CFP National Championship Game (open thread)

What a joke.  Can no team hold a lead anymore?  

Welllll.. that escalated quickly.

D. Watson has a bandage on his chin.  If this game goes OT, it could be 5 hours. 

Behind the whole game, take a late lead and then the other team comes back and wins it on a late drive.

at least Bama gave them some time

All of you mocking Hurts. He makes two huge plays. When is the last time we had a QB who made plays like that in crunch time in a big game? Let alone a freshman.

Also chill tf out ppl, there's 2 minutes.

Herbstreit and ESPN had the "Watson saves the day" narrative all cued up, and then... not so fast.  Note the silence after the TD.

 freshman quarterback

Simply Wow

Now watch this turn into a crazy finish, like a field goal to tie to send it to OT and they will get their instand classic which was actually a shit game to watch for so long.

Williams again climbing the ladder!!

Mike fucking Williams wow.  That's a man.  he's 40.

go out of bounds and the clock stops with under 2 minutes to go?

Maybe DPJ in a couple years.  Game is in frenzy mode. 

I'll never understand how some people prefer golf over this

Williams is insane

So i think I'm done watching the first halves of football, and mostly the 3rd quarters even. Coaches play pussy ball for 50 minutes.

terrible clock management

Missed fg coming up

Clemson's array of receivers with Renfroe, Williams, Scott is a hell of a crew.

Oh I forgot the stud TE.

Using up too much time!!!

What is Clemson doing?  Call a timeout.

Does Clemson realize they could still try to win in regulation? Left an awful lot of time tick off and playing for a field goal to tie.

Oh damn, it's on!!!!!

Have to go for the KILL here

Why do elite coaches not understand the basics of clock management?  It's maddening.

This is what happens when teams go for it offensively.

Holy shit that throw and catch. Time for two shots at the end zone.

Respect for not settling for the fg

Going for this would be amazing but you can't fuck up here and give thr ball away Deshaun...field is shrunk for that Bama defense too.

Wish they had used that other timeout... they'd have about ten more seconds.

So you need a Heisman QB with an array of 3 amazing WRs and a TE... and Bama to have a freshman QB... just to stay competitive with Bama.  No problem.

Oh damn, PI in the end zone. Time for one play???

Needs to get some receivers that catch just about everything.
