Numbers are regular season stats in yards:
Alabama Offense....... 40 Pass 9 Run
Clemson Defense....... 11 Pass 20 Run
Clemson Offense....... 7 Pass 37 Run
Alabama Defense.......9 Pass 1 Run
On defense, Clemson should stop ‘Bama’s passing game and could slow ‘Bama’s running game.
‘Bama's defense should stop Clemson’s running game cold but the Clemson offense could have success with college’s 7th best passing game. ‘Bama’s 1st against the run but 9th against the pass.
Looks favorable for ‘Bama but if Clemson’s run defense holds and they find success in their very good passing game it could be close. Obviously, a good passing offense scores points more quickly than a running offense. So if one team had to come from behind, Clemson’s passing game would have a better chance than Alabama’s running game.
Lol, the Clemson USC rivalry takes no prisoners.
Come on, Clemson! Darn.
I’m a SEC fan and I pull for Bama but can pull for Aurburn and others. I like Sperrier. Thought the boos were in bad taste IMHO.
;) Tonight I am. Tide has washed, rinsed and hung out, long enough. It was a great game last time these two matched up. It’s time...
Besides, as an Oklahoma die heart Sooner fan, it was too fun beating Alabama three seasons ago. I want more.
It’s kinda neat that ESPN has decided to use the “Stones” as their bumper music, just as Trump did.
Must be the year of “The Stones”.
Fred and Barney.
Assist from Steven Wright.
/wishful thinkin' ;-)
Yeah, they start playing “Gimme Shelter” and I start singing and drumming on my wife’s knee.
Any white kids allowed to play?
(or HGH, etc ?)
I don’t know. Are there any white kids in the South?
Clemson is a pretty dirty team and that’s coached. Maybe not coached to play a clean game
BS. Bama is throwing many cheap shots and the refs are blind to it.
This game is rocking tonight.
I knew Hurts would struggle a bit, and Watson is feeling it now.
Clemson is not playing dirty. You sound like MSNBC.
Fake News.
Alabama defense is tired. Alabama offense has weapons left.
Here comes Bama.
Bama scores!
Buckle Up, it’s going be a heckuva finish.
Hurts just kicked their ass. I would hate to see a Bobby at the end of this one.
