Dread Pirate Robert Posted January 13, 2020 Share Posted January 13, 2020 All day hype hype hype about the game on ESPN. All too often, the actual game fails to live up to such incessant hype. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dread Pirate Robert Posted January 13, 2020 Share Posted January 13, 2020 This may sound silly, but it seems to me that LSU really is this year the proverbial "team of destiny" -- a phrase I almost never use. So, I predict LSU will win handily. But . .. I don't bet on sports games in part because there is really no way of telling ahead of time what team is going to show up for any given game. And there is something about Clemson and Dabo Swinney that nags at me, casting internal doubt on my "team of destiny' feeling for LSU 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dread Pirate Robert Posted January 14, 2020 Share Posted January 14, 2020 To state what is probably obvious to just about everybody, Clemson started out gangbusters, going out to a 17-7 lead, but since then LSU has scored 21 unanswered for a halftime lead of 28-17. The first half was a tough physical battle between two excellent teams, but that last touchdown by LSU was probably a back breaker for the game. Considering how good LSU's offense is, I don't see Clemson coming back to win it at this point. Btw, Joe Burrow is friggin awesome. Good fortune to whatever NFL team gets him.

Dread Pirate Robert Posted January 14, 2020 Share Posted January 14, 2020 Clemson looking rattled at this point. Not used to be down 10 at the end of the 3rd quarter. Panic setting in. LSU should cruise on to win this game handily. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dread Pirate Robert Posted January 14, 2020 Share Posted January 14, 2020 LSU now up by 17 in the 4th. This game is over. And for those of you who love to trash talk the SEC: eat it, again. (you know who you are) SEC 8-2 this year in postseason play, with yet another National Championship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dread Pirate Robert Posted January 14, 2020 Share Posted January 14, 2020 (edited) Final score 42-25, LSU. Clemson got off to a great start, going up 17-7, but then LSU took control of the game and went on a 35-8 run for the rest of the game. I would be lying if I said I was not happy to see Clemson go down like that. Ha! Eat it, Clemson.

Makes me wish they had lost a few more games. I realize they invested a high pick on Haskins but if they had that 1st pick they would have to take Burrow and just figure it out. As it is they will probably take Young and he'll turn out to be a stiff...smh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll take 3 potential starters at other positions over the overhyped edge player who disappeared against top flight competition in their last 3 games... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
