    Little chippy at the end, but I never saw what the Bama players did on the int to get the personal fouls though.

    Terry,
    Yeah apparently a Washington player, threw a cut block on Reuben Foster and a couple of teammates took offense. Saban was not happy with the Alabama players involved. This defense is special. Our offense would be fine if we would eliminate the zone read, hand the ball off to Scarborough and not turn the ball over. A good win. Bring on the next opponent. :D

    I agree with you Doc, the Huskie D was pretty impressive. The Wash. O just couldn't handle the Tide D pressure. Second game is intriguing.

    Good drive for Clemson. Ohio state wasted their opportunity now Clemson starting to click.

    17-0 and Clemson right now seems to be the better team.

    The ACC is certainly earning big time bragging rights over the Big 10 this bowl season.
    Northwestern is our sole bright spot.

    Clemson is simply dominating Ohio State in all facets of the game. This could get pretty ugly by games end. Only bright spot so far is two interceptions by the Buckeyes.

    Big goal line stand by the Buckeyes, missed FG by Clemson. Maybe this will spark the Ohio State offense.

    That was a bizarre missed field goal/offsides whatever it was...

    Clemson #99 is a freshman. Whoa!

    Clemson's KO return team needs work. :D

    Only question remaining in this game is whether Clemson will shutout OSU.

    Dabo vs. Saban rematch will be a good one.

    The ACC is having a good bowl season. Maybe Whiskey can slap down WMU.

    Bobda, do you remember this?

    The last time OSU was shutout was November 20, 1993 (per Darren Rovell on Twitter).

    Sid,

    Yes. Was at that game. Seems like that game took place a century ago.

    B10 teams have lost the last two playoff games they played in by a combined score of 69-0 :shock:

    The Big Ten teams certainly have not dominated in the Bowl games! The ACC seems to have that honor. Clemson really put the screw to us this evening. A disappointing end to the season for sure. J.T was running for his life.

    I'm really looking forward to the Clemson/Alabama rematch. It should be a great game.

    Question about JT. It is clear he will never play QB in the NFL, and really if I were him I would tell the staff that if I come back for a 5th year I want to move to WR like Braxton Miller did. And even if that rumor that he's considering graduating and transfering to another team (Texas) to be reunited with Tom Herman I would still want to play WR. I know the Buckeyes have Tate Martell on the roseter and he was the #1 rated dual threat QB last year, who else do you have that could move in and start at QB?

    I'm actually looking forward to the USC vs PSU game. Both teams finished very hot. It could be a very good Rose Bowl.

    For adults only! You wonder what football players are thinking when they do things like this?
