You guys know 1st Round DT Dexter Lawrence was suspended and Clemson still absolutely dominated up front so astoundingly that Alabama tried an obvious fake FG from no man’s land when down three scores? Their first points were scored by a 5 star CB, another 5 star CB got their second INT off Tua who had to resort to trying to make plays because of Clemson’s dominant DL/LB controlling the pace of each play. Lawrence got off to a slow start even with Tee Higgins, Amari Rodgers, and HH favorite Hunter Renfrow. Higgins gave Lawrence confidence after a big play, their OL controlled the game despite playing the best DT in football. The first two TDs came on the ground & the third was a catch caught by the same RB who was carving up a Nick Saban defense. It was already 31-16 when freshman Justyn Ross took over the game and made Lawrence look better with two amazing catches & runs. You can have the best QB ever fitting the ball in however you want, you still need guys making plays. Look at Ross’ one handed catch vs ND. AMAZING THROW right? If Ross doesn’t catch it no one is taking about how great a throw it was.
Recruit the best fucking players, 3 fucking deep, at every fucking position, every fucking year. Jimmy Lake should be the standard of recruiting, not the exception. Ikaika Malloe netted the best DL class & best Poly class ever and he didn’t crack the Top10 of recruiters this year. I’ve been watching Tui play since his soph/fresh year & of course I was excited to land the biggest recruit since Shaq, but what makes me even happier is knowing he will be pushed, supported, and backed up by Paama & Bandes.
