In a slimmed down episode of Make Plays! CFB Podcast, Chris and I break down the National Championship Game between Clemson and Alabama.

  • Does Clemson have the talent to match up with Alabama in the trenches?
  • Can Deshaun Watson evade Alabama’s oppressive front seven?
  • Is Alabama still vulnerable in the secondary?
  • Can Clemson bottle up Derrick Henry?
  • Can Jake Coker carry Alabama’s offense again if he needs to?

We also chatted briefly about coaches who get snippy with the media, and whether/how a coach’s reputation shapes how we react to their antics. This particular conversation may be of interest (or may sound awfully familiar) to fans of UCLA over the last four years.

Also, be sure to tune in to this week’s What’s Bruin Podcast when it goes live. They’re going to hash out some of the arguments for and against the addition of Rip Scherer as tight ends coach and Marques Tuiasosopo as quarterbacks coach and the promotion of Kennedy Polamalu to offensive coordinator.
