020 was our year. Any success in 2019 was gravy.***

2 reasons Clemson lost in Natty vs LSU, imho.

Don't forget

Re: Still think Tigers over-achieved a bit last year in CFP game with OHst..

OSU’s problem was that they needed to play an entire 4 quarters to win.

I really think OSU had a better team (roster wise) than us
