@ABWorsham:
Te’o was pretty much a non-factor.
That surprised me, but yesterday I saw a mock NFL draft that had him at 16th pick of the draft.
Before or after the game? Â :-)
He looked tentative and out of position and when he was in position he couldn’t seem to make a play. Some of that is on how good The Tide executed. That O-line was spectacular and that Lacy (Tide TB) had great vision and patience. I don’t think Te’o is a bad player just a bit over-hyped because of his misfortune and being a good guy. Te’o’s game stats. Shazier’s stats. Te’o had more interceptions but fewer sacks and I saw one stat line that had tackles for loss which also goes to Shazier.
@ABWorsham:
Oregon and Alabama would have been a great game, don’t think Oregon wins, but it would have been a much better game. It was clear that ND was no match for Alabama. Kansas State was no match for Oregon.
I know we will have a plus one game in 2015, I hope in ten years to have a playoff system.
Maybe but anytime the Ducks come up against a good defense they don’t look all that special and the Tide D is better than Stanford’s. And the high powered offense can’t score when it’s on the sidelines as Bama just pounded down their throat. It would have been a better first half but the Tide would just have ground them down.
The mock draft was before the game.
