The Tide got rolled alright. Clemson made Alabama look like Notre Dame. The first clue should had been the overwhelming size and speed of Clemson.
Actually, I think Alabama was, on average, bigger. But Clemson was faster, no doubt about it. And, I think Clemson had better all-around ATHLETES.
I was not a Clemson fan, and in fact I disliked Clemson, and I despised its coach, Dabo Swinney. My disdain of Swinney stems from some snarky comments he made a couple years ago after a win. I guess perhaps he has matured, because he was all class last night.
I was VERY impressed with Clemson last night. Clemson should be the odds-on #1 pre-season pick for 2019.
