No matter what you say him not being there did make a difference. Saban would never have forced him out if there wasn't some wild disrespect!! That team wasn't the same!!
Alabama did just fine without overrated Kiffin. It's more about Alabama's talent than play calling in my opinion.
Definitely don't think talent was the issue. Losing Bo hurt and Hurts can't throw it downfield well. Bama couldn't eat the clock like they wanted or put the nail in the coffin when they had a 10 point lead.
The alaBummer QB is a true freshman, he's great but the true freshman in him came out tonight.
He'll leave early for the NFL with his talent but we still have to face him for 2 more years.
Our D will really have to get after him and rattle his cage a lot to Win against them.
Great game !
VFL...GBO!!!

All season I have seen Alabama destroy inferior opponents, including Tennessee. They have looked like a different talent on the field and on a level that nobody else could reach for years. Lately it has seemed that nobody could field a team that could compete with Alabama for 60 minutes. Tonight I truly saw them meet a superior team in Clemson. While Alabama took the first half, Clemson controlled Alabama the entire second half. Alabama's defense could not stop Clemson's offense, and Clemson's defense suffocated Alabama's offense. It was a great game.
Right. I don't disagree with what you're saying but you have to admit towards the end you seen uncharacteristic mistakes outta that defense. Fatigue, maybe? Clemson ran 89 plays on them.
That is very true. I can't remember the last time I saw the Bama defense lose them a game on the final drive. I guess it'd be 2011 LSU.
They made Hurts beat them throwing and he couldn't quite do it.
Yup. I'm glad Alabama lost, but dang Clemson was already stealing our recruits and now they have played in the last two NCs and won one. Plus they have won 10+ games each of the last 6 seasons. We have got to start seeing some on-field success at Tennessee. I am tired of waiting. It's our time!

I'm in the minority but I think we are close. Solely my opinion but I do. We are close to breaking through IMO.

Had Bo Scarbrough not gone down, it would not have been a contest. But he did. And Bama wasn't the same without him. I just hope nobody in the NFC North drafts Watson.
