Chad Morris offense being shut down...

[ambien_sky]

No, i'm not trying to start drama.  I support Chad Morris 100%,   but a lot of people,  including myself,  were talking him up because he helped build Clemson's offense to what it is now.  It's the same kind of offense we will be running,  and Alabama is absolutely crushing them. I hope Chad Morris realizes we are going to being playing Alabama every year.  I am sure he does.

What is everyone's take on this?   

[farmhawg]

Good grief.

[Acehawg]

Morris has been gone for years. Wow

[King Kong]

Same offense took Bama to the limit the last 2 years.

Difference? QB play

[carolinahogger]

My take is that you are trying to start drama.

[Coondog Hog]

GTFO

My take is that this offense beat them last year.

We haven't beaten them since 2006.

[Victom]

It's the same one that beat Alabama last year .Also the rookie quarterback is not doing them any favors.

[Buff]

Deshaun Watson needed a second chance to beat Bama too.  This is Kelly's first year as starter, and the first time he has played a defense that wants him dead.

[jgphillips3]

Bama has shut every offense down since about 2008.  Sure, one game here or there someone will gash them but it usually doesn't happen two times in a row.  Put Deshaun Watson in there and it would be different.

[Flrazrback]

Turn overs and poor execution from the Clemson offense. Can't win a game like this without solid play.

[rtr]

Maybe they miss Morris calling the plays?

[HogT]

You do understand that it's not the offense, that is getting beat it's the play calling. Huge difference between this OC and HCCM calling the plays. HCCM is considered one of the best play callers in the country.

[onebadrubi]

Morris was responsible for getting the to the NC nor is he responsible for anything to do with this game

[Bebop]

I understand OP's point. Thankfully, Morris brings the type of offense that has beaten Bama. Don't know if we will but it can't hurt not having an offense that can.

I took an Ambien once on a red-eye flight to Brazil.  My friend said it would make me sleep. Gave me hallucinations, too.

Drugs are bad.

Drugs are bad.

The first time I took Ambien,  It gave me a bad trip just like acid.  It really messed me up.  I was staring in the mirror at my face for like 20 minutes.  It was pretty ridiculous.  Never took it again,  however,  the sky did look awesome.

[Batesville Hogfan]

QB for Clemson can't pass for sh*t....one sided offense vs Bama defense that had 5 weeks to prepare is a bad recipe for any offense.

[Arkansas Fan]

1. Chad Morris isn't calling Clemson's offense.
2. It's the same offense that has put up tons of yards and points against Alabama the past two years.
3. Each year, each team is different than the past year, Deshaun Watson isn't playing QB for Clemson.
4. Any offense can be shut down.

All of your points are well taken.

[Hawghiggs]

 I'm not asking for Morris to win titles. I just want the program to go to a bowl game each year and be competitive.

[ChopSooie]

The announcers said the offense had to be changed to focus on their offensive line and running game this year. This was to protect their QB, who cant throw.

[Hawg Life]

No, i'm not trying to start drama.  I support Chad Morris 100%,   but a lot of people,  including myself,  were talking him up because he helped build Clemson's offense to what it is now.  It's the same kind of offense we will be running,  and Alabama is absolutely crushing them.

What is everyone's take on this?

Last year Clemson won.. This year Bama won. The common denominator for the losing team is a freshman QB. I think Morris offense works better without a dual threat QB.

[Acehawg]

Recruit and have a player ready that can throw?

[redeye]

I knew someone would post this, but who doesn't Alabama shut down?  Auburn scored the most with 26 points and Malzahn is supposedly Morris' mentor.

That is ridiculous. pathetic

Wow.
I want to win a title.

[rtr]

Wow.
I want to win a title.

It would be nice.

[mudder190]

How Stupid

[ambien_sky]

That is ridiculous. pathetic

How is having a bad reaction to a prescription sleeping medication pathetic?  Usually the term 'pathetic' refers to something willful on the part of the person being insulted.  For example,  your comment was 'pathetic.' 

Now I feel like I am teaching English class again.

[arkansasbred]

I chuckled to myself when I was getting on hogville thinking that someone would somehow find a way to bash CCM because Clemson's offense isn't looking too hot tonight.

Then I thought, surely not, he has been gone for three years. These aren't his players and this isn't his offense anymore.

Then I see this thread and just shake my head. I shouldn't even be surprised. *facepalm*

[NuttinItUp]

Clemson is 4 years removed from Morris. Can you understand that?

[TennesseeRaz]

That has about as much relevance to Arkansas as Jim Chaney's Bulldogs putting up 48 points on OU today.  But you loved him when he was here, right?

[JoeyCapital]

I noticed the Cleveland browns defense sucks this year. Maybe Sabans D is getting soft?

[Vantage 8 dude]

Simple: players still have to make plays. Doesn't matter what offensive or defensive schemes a team runs they still have to have the players and the execution to execute and win. Has NOTHING, NADA, ZERO, ZIP, NYET to do with Morris, and that applies even if Clemson had won. Next time please get a half a clue!

Like several others here, don't believe you're not trying to poke someting at all, yes, you are. However, tonight was pretty simple, Bama is the best machine the college game has produced in the last 30 years, and Clemson didn't have the player that was last seen running away with the NFL Rookie of the Year award and perhaps the NFL MVP award til he had a freak ACL injury. I think UGA takes them next week, I think there is just enough advantage to the UGA offense and boht defenses are very stout.


Go Hogs!

[jackflash]

good grief  let him coach a game first

Where did I bash Chad Morris?  I said I supported him 100% and I do.  I simply stated that we are going to be running an offense similar to Clemson's,  that just got shut down,  so I hope Chad Morris does things a little different in the SEC, being as we play Bama every year.  How is that bashing Chad Morris?   Please don't be a snowflake.

That same offense Also has beat Bama. Then again neither Offense was Chad.  Please don't be a snowflake and use fake facts kiddo.

[Hawghiggs]

Wow.
I want to win a title.

So does everybody. But I'll settle for not being shirty.

Kind of hilarious that people pre-judge a coach before he coaches a game! 

[FATHAWG08]

i hope the OP realizes this is the best offense for Arkansas to be able play with Bama.

[SooieGeneris]

Kelly Bryant threw the ball much better in most of Clemson's games than tonight. He's no DeShaun Watson, but how many college QBs are?

One of those INTs was a great play by the DB, on one Bryant was jack hammered as he threw the ball.

Play calling and all that had little to nothing to do with tonight's game. It wouldn't have mattered if Vince Lombardi or Bill Walsh had called plays for Clemson tonight.

Am I the only one who saw a sea of big white with red trim jerseys in the Clemson backfield all night? 'Bama's D Line manhandled Clemson on the LOS all night long. There are no play calls that work if your O line is getting pushed back into the backfield over and over.

That trick 'em stuff like some of the gimmick plays OU ran in the 1st half vs UGA works only if you're regular offense is clicking. You can't run a steady diet of gimmick plays as a base offense, they only work in special situations mostly.

In the 2nd half, OU dropped the gimmicks, they likely used them all up in the 1st half, not just to do something different but because their base offense wasn't working well either. UGA won the LOS in the 2nd half just as 'Bama did all night.

Clemson really overachieved this year to get this far after losing Watson, Mike Williams, Wayne Gallman and so many of the stars from last season. Last year, they played 'Bama in the finals meaning the Tide had only a week to prep, not a month..

'Bama was seething over the reports of their demise the last month, plus playing the team that cost them the NC a year ago. They were much fresher and healthier than they looked late in the regular season.

It wouldn't have mattered what college offense they were playing tonight or who the play caller was the way they dominated the LOS on defense.

'Bama in the Saban era almost never loses a season opener or any game where much is on the line with extra time to prepare. When they lose to uptempo offenses is when they are in mid or late regular season games with just a week to prep when maybe they aren't as healthy.

Playing them in a phone booth with an offense like BB's gives you little to no chance as we saw. CMs offense doesn't guarantee anything, it's about giving us a better chance and the uptempo offense gives us a little better chance. No college team will beat them if they control the LOS like they did tonight.

[logic]

You can't judge a team or coach on one game.  Every game is different and no team wins every game.

Freshman QB who was a deer in headlights against a healthy Bama Front 7.....

Oh. And no Deshaun Watson....

First Chad Morris is no longer there, Second, Bama has also shut down Gus, Bobby P and every other coach they have faced, at one time or another

[20gauge]

Clemson offense wasn't near as good as it was last year. Graduated 70% of their offensive production and mainly an all world playmaker in Watson. Clemson was supposed to be able to win this in defense according to most experts.

Bama showed up ready to play, like a disrespected team.

[garagelifter]

Yes his offense got shut down in the playoff!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Which means it reached the playoff .
Stupid troll
