Only 2 things I wish we'd done at the NC game

I'd have loved to see CW42 get in the end zone again. But I think Dabo has too much respect for Bama to do that. But that would've been great!
Wish HR13 had had a bigger role, but, as he pretty much said, with Ross and Higgins in the game, he wasn't needed quite as much. Would've loved to have seen him make a clutch play or get in the end zone as well, though.
Other than that - well, maybe Choice ripping off a big run or scoring as well - what a seriously complete and awesome game!

I know we just wanted to run out the clock on that last drive

Man, Chase is such an asset for Clemson. He would be starting for most D-1 schools. Hope he gets a shot at the NFL.

He stepped up when we needed it. With our competition not up to speed this year - if we lost to Syracuse - we might not have gotten into playoffs.
I guess lots of "backups" had a lot to do with the championship. This is why we are different than other programs. Even Bama. They hardly substituted on D. In some cases - we might not have the highest ranked player - but darn good and their backup is experienced and good as well. Reload.

Hopefully he can get some more reps next season (b/c we're blowing people out, not due to TL injuries!)
But it's nice to have someone that I think we're all pretty comfortable with - especially with our run game to back him up.

I've seen many Bama posts that have admitted that we could have scored even more had we wanted. Any other opponent and we would've been in the 50s at least. But on the biggest stage and against his alma mater, Dabo opted to take it easy on them!

Bama is going to be pissed off enough next year after this beatdown. We didn't need CW42 scoring a TD to add fuel to that fire.

you mean like Bama did last year?

they are punk-ass priks. they deserved every bit of the beatdown they got this year. and more. if Choice had busted it into the endzone at the end that would have been great. Bama will play like the world owes them something again next year regardless.

he tried. that's why we didn't recover. had he dove on it we would have had an easy short field to score again. Cle was giving him an earful about it too.

Its hard for Renfrow to have a bigger role when the Bama DB's are illegally pushing him out of bounds and the refs aren't flagging em for it.
Oh well, still whooped dat ### and taught em a lesson.

You know Hunter was the Decoy to get the other guys open. They knew Hunter could walk on water and it took every available man to cover him.

I think we should have punched it in at the end . Flame me if you want but laying 51 on them would have made me 110% happier … which seems almost impossible honestly .

Disagree Cap'n... Starting inside the 1, driving it for over

10 minutes while they couldn't stop it, and Bama knowing full well that we could score and didn't... I just think that is the kind of psychological beatdown that never goes away. Those Bama players on the D that return will already be conditioned for it next year, too..., that is if THEY make it. Already have my reservations for N.O. booked... ;~)
