n their defense- AJ Terrell was suppose to be a first round talent that dominanted vs Alabama last year. Fact of the matter is that no one was gonna stop us.


Was that #8 by chance?

Because my gf made a comment in the 4th that she felt bad for that dude after somebody caught another pass on him. She doesn't even watch football but knew that guy was getting worked baddddd. Every time she saw a touchdown she saw #8 and said "yep they did it to him again"

Venables has said that 81 and 22 were problems. I think he knew that doubling was out. We had 5 elite pass catchers. BV knew that.

Their only hope of slowing down Burrow was to get pressure. Force some bad throws, get his timing off and trust your corners to be physical enough.

It worked for a while but eventually we adjusted.
It worked while we were backed up inside the 10, and you didn't want to risk a safety. They did get 5 sacks.

Once we had the room to take a sack (if it happens), it became simple: they won't get you all 3 downs, and odds were that on one play Burrow would find the open guy.

Hell, even backed up, Burrow made a big play with a lineman downfield (opening drive), and another time we drove 95 yds for a TD anyway.

I think that’s his number. Same dude that pick 6’d Tua on the first play last year and shut down his guy most of the game.

LSU was another animal and cost that guy millions.

Jamar and Joe probably cost Trevon Diggs and AI Terrell a combined 10 million bucks

Yeah I just looked them up

#8 and #1 Derion Kendrick got abused much of the game

I want #11 from their team though, he was an animal in Pass coverage and rushing the QB. By far their best athlete on that side of the ball, shite he might have been the best defensive player on the field regardless of team. Good thing it takes 11 people to make it work

I think that Clemson was partly delusional. They did make LSU punt on the first three drives, no? I think their game plan was to pressure Burrow which they did do to some extent. Zone did not work so they went with the press coverage and well...just like every other defense it did not work.

Their was not a college defense in 2019 that was going to stop LSU. Auburn did the best, but LSU did have some miscues.

I said before that Clemson would not stop this offense to any practical extent. I assume that 42 points is proof enough of that claim.

THAT is why we won the national title this year and had the best offense in the nation.

Brady's schemes were nice, but the plays weren't magic.

Burrow was very accurate and saw the open man. You can not cover Chase, Jefferson and Marshall 1-on-1, not consistently, and not all 3 on the same play. Moss and Clyde needed to be accounted for because they would catch too.

If the O-line gives you time to throw, you will win with that combination of players. It's almost impossible to stop that, 3 times in a row; and the WRs were downfield deep enough to make up for a sack on one of those plays.

Brennan needs to get with his guys as soon as possible, and work on the connections. There's little reason to suspect the same attack won't work again, he still has 2 known elite guys (Chase and Marshall), and we know more will step up.

And if they dropped safeties, we’d be sitting here saying:

I mean they can’t play with more than 11 on defense so that’s hard to do

Marshall was definitely the easier option, and was clear of his man sooner. Just goes to show how much confidence Burrow has had in Chase.

Clemson did not think that. It's just that they knew if they dropped safeties back to help, Burrow would chew them up with 15 and 20 yard gains. They picked their poison, and I think they chose wisely. By playing it the way that they did, they only needed three or four plays to misfire, and they would have had a ball game.

Poor Terrace Marshall.

Dude ALSO broke the single season reception TDs record, but just happened to be playing along side the biletnikoff winner and another dude that caught 18 TDs lol.

He's 3rd on the list the year he broke it. lol

Next year he's going to be playing with something to prove!!

They truly believed they could match up their best corners on our guys.

Yep. Some of the behind the scenes stuff I heard about on the radio was stuff like WRs talking to media and them saying to the reporters "let me see if I can talk or if Joe needs me to run goal line routes".

Venables is going to do what he does and that's bring pressure. Most quarterbacks that aren't Burrow don't hit Chase under duress no matter how open he is. I also think Venables believed in his corners and was proven wrong time and time again.

I started watching our "secondary"receivers from the bama game on. Moss & Clyde were WIDE open on literally every long TD pass Burrow threw. Clyde out in the flat, Moss over the middle. And Burrow still completed almost 80% of his passes going for the long ball. Cann't wait for the best high school TE in the country to cross over the middle while Chase & Marshall, etc, run deep routes.

LSU deserved to win but are we really pretending Chase didn't OPI on his first TD? It was about as egregious as they come. At least admit he got away with one there.

This reminds me of that Oklahoma sports writer who wrote after our 63-28 win over the Sooners, "I thought before the game Oklahoma's defense would be able to keep the game close but what I didn't know was LSU has three NFL-ready wide receivers, one NFL-ready tight end and a cyborg at quarterback throwing the ball to them."
