        3 touchdown on 3 broken plays for Bama. Clemson is out playing them but it doesn't take much for the talent level of Bama to equalize it.

          Not that anyone cares about my rule obsessing, but it is different in college. In high school, the ball has to cross R's restraining line AND touch the ground before K can legally touch it. In college, if the ball breaks the plane of R's restraining line and stays on R's side, it is legal for K to touch. Seems like a weird rule to me but it's legal. Props to Alabama for exploiting it.

            Seemed like an easy call since there was 20 or so yards open in that side.

We cannot expect to experience the blessing of faith by standing inactive on the sidelines any more than we can experience the benefits of health by sitting on a sofa watching sporting events on television and giving advice to the athletes. And yet for some, “spectator discipleship” is a preferred if not primary way of worshipping." -Pres. Uchtdorf

              I don't think so, but maybe I'm wrong.

                Right. I swear the college rule used to be the same as the high school one though. Maybe Clemson thought so, too!

                  These big plays for Alabama are getting a bit ridiculous.
                  Ain't it like most people, I'm no different. We love to talk on things we don't know about.

                    Crap. I thought Clemson could take down the giant.

                      That TE going out of bounds gave Clemson a sliver of hope.

                      There's three rules that I live by: never get less than twelve hours sleep; never play cards with a guy who's got the same first name as a city; and never go near a lady's got a tattoo of a dagger on her body.

                            I think the ball barely broke the plane, but calling it so late is weird. Either you saw it when he reached or you didn't.

                                Wrong

                                Just has to go ten yards.
