Lmao "this man coaches like hes broke and starving and havnt won a thing in life " hype him like that's his best friend

[kennyfrancis]

If Alabama loses to LSU oh boy will this be a hilarious video

[chiefs]

At the end of this season he will say:
1. Clemson
2. Clemson
3. Clemson
4. Clemson
5. Clemson

Stephen A "this man coaches like he's broke and starving and never won a damn thing in his life"

[harambe]

And Clemson just beat Alabama for the National Championship LOL

[hassanmonroe]

Lmao Stephen a “ESPN” Smith back at it lol I see why espn put the company on this man back😂😂

[haynstyle]

Tua isn’t transparent? in the natty the safety was looking at Tua’s eyes then he went right to Smith and scored the game winning touchdown. He fools the defenses with his eyes all the time.

[braden]

But they just got blown out by clemson

[jbrady]

If Alabama loses at any point in this season this video will be very awkward

[RedstreakTV]

Did this man say Tua stares down his receivers and doesn’t look off even if he’s praising Alabama what a horrendous take. Tua is one of the best at looking off defenders just look at the game winning throw in the championship game last year.. wtf is Stephen A talking about when he says that

[DontCallmeLadale]

Alabama is COLLEGE FOOTBALL right now lmao

[randommindz]

Clemson wants their top 5, Stephen sayin....

Funny, people say "Soft schedule" this year. Last year it was, "He gets the best players". The year before that it was, "they dont travel to cold weather climates". The year before that, "Bama must be buying players." The year before that, "S.E.C-SPN".
I even heard that "Saban paying off refs." People are running out of excuses.
So, for those who yell, "Soft schedule" ....they want a gauntlet of OSU, MICHIGAN, LSU, Notre Dame, UCF, OKLAHOMA, GEORGIA, PENN STATE, CLEMSON, WASHINGTON STATE, NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTS, L.A. RAMS, and then the playoffs on the road. As their team continue to play the Rutgers, Oregon State Georgia State, and Navy.

[sircus]

Stephen A. should be immortalized in history for this

[samnuu]

Schedule blah blah blah...in the words of the ROCK, "It does't matter! Just bring your candya$$ so BAMA can give LSU the SMACKDOWN"...can you what TIDE IS COOKING..LOL...count down...

[Siixfive]

Stephen A just TRIGGERED the whole college football fans 😂

[rainman]

The fact Stephen A thinks Tua stares down his wrs too much shows he doesn't know anything!

[vino]

I'll be glad when Alabama beat LSU so I can stop hearing all these haters .

[FlyingCookie]

He's not Stuart Scott, but you've gotta admit that Stephen A is making some laughs and a legacy within ESPN.

5. CLEMSON!
Why?!
Because they just shut down the best coach in the nation
4. CLEMSON!
Why?!
Because they put up 44 on Alabama while holding them to 16
3. CLEMSON!
Why?!
Because they have Trevor Lawrence a true freshman who has never lost a game and threw 0 interceptions and led Clemson to 44 in the naty.

2. CLEMSON!
Why?!
Because Dabo Swinney has lost 2 coaches in the last 5 years as opposed to Nick Sabans loss of 11!

1. CLEMSON!
WHY?!
Because they have Trevor Lawrence, Travis Etienne, Justyn Ross, Tee Higgins and a slew of blue collar talent that play with a chip on their shoulders because fools like Stephen A keeps disregarding them!

Clemson 44
Ala-who? 16
