For some of the Draft Fans
Dont’a Hightower what do you think of him. I’ve seen him play a few times but not scouting him. From first glances looks like a 3-4 guy thats too slow to play 4-3 is this right. Could he be a nice fit for the eagles
Of course
but I wanted some things to watch out for beforehand

Ended up
being exposed in this game. LSU was just all-around awful tonight, the ESPN schills tried to talk them up as long as possible but eventually even they couldn’t maintain the hype. Bad news for the BCS, as now there are a handful of one-loss teams that can make an argument (some compelling, some not so much) that they should have been champs.

I can't sleep...
so I turned this game on. I’ll be sleeping in minutes. Thanks BCS! Thanks for allowing me to be able to predict what teams are going to the “national championship” 6 weeks into the season!! Thanks for issuing me the knowledge that my team won’t be able to compete for the championship 3 weeks into the season! Thanks for caring about sponsorship money more than the integrity of the sport! Thanks for not realizing that with a tournament, many more people would become fans knowing that their favorite team will at least have a shot at the National Championship by winning their conference! Thanks for treating your players like indentured servants! Thanks for molesting kids! Thanks for pretending to care about anything! Thanks for these awesome little mini-games during half time! Thanks for sucking!
Enjoy the game guys. I’m with Kempski. The NCAA fucking sucks and I hate it. I wish I liked it. I really do. But I can’t. It’s stupid and is merely a mirage when it comes to competitiveness.

good one
I grew up in Pa. but my job has taken me deep into the swamps of louisiana where all you here is "who dat, who dat" and on clear nights when the wind is gently blowing from the northwest you can hear the wimpers and sobs of jerry and his herd of cowgirls.

facebook sucks anyway.
Good choice, guy I see mostly on the TGP.
I think everyone should be bilateral coordinated.
Game over
ROLL TIDE!

great game!!
When I die, I want the Philadelphia Eagles to be the pallbearers at my funeral. So they can let me down, one last time.
As Comic Book Guy would say
Worst. Game. Ever.
I swear I felt like Tim Tebow was on the field.
heh here i made this for u

The game only proves one thing:
The BCS is a flawed and corrupt system where you dont even have to win your division or conference championship to be considered the national champion.

Alabama Proved they are the best team in the county tonight, did they not

The Alabama defense allowed 9 touchdowns all year. ALL YEAR. Greatest collegiate defense ever?

that is one damn impressive state… it would be hard to find one better.

I can't buy that
Didn’t they lose the first time they played them. How can you be the greatest ever when you didn’t win every game.

Rewatched it and that Alabama defense is just scary.
There was one instance where Courtney Upshaw literally picked Jordan Jefferson up off the turf like he was nothing after the play. Upshaw just grabbed him by the side of his arms and set him up on his feet (and Jefferson is a pretty big guy). Upshaw is just a monster. Good size, great strength, long arms, violent hands and nice burst. He’ll make plays at the next level.
And Dont’a Hightower is crazy physical. Hightower is really slow but man, he was just laying people out all over the field and it didn’t matter if you had the ball or not. He’ll fit in perfectly with the 49ers, Steelers or Ravens culture. I’d love to have a guy with Hightower’s demeanor but he just isn’t a fit for the 4-3 defense no matter how much I like him. He’s pretty fluid and he can avoid blocks but he’ll really struggle to get to the perimeter against NFL speed and blocking. Really nice 3-4 LB though.
Dre Kirkpatrick is swagger. That guy has an ora about him that is just fun and intimidating for opponents. I didn’t like him a ton heading into the year but he really improved. He suddenly started hitting like a safety out on the perimeter. And he will let you know that he hit you. What really stood out to me was when he was screaming at Jordan Jefferson when JJ hurt Mosley, he is so passionate. He’ll make a hell of a Tampa 2 corner. He is a bit leggy and he doesn’t transition well but if you put him in a zone scheme, he’ll be a star. He is SO physical, probably the most physical corner I remember seeing. He’ll be an emotional leader for a defense.
Josh Chapman isn’t getting any press but the guy dominates the line of scrimmage in the run game. He’s a Casey Hampton type guy.
Robert Lester to me is a guy who is going to be a nice NFL player. He has all the potential in the world. He has flashed the ability to support the run. He has natural range on the back half of the defense and he comes really close to making a lot of plays. He can play free safety or strong safety in the NFL and he really does everything well.
Mark Barron is basically Adrian Wilson 2.0
And then guys like Menzie and Harris are going to have their roles in the NFL too.
And LSU had a bunch of freaks too. Mingo, Montgomery and Brockers are all forces on the defensive line. Claiborne is the next shutdown corner. And Eric Reid is a freak at safety with his combination of size, speed and hitting ability.
