This may be against the board rules but if it is, so be it. If SC wants to make me stand in the corner or even kick me out of the clubhouse then that's ok too but I just have to respond to these two posts.
MD, you truly are a moron sometimes...
Flame me all you want, I don't care. I've stated my position so I'm done and will not argue with you further about this game.
NALT, as for rules, you can express your opinion without personal attacks. This isn't the place for a flame war.
As for your opinion, I pretty much agree. Sark did a better job against Clemson than Kiffin did against Washington.
JH still needs time to develop as a passer -- it will come, but he's just a true freshman. The few downfield passing attempts by JH were terribly overthrown; JH needed to put more air under the ball to allow his receiver to fight for the ball. Some time in Spring Practice, plus Summer 7-on-7 drills, should help with immensely with his timing and accuracy.
(Any question as to JH's development as a passer during this year would go to Kiffin's responsibility, but I don't put any blame there either. By the time JH was selected to be the QB, the season had already started, and it was "get ready for the next game." A coach can only teach so much before a player's head will explode, and JH was doing a remarkable job for a true freshman leading his team through an undefeated season.)
Aside from the refs, which 2 points out, and Clemson's much more experienced QB, I think the reason Clemson won was because eventually the Bama defense wore out. That was Clemson's plan all along, get upwards of 80 plays and see what happens then.
Bama has been moving this season towards a more hurry up offense, because it does not give the defense time to make adjustments. While it has its advantages, it also has disadvantages. In this game, it allowed Bama to make some plays when Clemson wasn't ready, but it also increased the number of possessions, which ultimately worked against Bama in the end.
It might be better, when playing a team like Clemson, to let some clock run between offensive plays, before getting to the line of scrimmage, especially when your team has a double digit lead.
