Leach to Miss St I love the talent he'll be able to get, not sure how successful he can be there. It'll be entertaining to watch either way.

What a week for weird coaching hires.

How about the North Dakota State Bison?

3 Straight FCS National Championships and 37 wins in a row. FCS Champs 8 of the last 9 years.

I don't care what level you are playing at, that is very impressive.

They will be dancing in the streets of Fargo tonight.

They are a machine though today’s game was fun to watch. I was trying to remember, was Wentz a Bison?

LSU is currently a 5-point favorite for the game tonight, after the line opened initially at 3 and was quickly bet up to 6.

The great thing about Alabama being out is that we get to listen to Nick Saban in the pregame show. He's really good at this.

LSU's offense is under serious pressure already. Haven't really seen this at all this season.

LSU is looking shaky early. So are the Pac-12's officials, who were inexplicably given the keys to this game.

LSU got a tying TD on a 52-yard pass play, following a couple of successful running plays. Maybe now they will settle in.

Clemson looks like the better team. Sigh.

LSU takes its first lead, 21-17.

ChickenStu · Posted: Mon Jan 13, 2020 7:10 pm Post subject:

What a drive by LSU to end the half, as Burrow gets a huge 29-yard gain on 3rd and 10 from the 35 with about 20 seconds left. Sets up first and goal and they get the TD. 28-17 now with just a few seconds left in the half, and LSU also receives the opening kickoff of the 2nd half. Chance to take control of this one for them.

This game will probably take 5 hours to complete.

LSU clearly the best team, what a job by Eddie O, Burrow and the entire team.

Very impressive.

I was pretty impressed with Burrow's arm and judgment. I'm not sure what was up with Lawrence, though. At times, he was putting the ball right on the money. For much of the game, though, everything was high. He's lucky he didn't get picked a few times. And then he threw that groundball late in the game. What the heck?

The play of the game may have been the spearing penalty. The guy almost got away with it. There seems to be an instinct that causes guys to lead with their helmets. Teams try to coach that instinct out of players, but sometimes you see players do stupid things in the heat of the moment. After that guy got ejected, the Clemson defense didn't seem the same.
