Rogers carving up. Is that now 22 TD passes with 0 interceptions in the last 8 weeks? incredible.

College National Championship game today, Alabama v Clemson (II)
Crimson Tide going for two in a row, on the back of an 18 year old freshman quarterback. Clemson quarterback Deshaun Watson is a star. His performance in a losing effort last year was unreal. He better hope he doesn't play too well, or he'll end up at the Browns.
-
Watson's stocks have gone down a bit this year due to his high INT numbers, but if he has a big game here, his stocks will skyrocket, because this Alabama defense is full of big time talent that will occupy a number of the first round spots in the draft.
The game is a bit one sided at the moment. Bama up 14 - 0 with 10 minutes still left in the 2nd quarter.
-
stats-wise a pretty even game. Similar numbers for yardage and first downs.
Getting them in different ways though. Alabama with more effective running game, but fewer and shorter passes; Clemson not effective on the run, but their passing game going well.
Then Alabama start the 2nd half with a fumble recovery and a field goal
-
Clemson starting to roll now
-
-
and bang, 88-yard drive and Clemson hit the front for the first time
-
@Dice you reckon Alabama releasing their OC last week is having an effect? Because if this offence doesn't get the job done, that's going to be a massive talking point.

I think the passing game has been a problem much of the season against the ranked teams. Hurts just seems to miss a lot on the long throws and has trouble going through reads.
Hurts just ran in the go ahead TD. What a game this has turned into.
-
1 drive later Clemson back in front.
And bama have 1 second to score, with a quarterback who can't throw long.
-
wait, what happened? Did Clemson go with the on-side kick? that's insane!

Great game.
I can't see Watson going lower than the 3rd pick with that performance. Massive game. 420 yards and 3 TDs against the best defense in college and in the biggest game of the year.
Better go to the 49ers or the Browns because the Jets have too many other needs to be reaching for yet another project QB!
Looks like it's going to be an overall poor year for QBs in the draft though so could be a boring first round from a trade perspective because no one will be willing to pay to move up.
-
Browns and 49ers will probably focus on the o-line and d-line with their picks, but the Bears will definitely take Watson (and ship Cutler off somewhere).
That little WR for Clemson was the difference maker, he was separating himself from the defender everytime. The Alabama QB was merely a RB pretending to be a QB, similar to how Auburn used a WR at QB a few years ago.
-
Many have the Browns taking pass rusher, Myles Garrett, with their 1st pick. He's compared to Von Miller a lot. He's a noted freak, and his combine will be highly anticipated. He's 6'5, 262lbs and said to run a 4.4.
Some are saying if Josh McDaniels gets the 49ers HC job, he might trade the 1st rounder for Jimmy Garoppolo. Not sure how 49er fans feel about that. A 1st for someone who has only 93 passes in their career seems pretty steep.
Great game.

Someone might be dumb enough to pay to move up, I mean, the Rams and Eagles gave a king's ransom to move up for fricken Goff and Wentz last year. But in saying that, that might be the very reason why teams might not trade up to get a QB, because those two didn't give the payoff(yet) that you'd want for such a big trade.

As expected, the Chargers are leaving San Diego for LA.
Not expected, the LA Rams have just hired Washington OC Sean McVey as their new head coach. McVey is only 30.
