Dabo is the best coach in college football right now and I’m an Alabama fan. Saban got outcoached, his team got outplayed and Dabo had a better game plan. And to be quite honest you can’t be mad to lose to this man. He’s a great coach but his character is unmatched. He’s enthusiastic about life and things other than football and that’s how everyone should be.

[@sickof36]

Okay- As a Alabama fan for over 20 years(I’m young) congratulations to Clemson they beat the shit out of us. We didn’t show up too much hype. Haven’t played great all year. Defense sucked against Georgia and should’ve lost that game had their coaches not went for it on their 45. Saban as great as he is called a shitty game. I think and have said this all year that Tua is overrrated(I get the numbers but look at the competition) I believe if hurts started its a better game. Tua is a cocky sob which I like cause I’m a browns fan and I love Baker. Regardless this game was one of not the worse I’ve seen saban call. Congratulations Clemson on your perfect season.
