NCAA CFB - Postseason Random Thoughts: Notre Dame vs Alabama

[FirstTimer]

I just can't shake the feeling that Notre Dame is going to pull off a stunner and win the title game.

You can shake it. They won't

..against a team that has players that know this routine and were prepared against a LSU team that was pretty much like ND this year.....wont happen

I think the Clemson offense gives LSU fits for two or three quarters but eventually the strength and depth of the lines wears them down. Since I won't be around during the game, let me go ahead and predict a 38-24 final score.

How has Mett looked this year? I barely watch LSU, and only see the box scores which only tell so much.

College football does replay so much better than the NFL.

First half of the season was pretty Jordan Jeffersonian, but he turned a corner over the last 4-5 games, starting probably with the Alabama performance. Overall I'd give his season a C+/B-, but he was trending in the right direction.

It's hard to pinpoint how much of the initial struggles were due to his own limitations and inexperience, or that of his teammates. A lot of the issues had to do with the surrounding personnel. While it's true he was holding the ball way too long at the beginning of the year, he was being protected by a makeshift OL that was down three starters, including an All-SEC left tackle, and was forced to use two true frosh on the right side. As the season went on and the OL started to gel, he grew progressively more comfortable and decisive in the pocket.

In addition to the OL problems, there was not a true "go to" WR to be found this season (miss you Rueben ). Landry and Beckham emerged towards the end of the year, but both are of smaller stature and more suited to be slot guys. The offense was really missing that big framed WR to target in the RZ, which partially helps explain Mett's rather pathetic TD total (11). Hopefully the big JUCO WR they just signed fills that void.

I think he has a chance to put it all together next season, especially with the continued development of the rest of the offense, but his occasional bouts of carelessness are worrisome. JaMarcus Russell or Matt Stafford is probably his ceiling on the college level - big numbers over the course of a season, but individual moments of derp.

I'm not looking forward to this FSU game. We gain nothing from this. Win, and we are suppose to. Lose and we are the laughing stock on the Bowl Season.

who's we ? players want to play, thats what they do. These games are for scouts and a fun personal experience for the players and A resume booster for coaches. And a win is win no matter when or why or where. Thats what all jocks play for, the win. No one involved in this game cares about your personal thoughts towards the games outcome or your feelings about it.

and FSU better win LOL

I am the least ignorant of anyone here. You ignore me because truth and practicality confuse and scare you. Which makes you ignorant.

Assume ? You either looked or you didnt...

NIU looks like shit. They have two guys capable of stressing FSU's defense on the edges and they insist on running right into the teeth of the FSU defense
