We ran the clock out in most games this year. Points were voluntarily left on the board when we could have put another in the EZ.

Look at LSU/Bama. We didn't have to take the knee.

If Colt hadn't been hurt, huh?


If Deshaun is on that Texas team then Bama probably loses. Not guaranteed, but it would have been a great game.

But I can guarantee DW4 would not have left the game like Colt did. He got torpedo’d under the chin by Rueben Foster at the end of the 3rd qtr, and proceeded to get up and lead 3 more TD drives against the best defense in CFB history.

Deshaun. Ripped apart way better Alabama defenses

I’d actually take both Burrow and Tua over Watson.

I’d take Watson over Lawrence though.

Yep. Imagine what he would do to a mediocre LSU defense.

And I'd take Burrow first, then either Watson or Lawrence, then Tua last...he sure is real injury prone...

I get that. But from a pure talent standpoint, that’s my order.

Does that make the Clemson defense just plain bad?

Well yeah. But if I'm the coach or GM of an NFL team, Tua ain't my guy.

Yep — definitely a high risk, high reward scenario with him in the early first round.

Burrow's 521 total yards against Clemson was his season high


Texas, Oklahoma, A&m, Ole Miss, Arkansas, Utah State, Georgia Southern, and Northwestern State all held Joe in check better than clemson's defense did.

UGA gave up 10.7 ppg outside of our game
Clemson was giving up 11.5
Florida gave up 12.2 outside of our game.

Including out game, all of them finished in the top 7 in PPG.

Alabama gave up 11.4 ppg outside the National Championship and they gave up 43 to Ole miss and 30 to Arkansas.

I blame that on Lawrence. He played awful.

Our defense actually held y’all at bay enough for us to have a chance. But Lawrence wasn’t even giving our receivers a chance to make plays because he was so off. And you can’t keep giving the ball back to an offense like LSU over and over again.

That never happens with DW4. He would have continuously made big plays and kept drives alive.

If we have Watson, then Clemson wins 41-34 imo.

If we roll out with PP7, Honey Badger, and Devin White you get curb stomped.

Since we're making up hypotheticals

Depends on how good the offensive line is.

Great line = Burrow
Average line = pick em
Bad line = Watson

Who says Burrow needs a great line?
