re: A rational look at the Clemson Tigers - can we leave emotions out of this for a minute

TL is a great player. But he is up against an historic one.

You need to read this link.

JB under pressure is better than 84 FBS quarterbacks under no pressure.

Let me restate that so it’s clear.....

Burrow, when his first, second, third options are taken away, when the pocket has collapsed and he has to scramble......is STILL better than 84 (~65%) quarterbacks when the play goes exactly as planned. Think about that. And that article doesn’t even include UGA and OU stats.

All of which might not be such a big problem for Clemson because:

This is where BV comes in. I think we can all agree that he is brilliant at scheming, exotic blitzing, and in game adjustments.

and I might therefore be worried.....if it weren’t for the tempo and hurry-up that LSU has run to near perfection against all comers this season, which negates his many and varied substitution packages.

Look man, no emotion here, but y’all really need to look at this more reasonably. You’ve played one elite team this year and barely beat them in the last minute with an interception in the end zone.

LSU has faced talent at or near the level of OSU week after week, and dismantled them one by one. Not eeking out wins at the last minute....blowing them out. Humiliating them. Many of the best teams in college football.

Step back and look at this season. I’m trying to help you here.
