LSU is pushing Clemson back on their heels. Clemson will need some breaks to get back into the game.

Turn out the lights.... the party's over...

Congrats, gumby on your Mania win.

LSU 42-25 = 67 just got the over -and- probably the National Championship for gumby.

Yeah but I don't think it will matter much, he can make winners out of any ol' pro......ala Rodgers, Brady.

And he has guts!!

I was thinking more about....."do you believe in miracles?".

If I were Cinci, I'd draft at least one LSU WR to keep him company.

Not sure what to make of Higgins... seems like a bit of a pussy.

And I really don't know what to make of Lawrence... last year's playoff run impressed, but this year vs. top defenses I've seen jack... at least from his arm.

You mean the miracle that is Don Meredith's singing?

Aren't there a couple already in Cleveland?

No I need more like the parting of the Red Sea or something like that. In 8:51 or less.

Joe reminds me some, of watching Matt Ryan at Boston College when Steve Logan was coaching him.. like Ryan, learn not to run, but learn how to Duck! like that last Joe dive

Well I think it's safe now Mr gumby can work on his Championship acceptance speech. Congratulations on your hard fought win !

........and geezzus I had my worst college and pro pickem and came in second in both the Survivor and bowl mania. Nobody remembers who was second! (where did I hear that?)

But hey it was fun!

Ohio State would have got buzzed by LSU! (but almost beat Clemson)

Have to agree... would love to have tOSU CBs matchup, but LSU just has too many weapons.

... but it pissed me off the way we lost to Clemson... namely Trevor's running... he ain't all that as a runner.

Thanks, and i will work on that. Back to Back Champ Skeet! ..RIP brother ?

And now.....who gives a shit. (unless you had money riding on it....did you?)

Neither team likeable enough to root for.

The only interesting thing about this game will be to look back on it in 10 years to see which QB came out with the better NFL career.

Geeezzzus this Burrow kid is good.

And you wonder why I have him as a mortal lock going to the Bengals? I'd trade Mayfield and our first round pick to Cinci right now for Joe, and not give it a second thought.

A bigger and slower version of Lamar Jackson. When LSU brought the heat, he threw some downright errant passes.
