RT FAN Posted January 4, 2017 Share Posted January 4, 2017 I thought they did a dis-service to both the Sugar & Rose bowl games having them after the college playoff games.Both the Oklahoma/Auburn & the Penn State/USC games were more entertaining than the playoffs where Alabama & Clemson dominated. Perhaps it is time to expand the playoff format. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the other hand, the informal gathering will still be going after the game is over. I'll lay 6 to 1 if it is held at a hotel there will be a TV within 50' of your cocktail hour.

JL Sargent Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 And we're off! Bama strikes first blood with 7. EDIT: halftime and Bama up 14-7. Really tough fought game so far. It's anybody's to win at this point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I watched the replay this morning on ESPN. They showed the last play and it definitely wasn't a pic. It was man coverage. If AL had played zone there, Clemson probably wouldn't have scored.

Obviously you missed Deshaun Watson's press conference after the game. He said it was a "pick" play! That's the reason you run a pick is to beat MAN coverage, just like in basketball. In this case, the "pick" receiver ended up with his head between the defenders legs in the end zone. Clemson had two called pick plays in the game for two TDs. Yes, they are supposed to be illegal and a penalty. Rarely called by officiating crews in the NFL or College. Clemson got that one right out of New England's playbook. Deshaun describes the pick here at the 4 minute mark. http://theclemsoninsider.com/2017/01/10/watson-renfrows-special-postgame-press-conference/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CECAA850 Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 Let me rephrase. It wasn't an ILLEGAL pick. http://www.foxsports.com/college-football/story/clemsons-final-pick-play-perfect-legal-remain-011017 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JL Sargent Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 Nate Scott is sports writer for USA Today and a few other outlets. He shared his opinion about that last play. To think he is somehow an authority on college football rules? Now that is funny. Per NCAA official: "it occurs when an offensive team player, who is beyond the line of scrimmage, makes contact that interferes with a defensive team player. "It is the responsibility of the offensive player to avoid the opponents." Clemson certainly could have been called for OPI on those plays, but hey it's football. There are lots of missed calls.

CECAA850 Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 Lots of missed calls and one play doesn't make or break a game. The last one is the one you remember though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wvu80 Posted January 10, 2017 Author Share Posted January 10, 2017 First of all, let me state my official, personal opinion; I really don't care one way or the other. I'm not a football official, not a college coach. I don't know and I don't care except as a disinterested college fan. +++ There are smart people on BOTH sides who argue their side is right. I 100% guarantee you the Alabama people are screaming about the lousy officiating. I've already moved on to basketball, where tonight my tenth ranked WVU Mountaineers are taking on the #1 team in the country, the Baylor Bears. The Baylor Bears are #1???
