Ok maybe not but there was a defensive stat where Oklahoma really sucked.

If anything, the main reason why Gators wouldn't win or cover, is because of one single person, and we all know who that is, don't we? Feliepe Franks is single handedly either the reason the Gators will compete, or get beat, it will be very much similar to Georgia game plan in Jacksonville from two months ago, Franks will be asked to come out throwing it to back Michigan stout run Defense up, but it's completely up to Franks to keep from throwing it to the other teams jersey like that Georgia game to open up the run game..If Gators had a better QB and better QB play between the ears, I'd be on them and with a good chance to win. Franks is the lone problem holding back Mullen from returning Florida back to where they need to be.. Motivation will also be a factor, Gators will be up for sure as they haven't beaten Michigan yet, interested to see how up Wolverines will be after the way last game went, and Mullen has been in constant contact with Meyer, to scheme and prepare for that Michigan good solid defense, as Mullen still runs very much similar offensive style and game plan to Urban Meyers still to this day offensively speaking...

 

Good points. DE Rashan Gary, LB Devon Bush RB Karan Higdon. All sitting for Mich. Big line move. I'ts a no play for me. GL



It's a toss up, like most of the bowl games this year so far, the most pk or close to games iv'e ever seen. Gators are getting guys back, and playing young studs as Freshmen, while Michigan is sitting many of their important starters and players. Keep an eye on and out for Copeland #15 for Florida today at slot and Z position at Wideout, he's a monster that has been knicked up all season long as a true freshmen and only played in one game so far, will still have redshirt intact, Gators best corner that's been out as well since non contact ACL injury that ended his season, all the way back in Week 2 against Kentucky, has been back out there and running pretty full in Marco Wilson, NFL Corner Quincy Wilson brother, don't know if he will play, but either way Gators have used time to heal and gotten some Freshmen with a game or more left to play that won't count towards their burning of the Red Shirt.. Gators will be up and wanna win for sure, and probably more than Michigan, Mullen is one of the elite game planners with this much time to prep for a single game, and winning 10 games for Gators would be a program re installer. Mullen can't be overlooked in games like this, as he has Florida trending back towards being on top sooner than people thought, playing on house money this year.. If he decides to use some packages for Emory Jones, ex Buckeye commit, he's very dangerous and will be in the future.. Gators finally have some Dudes again out there, and the first real elite great game day coach since Urban, and first time in 8 years.

OU will score, and will make big plays.. but this is not a B12 defense, Saban will do what Kirby did to OU and start coming after Murray!! On the other side, what can OU do to slow down Bama? Saban will do that for them, he will choke the clock and run run run run the ball to scores... this will be one of those games OU should’ve covered, but a big play or 2 late cost em.. 45-27 Bama..I was on Clemson YUGE when this game was announced.. Then I watched more ND games... This ND team is smart, and they don’t get out of position and give up big plays.. Clemson is stout DL, deep ball on offense.. the secondary is not good! And the run game is mediocre. Playing the ACC has not helped Clemson.. ND is a tuff team that will push them with a balanced , chain moving offense and play good defense. I like Clemson to win, because of that DL! But close, very close.. 27-24 Clemson

Clemson has them beat on both sides of the ball and control the game.

Agree on all but Mich. Really like the nd/clem under. ND wont be getting chunk plays or sustaining drives. I see them punting alot, but running the clock. ND is solid enough to make a few stops. I have this at Clem 34 ND 13

Bowls:

18 - 10 overall  64%

11 - 3 Big Plays  75.5%


Big Plays were 4 - 0 today....





Quick thoughts:

Clemson dominated like I thought they would. They're just so deep at every position..... N.D losing like this again will only hurt them moving forward in years to come. Lawrence and the young WR are freaks... the whole offense is freshman and sophomores....


Alabama does one thing better then any team in the country.... They come out and knock you in the mouth... They do it every game... I thought for most part the game was even or slightly in favor of Oklahoma outside of the 1st quarter...

Look... Hollywood Brown was not healthy. Would have been nice to see him 100%... Don't say it wouldn't have mattered.... cause it would have.

If Clemson can withstand that first 10 minute power punch next Monday, they will beat Bama.... But that's what Bama does...


also....... I find it odd how Bama seems to get away with so many questionable roughing the passers and clear PI on WR.... They committed I know 5 PI in that game where it wasn't even close... but yet the just seem to get away with it. The power drive by the big DL..... just nothing, any other team gets the penalty and the player is probably tossed.

We're headed for a big one next Monday boys.... Get ready

The play with the body driving to Murray's head got me...   and then later with the ref being so reluctant to throw the flag after the Bama player took his helmet off..   I like Clemson for the game for sure, but yeah.. got to survive early and Lawrence will have to use his feet wisely

BOOM!! Great pics AGAIN!! I wasn’t able to get the O/U in the Okl/Bama game but my local juiced the Bama line to -15 so I gladly took it for 2K. Hit a nice 2nd half Clemson play! 
Keep up the phenomenal work!

Please just stop using this phrase Boom -- "it's not even close"

The BEST OL in the country (and it's not even close) can only make way for 163 yards on the ground and give up 3 sacks and 4 TFL.

Your bias is kinda showing . . . and it's not even close . . .

Let me break this down for you and hold your hand like a little child...

When a team is down 21 points.... they tend to get away from the run game....

The run game was still solid for Oklahoma.... Had Bama not come out the gates with a huge 1st quarter... then yes... Oklahoma would have run for 200yards +

Still 163 or whatever it was is pretty solid against Bama...


So lesson of the day:

Take this with you so you will understand how to correctly watch a game from this point on...

When a team is down 20+ points... they tend to abandon the run game.

We almost got through this bowl season without any arguments so let's keep it going. 


On another note.... reffing was horrible in the Bama game. No question. 

Good work Boom. Much appreciated

I know right....


The officiating was horrible.... Alabama seems to get away with tons of stuff all the time... not just this game... but every game.

even at the end the officials were hesitate to throw that flag when the Bama DL took his helmet off and acted a fool.... any other team in the country that player is flagged immediately.

The corners CLEARLY should have been called for PI several times.... but just didn't. I've noticed for years the corners get away with this..

It will be a tough task for sure.... Bama is incredible...


But if Clemson weathers the storm early... I think they will beat Bama.
