That’s good seeing that Deion is coming to Penn State after Franklin replaces saban at bama.
If we keep it up, maybe we will get Alabama in a NY6 game.
I would be perfectly fine with that. By the way, for all you people complaining about Franklin allegedly being a bad game day coach how did you all like Saban’s decision to go for 2 after they scored to go ahead 21-17 late in the game? Instead of going up by 5 they were only up by 4 and lost in OT If he goes up by 5 he forces LSU to go for 2 when they scored to make it 23-22. That means the worst they could do was tie the game with the FG with 20 seconds left IF and only IF LSU converted that 2 point conversion. Sheer coaching “genius” eh?
That was an idiotic decision by Saban and he doubled down on it in the press conference which made him look even dumber.
I'm willing to bet that every couch coach here would have made the correct decisions in real time and won the game for Alabama. The BWICAC laughs at glorified gym coaches like Nick Saban.
Not sure that would be a good thing. Bama would likely beat us handily but it could be a good measuring stick though.
Comical how bville and marshall seek out otherwise innocuous threads where they can make unprovoked attacks against other PSU fans who aren’t even participating in the thread. How many different threads are you two in, j#$king each other off? Aren’t your arms getting tired?
How many championships has Saban won?
yeah, but what has he done for them lately?
Yep, JF better than Saban, heard he is now the front runner to take over for Uncle Nick when he retires..That makes us ELITE.
FIRE. SABAN.
Brian Kelly @ LSU is not handcuffed the way he was at Notre Dame. If the stars align for him expect 3 to 4 NC in the next 10 years. Depending on the odds I would put a $1000 on him winning a NC next year, and yes, that means taking down Alabama and Georgia. As for Saban being 7-2 and not making it to the dance, he’ll get a reprieve because of past performance, but let it happen one or two years consecutively and you’ll see a change. The donors at Alabama have a great deal of influence.

Yes, it was a bad decision by Saban. That's where the similarities between him and Franklin end.
Far from Elite, but Drew has a better arm and is the reason to be excited for next year.That makes us ELITE.
FIRE. SABAN.
Kelly was faced with a similar predicament earlier in the game. LSU scored a TD and went up 13-9 xp pending. He kicked, went up 14-9.
Saban then scored and went up 15-14. Went for 2 (understand that here, probably EVERYONE goes for 2 here instead of taking the xp) and missed.
After LSU retakes the lead with a FG 17-15, Bama scores another TD. Up 21-17, not sure why you don't KICK THE XP here. 22-17 is just as good as 23-17.
My opinion, Saban coached like he was the underdog. If I don't make the first 2 pt try, I definitely don't attempt the second one when the gain was zero (FG doesn't hurt you, TD takes the lead regardless, but with you kicking XP you can at least kick a FG for the win instead of OT).
As for Kelly, I agreed with his 2 pt attempt in overtime. Win or lose on that play because I wouldn't want to get in a short field shootout with Bryce Young.

Bama losing probably cost Penn state a ny6 bid so I doubt it. Bama is likely to nab the spot most has us projected for in the orange bowl, moving us to the citrus.
I am amazed at just how bad Alabama defense is . Out of position too many men on the field broke assignments. They almost got caught twice on the 2 pt conversion with too many men
Exactly what I said to my son after the game (he graduated from Bama in 2020). He’s a PSU fan, but that didn’t go over very well.
The fact that Bob started the thread is the whole point. This thread got way too serious.
Bit Notre Dame fans everywhere are screaming that they're number one today!
Results based thinking here...that was the correct decision at that point, regardless if it worked out.
A 6 point game means they'd still need to make the XP after the TD to take the lead, and we'd be talking about a pressure kick with a college kicker, which certainly isn't a given. I'd much rather that than the 5 point lead with possibly only one more possession left for the opponent.
Not really...Alabama would be in a New Year's Six game regardless...all that it did today was push TCU into a potential playoff spot and open the door for a 2nd Big 12 team. However, with TCU traveling to Texas and Baylor the next two weeks, I doubt they end up in the playoff.
