ReggieBush Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 A family friend of my dad is a Bama grad and makes bank off this game every year. He buys like 20 tickets keeps 2 for him and his wife and sells the rest. Also, Bo Scarbrough is a monster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UnkNuk Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 Maybe it's because I'm a so-so Tide fan but I didn't think the game was that great. The last quarter was entertaining but, overall, it wasn't a great game. A decent game, but not a great one. Also, one problem with college football is that the games are too long - and that showed up here. That game took about four and one quarter hours to play. Good grief. I like watching football but c'mon. Also, there was a pick on the Clemson winning td. Yes, it happens a lot and most of the time it doesn't get called. But it was a pick. Having said all that, congrats to Clemson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beary Sweet Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 (edited) what a game. DeShaun Watson showed up when he needed it most in the 2nd half. he made couple great throws along with Williams making a couple amazing catches that really got Clemson going. also a nice way to end the game getting the throw off for Renfroe. Congrats to Clemson and got their revenge. Edited January 10, 2017 by Beary Sweet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another 'Bama victory would just mean that Saban would once again have his pick of the best high school prospects in the South East and would tilt the scales to the SEC even more than they already are. It's good for College Football and the way the game ended up was great for fans. (except for those from Tuscaloosa) Congrats to Clemson. Much better game than any of the NFL match ups so far.

Tre Mac Posted August 24, 2017 Share Posted August 24, 2017 Bumpity Bump Bump Kickoff is roughly 10 days, Go Gators. Here's a brief look at the top 9 QBs heading into the start of this years college season: Quote NFL Draft: Nine quarterbacks to watch for the 2018 class Updated May 10, 2017 11:39 AM By Nick Klopsis nicholas.klopsis@newsday.com +- Click here to read or post comments Advertisement Advertise here Every year, fans disillusioned with the current quarterback draft class utter a common refrain: “Next year’s class is loaded. My team should tank next year and get one of those guys.” That line of thinking often is dicey at best because nobody knows what could happen to a top prospect over the course of a year. For every Andrew Luck, there’s a Christian Hackenberg or a Brad Kaaya. But the potential 2018 draft class legitimately seems to have more promising young passers than recent years. Here’s an early look at which quarterbacks could hear their names called early in the 2018 NFL Draft. Sam Darnold, USC, Sophomore (Credit: Getty Images / Kevork Djansezian) Darnold will be just a redshirt sophomore in 2017, but that didn't stop fans of quarterback-starved teams from bringing up his name alongside this year's rookie class. He certainly has the tools to back up the talk. He has prototypical size (6-4, 225 pounds), arm strength and accuracy, and capped off a strong freshman season by going 33-for-53 for 453 yards, five touchdowns and an interception in the Rose Bowl. He also has underrated mobility, rushing 62 times for 250 yards and two touchdowns. Josh Rosen, UCLA, Junior (Credit: AP / Sam Craft) Rosen once was in a similar position to Darnold. He burst onto the college football scene as a true freshman in 2015, when he threw for 3,669 yards, 23 touchdowns and 11 interceptions and immediately was anointed the 2018 class' top QB. But he couldn't follow up his success in 2016. He had surgery in November to repair a soft tissue injury in his throwing shoulder, but he wasn't exactly lighting it up before that. The 6-4, 220-pound Rosen has very good size and is a good pocket passer when healthy, and new offensive coordinator Jedd Fisch - a former Jaguars assistant -- could help him get back on track. Josh Allen, Wyoming, Junior (Credit: AP / Ryan Kang) Allen could have been a first-rounder in 2017 but opted to return for his junior season after leading the Cowboys to the Mountain West title game in his first full season as the starter. The 6-5, 235-pounder is a dual-threat quarterback, throwing for 3,203 passing yards and 28 touchdowns to go with 523 rushing yards and seven scores on the ground. But he has some gunslinger in him, and that has resulted in some glaring accuracy problems (15 interceptions, 56.0 completion percentage). Something that could work in Allen's favor: his coach at Wyoming, Craig Bohl, was Eagles quarterback Carson Wentz's coach for Wentz's first three seasons at North Dakota State. ADVERTISEMENT ADVERTISE HERE Mason Rudolph, Oklahoma State, Senior (Credit: Getty Images / Brett Deering) Rudolph has flown a little under the radar at Oklahoma State, but he has the skill set teams crave. The 6-5, 230-pounder has ideal size and has a very accurate arm at all depths of the field, completing 62.3 percent of his passes with a 55-17 career touchdown-interception ratio in three seasons. He has played in the spread for the Cowboys, so he'd have to transition to a pro-style, drop-back offense, but he has shown an ability to go through his progressions. With another season throwing to James Washington - another potential first-round pick - Rudolph could find himself in the top tier next season. Lamar Jackson, Louisville, Junior (Credit: Getty Images / Andy Lyons) Jackson probably is the most electrifying quarterback in this potential 2018 NFL Draft class. The 2016 Heisman winner has shades of Michael Vick in his game, torching defenses with blazing speed (1,751 rushing yards and 21 touchdowns last season) and a strong arm (3,543 passing yards, 30 touchdowns). He still needs to evolve from being a thrower to more of a passer (56.2 completion percentage), and his struggles late last season could raise a few concerns. Nevertheless, he has the playmaking ability to potentially be a high pick. Luke Falk, Washington State, Senior <img itemprop="image" alt="Falk will try to cap off a decorated" src="http://cdn.newsday.com/polopoly_fs/1.13589107.1494430289!/httpImage/image.jpg_gen/derivatives/display_960/image.jpg" title="Luke Falk, Washington State, Senior" /> (Credit: Getty Images / Sean M. Haffey) Falk will try to cap off a decorated career as one of college football's most prolific passers. He has thrown for 10,893 yards in three seasons-- including 4,400 yards in each of the last two seasons - as well as 89 touchdowns and 27 interceptions. He has the requisite size at 6-4, 225 pounds and has good pocket presence and touch, but he'll have to shed the "system quarterback" label that befalls quarterbacks who operate in schemes such as Cougars head coach Mike Leach's Air Raid offense. Baker Mayfield, Oklahoma, Senior <img itemprop="image" alt="Mayfield has finished in the top four in" src="http://cdn.newsday.com/polopoly_fs/1.13589096.1494430437!/httpImage/image.jpg_gen/derivatives/display_960/image.jpg" title="Baker Mayfield, Oklahoma, Senior" /> (Credit: Getty Images / Justin K. Aller) Mayfield has finished in the top four in Heisman voting in each of the last two seasons, so it's easy to see why he's so fun to watch. The former walk-on has a knack for making plays with both his arm (9,980 career passing yards, 88 TDs, 24 INTs) and legs (16 career rushing touchdowns). As with other "Air Raid" type quarterbacks, he'll have a big transition to the NFL. Plus, his smallish size (6-1, 218) and off-field history (he was arrested in February 2017 on charges of public intoxication, fleeing, disorderly conduct, and resisting arrest) also will be red flags. Jake Browning, Washington, Junior <img itemprop="image" alt="Washington reached the College Football Playoff in 2016" src="http://cdn.newsday.com/polopoly_fs/1.13589102.1494430365!/httpImage/image.jpg_gen/derivatives/display_960/image.jpg" title="Jake Browning, Washington, Junior" /> (Credit: Getty Images / Streeter Lecka) Washington reached the College Football Playoff in 2016 behind a stalwart defense (three players from that unit went in the first 43 picks in the 2017 draft), but the Huskies' offense, led by Browning, wasn't too shabby either. Browning has good arm strength, but what really shows up on tape is his ability to read defenses and deliver accurate passes. He has average size by NFL standards at 6-2 and 205 pounds and lost one of his top targets in John Ross, who went ninth overall to the Bengals. ADVERTISEMENT ADVERTISE HERE Trace McSorley, Penn State, Junior <img itemprop="image" alt="McSorley turned it on late last season, throwing" src="http://cdn.newsday.com/polopoly_fs/1.13589118.1494430007!/httpImage/image.jpg_gen/derivatives/display_960/image.jpg" title="Trace McSorley, Penn State, Junior" /> (Credit: AP / AJ Mast) McSorley turned it on late last season, throwing 12 touchdowns in his last three games, including four each in the Big Ten championship game and the Rose Bowl. He finished his first season as the Nittany Lions' starter with a school-record 3,614 yards, 29 touchdowns and eight interceptions. He has a big arm for someone of his size (6-foot, 205 pounds) and also has some mobility, rushing for 365 yards and seven touchdowns last season. Three of his eight interceptions came against USC in the Rose Bowl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RUPERTKBD Posted August 25, 2017 Share Posted August 25, 2017 Being a Sooner fan means I'm a big Baker Mayfield fan, but I honestly believe that he's too small for the NFL game. (Yes I know about Russell Wilson, but he;s the exception, not the norm) In a perfect world, (for me) Mayfield would end up with the Bills and if it didn't work out in Buffalo, he'd give BC a shot.
