Clemson and Kentucky have only played 3 times in past 25 years and Clemson is 2-1.

it is weird you go back to games in 1950s and prior to beat up on Clemson football. lol

2016 UGA game in Athens. We should have kicked the shite out of them. That and the LSU game last year and the 2 most inexplicable losses of the Gus Malzahn era.

Bama was only it it b/c of 2-0 turnover margin


I feel like gashing the Clemson D with the running game before inexplicably abandoning it in the 4th quarter also played a role in Bama being up until the last play of the game

Bama only had 2 big runs.

they abandoned it b/c Clemson's defense was trying to force Hurts to throw. lol

i'm not sure why you complain about passing given Alabama set up their last TD with a trick pass play.

you...you were whining about abandoning the run but it was a big trick pass play that set up Hurts big running TD late in the 4th. and obviously Hurts ran the ball.

Tillman, your constant usage of “lol” suggests your age (physical or, perhaps, mental) as approximately 16.

Again, the preponderance of Clemson fans on this site indicates their collective insecurity and their SEC-envy as a whole.

I’m embarrassed for them.

I did complain about abandoning the run, I did not say a word about passing. Balanced offense and all.

Exactly, Hurts should have been either handing off or attempting to throw to a receiver

he did attempt to throw to WR....just didnt complete many.

his late running TD was a big play in the game and put him up so weird you would be talking about how he needed to pass it or hand it off. lol the QB running is part of the run game.

Can back. Not that they were a bad tram but giving up a lead that big is inexcusable.

Of course it is, and it was obviously a good play. I'm talking about all of 3 and outs on other possessions. I'm not taking anything away from Clemson, Bama could have just stopped them on the last drive and the 3 and outs don't matter but the Clemson offense was better than they were. I don't think Bama should have won the game, just point out your statement that they were only in the game because of turnovers as absurd, because it was

Auburn was really good that year and played in the championship game is why I don't consider it baffling



Sure, but that ending was certainly stunning when it looked like OT was on the docket.

Auburn was going to win in OT, field goal was the only shot once the game was tied up

Ole Miss has turned bafflement into expectation what with WAOM and whatnot. It's way more surprising if Ole Miss doesn't have an inexplicable loss somewhere

No Bama fan has said Kick 6? They had the win and were well on their way to three peat before the RPO TD and the Kick 6 shocker.



I probably should have added that one as well. To be honest though, I knew after the 3rd quarter we were going to lose that game. Was glad we got it over with instead of losing in OT. Tre Mason that season was a damn bowling ball. We absolutely could not stop him.

Losing to LSU in 2010 was bad. Not to take anything away from the Tigers but why we could not get up for this game and win it with another possible trip to the BCSNCG was frustrating.


This game was one of Les' finer moments. Guys played their balls off and we made a few gutsy, well timed calls. Basically what the 2012 and 2014 games almost were but 2012 Les didn't have the same timing and 2014 the players pissed it away. Pretty frustrating to have your most hated rival dead to rights like that twice and lose them both. And that's not even bringing up 2008 or 2009.

So yeah, we owe y'all a gut wrenching loss or two more i think
