Before I get started on this epic match up. Let's talk about the thread I made a month ago. It was about how upset I was that Ohio st got in over Penn st. I told you all it was the biggest travesty in history of sports. I still stand behind that..... It was. I also remember how most of you said I was crazy and how the committee got the 4 right. Did they? I think you all know the answer. You all know how much I hate and despise ESPN and I think the dilute your minds. They do/ They did. It's similar to the Heisman trophy....that was a ESPN award. That's all it was..... You really think for one second that Watson would have scored only 6 points vs LSU? SMH.....
I don't like the direction of college football because of these reasons. It has made the average fan dumb.....stupid....and sheep-like. Nobody thinks for themselves anymore. They rely on ESPN and what some guy said at a bar to write the gospel that is called college football. I hate this conference pride nonsense it's another part of the ESPN hype machine that has contributed to the problem.
I watch this forum struggle picking games...why do think that is? You watch ESPN and listen to the " nonsense ".... What do I tell you all the time? USE YOUR EYES..... YOUR EYES! Don't listen to others....It's great to learn from others. But block out the nonsense. I read a thread earlier today where the guy sites the fact that the reason Bama was gonna blow Clemson out was that they struggled earlier in the year..... But yet doesn't point when....shhh.....lean in, this is a secret...shhhh.... so did Bama. Bama gave up 40 + points to Ole Miss and 30 to Arkansas.... but that's like the " secret "... nobody wants to talk about it. Does teams get better? Yes. Do they sleep walk at times? Yes.
Alabama vs Clemson
Man. You guys ready? This is gonna be great. Now let's get started with this..... Remember when I told you last week that the game between Clemson and Ohio st wasn't about Watson vs Ohio st defense? Remember when I told you game was more about how the Clemson D line would dominate that match up? Well, listen close....I'm about to you the secret/secrets to this game.
Alabama has been very successful defensively this season due to one reason, pass rush. They finally have an elite pass rush under Saban. In most years this has not been the case. Now can anybody tell me why this matters so much??? You don't have to add another hat to the box. For the most part Bama has made it rushing 4 and dropping 7. That is a tremendous benefit.....only one other team in the country can do the same..... Who? Yes, Clemson.... Now here is the little secret about that.... Clemson has the deeper and better overall D line. I know that will shock you, but it's true.
Alabama has some freak athletes.... they really do. But none better IMO then, Menka Fitzpatrick. That guy really might be the best " athlete " that Saban has ever had.... The guy is a freak among freaks. I really like the pieces overall on this defense. But with that said I think the biggest weakness on this defense is the secondary. They do 2 things when I watch/scout this team. 1) They hold the receivers alot...and get away with it more than most for some reason. 2) Get lost.....Yes, they actually get lost in coverage at times.
Look overall I have said time and time again... .Alabama is the gold standard of college football, they have deserved that. Last year if you read my thread on this game I'm not sure anybody called to the " T " like I did. I heard crazy nonsense talk about how Clemson wouldn't score 14 points in that game..... You can argue either way on how the game played out last year, but I for one, and most of the country felt the better team lost. I felt like Clemson outplayed Alabama in that game and it took a onside kick and a kick return for a TD to win that game. Don't fool yourselves Bama and SEC homers.... Clemson controlled that game and the line of scrimmage.
This game is more about 1 person.... DeShaun Watson. He will be the best player on the filed Monday night. He will stretch this defense again.... if the Clemson team doesn't make any mistakes like special teams or multiple turnovers.... Clemson will win this game walking away. Clemson will control the line of scrimmage in this game. They will harass Hurts ALL NIGHT LONG. They will, it's what they do. This true freshman has done a good job this year.... not great, but good....
One of the biggest things about this game NOBODY is talking about is the fact this year Clemson, will come into this game fully funded. Mike Williams and Deon Cain did not play in last years game. This year Mike Williams will dominate the secondary of Alabama.... Deon Cain will hit you deep.... Clemson WR will torch the secondary of the Alabama defense allowing Watson and Gallman to have running lanes.
I'm interested in seeing what the first quarter will look like for Alabama if what happens what I think will happen... I suspect Clemson to score 2 times in the first quarter.... How will Alabama react? This isn't Ole Miss....you won't be able to run wild and get back in it like that.... I also expect Clemson to turn Alabama over in this game... I know most see it the other way. But Alabama will be in uncomfortable situations where they have never been before and will be pressing.
The fact that this line is a Touchdown is Laughable....
Any comments or questions, have at it...... No trolling in this thread
