FBS Championship Game - Alabama vs. Clemson
If you said you saw that beat down coming, well, you're a time traveler. Clemson was a six point underdog in what was expected to be a coronation of Nick Saban's best team ever. Instead they flat out got their ass kicked. It was almost shocking how bad the Tigers made the Tide look.
I was in for the whole game, figuring a good three and half hours plus the ridiculous halftime show. Can anyone explain why Imagine Dragons are popular? Name one Dragon, I dare you. To try to appeal to a bigger slice of "fans" Lil' Wayne was added to the show.
Yeah, he made it better. His grandma is probably wondering where her clothes are. Fortunately for the fans at the game, they didn't have to suffer through this, they got to see the marching bands. ESPN is awful.
You know the outcome by now, it was a master class in coaching by Dabo Swinney. Clemson picked apart the Alabama DB's on the edges and then hit for big plays, anchored by dominant line play on both sides of the ball.
Dabo forced Trick Nicky into making bad decisions, like the fake field goal. Just put Tua out there Nick and let your offense try to pick up the first down.
All in all, a pretty good night although anyone who thinks it's going to be any two other teams besides Clemson and Bama next year is delusional.
Clemson 44 Alabama 16
What Did I Eat: A couple slices of thin crust Home Run Inn Pizza and a salad.
Bowl Swag: The don't disclose gifts, it's a secret. Probably a crying towel for Saban.
My Pick: Alabama, I was just horrible this year.
That's it for another season. Title game in New Orleans next year, book your flights Tiger and Tide fans.
