+1. I think it's a matter of time before this guy gets promoted to the next level.

Wait.. what? Didn't Bama lay a 40+burger on him last night?

Clemson had over 500 yards of total offense (Deshaun Watson is an incredible QB). Does that mean Bama's defense is bad? Brent is a very good defensive mind & has built something special there.

Just ask Stephone Anthony .

It means their defense could've been a hell of a lot better. If we're talking about giving up 50 yard plays all night long on the Clemson side or pretty much complete failure to contain the quarterback on the Alabama side, then we should just as well have kept Rob or Gregg. They were both pretty good at both of those. They also could keep another team scoreless for a quarter.

Clemson had more luck, some good players and a reasonable schedule than a "special" defensive scheme this year. Bama's defense had a better showing this year, but they did show a lack of being able to adjust at halftime last night. The sign of a good pro coach is a different, better team coming out after half time.

Our defense, our team deserves more than a project DC coming out of a college just like they deserve more than a project in the first three rounds of the draft.

Some of that was special teams and much of Bama's yardage came on big gash plays...

Look even the No.1 team in the nation, at least until last night, doesn't have NFL-caliber players at every position...

But Bama had to work their arse's off for every yard; this was a fantastic battle of two very evenly matched teams...
