National Championship Game Open Thread

Better than Ohio being in it!

The CFP committee easily could've had this rematch as semi-final. The only people who would've had a problem are SEC slappies. 

But Herbie said it was the most electric atmosphere he'd ever seen in a nat'l championship game!

Yeah they are being careful with the angles they are showing.  That is not at capacity.  And sorry Herbie, but “electric” is not the word I would use.

Must've been a bad angle or where the band sits or something because every angle I've seen shows it's full.

Do you see the speed and size on UGA’s D? The few chances we had, like the swing to HH, it was batted down. Not sure what we could have done more? Short of 4 verts at least once a drive, I’m not sure what else.

Defensively, yes, I was not the biggest fan of our game plan. Too much thinking for Colson, too much 1-1 for Gray, no interior pressure

What are you talking about?!  When you have converted high school WR/CB playing linebacker in this game it just shows you the athletisicsm difference between us and the guys down South.  Bottom line is we need to improve the talent on the field to compete at this level.....stop coping out and blaming the coaches.

If by out-coached you mean K Smart telling his once in a generation 5* defense to play “their game” and have his offense not make mistakes, then you’re right on point.

Sorry but no amount of trick plays were going to hit home against that defense and our D was always going to have trouble against an accurate, semi-mobile qb backed up by a great run game.

Meh, 

They schemed and scouted our defense well, but it all stemmed from our inability to sustain any drives or momentum on offense.

The margin of error against their defense was so low that any mistake we made on offense and put us behind the sticks was catastrophic.  They have so much size, speed and talent at every level of that defense - NFL players at every position.  Sorry, but even the best scheme with perfect execution would only keep us in that game...and that's a lot to ask of any team.

We need more elite talent to raise our margin of error in general, and especially when playing elite teams.

We would have had to play a mistake-free, A+++ game in order to beat a team with that big of a talent advantage over us. That's doable against Ohio State, which is a bitter rival that we prepare for all year. But not against a team that we don't even know we're going to play until a month before we play them.
