Good game by the Coogs, once again Jimbo was out coached.
FSU was flat from the beginning and Houston was fired up and ready

1.) Henry - ALA

2.) McCaffrey - STAN

3.) Fournette - LSU

4.) Freeman - ORE

5.) Elliott - OSU

6.) Cook - FSU



WAT? Cook does have the highest yds/att by 1.3 yds/att, which is impressive.

Cook = 33 yards rushing, 61 yards total :pirate:

Garbage worn down after 2 quarters.
It isn't that they're worn down, it's that they're playing Alabama. I'm sure it's a result of every part of the process from recruiting to the moment they take the field. Any other team you watch has games where you just know the guys aren't hyped - they act defeated, clearly didn't come to play. You'll never see Alabama play like that. They play every game like it's the most important one of their season. Even more granular than that - they could be up 100pts and they'd still treat a 3rd down like they'll lose the game if they don't convert. That's what's different about them compared to every other team I've seen play. It's why they are so frequently the best team in the country.

I'm not supposed to say any of this as an Auburn alum, but it is what it is.

This is what separates great teams from good teams. Alabama is a perfect example of this - Reference the late '90's and early '00's.
With the current coaching at FSU they will not return to the great team they were in the '90's. Jimbo may be a decent coach but is not the one to take a team to the top. FSU has won, in spite of the coaching, on player talent alone.

And I still stick by my statement that Dalvin Cook is the best RB in the country. One bad game (a lot can be blamed on coaching) does not change that.

Auburn did that in their NC season - shitty coaching didn't stop Cam and crew. Then they did the opposite a couple of years later - amazing coaching and mediocre talent had them one play away from another (goddamn FSU :rant: )

Fair enough. I think Henry and McCaffrey were better. Heisman voting results and today and yesterday's bowl game performances agree with me.

UGA looks better in this bowl game with an interim coach than they did with Richt.

Or maybe PSU is just that bad...
