    I watched the start of the Pack v Giants game this morning, and it could have been very different if OBJ hadn't left his hands in Miami...

    @Sneakdefreak so you're saying pissing up in Miami is NOT the best way to prepare for a playoff game in the Arctic Circle?

    Rogers carving up. Is that now 22 TD passes with 0 interceptions in the last 8 weeks? incredible.

    College National Championship game today, Alabama v Clemson (II)

    Crimson Tide going for two in a row, on the back of an 18 year old freshman quarterback. Clemson quarterback Deshaun Watson is a star. His performance in a losing effort last year was unreal. He better hope he doesn't play too well, or he'll end up at the Browns.

    Watson's stocks have gone down a bit this year due to his high INT numbers, but if he has a big game here, his stocks will skyrocket, because this Alabama defense is full of big time talent that will occupy a number of the first round spots in the draft.

    The game is a bit one sided at the moment. Bama up 14 - 0 with 10 minutes still left in the 2nd quarter.

    stats-wise a pretty even game. Similar numbers for yardage and first downs.

    Getting them in different ways though. Alabama with more effective running game, but fewer and shorter passes; Clemson not effective on the run, but their passing game going well.

    Then Alabama start the 2nd half with a fumble recovery and a field goal

    Hurts is just terrible. A lot of people think he's going to be on the bench next year when Marcus Mariota's protege joins the team.

    @Dice 11-28 is not good. And one long TD aside, he's not producing. So many 3 and outs this half.

    @Dice you reckon Alabama releasing their OC last week is having an effect? Because if this offence doesn't get the job done, that's going to be a massive talking point.

    I think the passing game has been a problem much of the season against the ranked teams. Hurts just seems to miss a lot on the long throws and has trouble going through reads.

    Hurts just ran in the go ahead TD. What a game this has turned into.

    1 drive later Clemson back in front.

    And bama have 1 second to score, with a quarterback who can't throw long.

    Great game.

    I can't see Watson going lower than the 3rd pick with that performance. Massive game. 420 yards and 3 TDs against the best defense in college and in the biggest game of the year.

    Really enjoyed game. Looked to be a Tide walkover, but Clemson stuck at it and got some big big plays.

    College ball is great fun to watch. Just takes so long, even on pre-record!

    Better go to the 49ers or the Browns because the Jets have too many other needs to be reaching for yet another project QB!

    Looks like it's going to be an overall poor year for QBs in the draft though so could be a boring first round from a trade perspective because no one will be willing to pay to move up.
