The ability of Lawrence to come up with big plays on 3rd down (including 3rd and long) is extremely impressive. Did it against ND and is doing it again tonight.

Props to Clark Lea and the ND defense. Wow. Especially considering how little help the offense gave them.

Man, ND’s pass rush, defensive backs and pass defense in general were a lot better than Bama’s based on what I’m seeing here. ND has come a loooong way on that side of the ball.

Does this mean that ND should finish #2 in the polls? (Kidding, but not really).

Well, I think we now ALL know we could have been in a better conversation.
Clemson seems to be the real deal.
Proud of our Irish!!!

Agreed. As most have stated, the only issue the Irish D had in the Cotton Bowl was the times that Love was out. The last score on the long TD run by Etienne was when the D missed a run fit that Tranquill said his grandma could’ve run through & scored.

Yep. The offense is the problem now. Sub par coaches on that side of the ball. Long, Quinn, Rees, not exactly a Brain trust there.

Took Bama to win... check
Took the under... check
Took Bama minus the points... check.

Bama D looks confused as hell on a lot of plays. Bad coaching? Lack of preparation? Their DC should probably just hit the showers and clean out his desk now. Lol

Where Is all the Alabama blow jobers? I said It after they played Ta&m.
Alabama deserves this and so does the stupid media that blows up a team that plays NOBODY! What a JOKE!!

I want Dabo to pour it on or at least prevent Bama from scoring again. I know that’s a lot to ask but anything is possible.

Tosh Lupoi getting karma for his evil doing in the Pac12.

This game weirdly helps validate ND. The “best team ever” (wanking motion) is getting embarrassed worse than ND did. Clemson is dominating them and it makes me happy. Our defense must be good. Or maybe Bama played a pretty average schedule and is getting exposed...... finally. I wonder if this result holds, if the “experts” will say the same things about the almighty Bama that they did last week about ND....

Turns out there's not a lot you can do against a kid with more talent than most NFL QBs and receivers who are consistently making circus catches.

Since Cuse isn’t eligible for the #2 spot, think the Irish are next? Only team to give Clemson a game this year.

This is what it looks like when a QB stands and delivers under pressure. All QB’s get pressured. The good ones make throws. Same goes for Tua. Not nearly as impressive but these dudes are getting hit and making throws.

I do that on every bet & pick em that I take part in. I always pick the team I want to lose to win. It worked in the Georgia game & seems to be in this game but I fear Bama will pile on some points to make it close like when the Buckeyes dominated them yet the final score was only a 7 point difference.
