The question is - can he pass though?  He didn't look like it today.  It wasn't until the Oklahoma offense was pretty beat up and started to shade the run that their pass defense started getting exposed.

SO..........
  *why EXACTLY.....did Saban / Smart have NO answer for John Football............or NICK MARSHALL?

Given a YEAR........of meetings.....following home loss to Aggies
  *why were they embarrassed yet again?....looking confused / struggled to line up ....Aggies 628 YARDS TOTAL O

WHY......couldn't they stop mighty Nick M ....2014?....630 yards TO
  *couldn't get lined up several times ....no answer for Malzahn

note:  they were able to stay in above games because opposing D was weak
 *Clemson O is very similar to what Auburn does
 
WHY.....were they embarrassed by Ohio St?.....horrific pass coverage .....looked confused....Saban looking like Frank Beamer on SL.....537 TO......almost 300 rushing
  *note : Cardale a great runner ....OSU essentially running an Oregon style O with more physical athletes

I don't know for sure.....gotta look at it MUCH closer
  *but I think?.......Tennessee is similar to Clemson
meaning athletically.....and what they try to do on O and D
 
Watson being better than Dobbs of course...Clemson D better than the Vols

Cam had 39 yards on 22 carries for 1.8 yard avg in the 2010 Iton Bowl. How is that running on Bama? And also what does that have to do with Clemson/Bama game?

Watson's play from yesterday won't cut it. FG's against Bama won't win you the ball game. I think for Clemson to win they will have to have a much better game through the air so that Bama won't be able to just tee off on Watson. In all honesty, I just hope for a good game. I'd hate for the final game of the CFB season to be over before halftime because of turnovers or poor execution.

bookieass,why do you SEC/Bama hating fools always go back 5 years to make comparisons. PLLLZZZ bet your HOME on Clemson ,because Manziel ran on the TIDE!!!  LOL!!!  And the 2nd time they faced him he was crushed. Sban has his team built to CRUSH any fomr of O that he is faced with. Watson is good,will make some plays but ya have to do it for 60mins. Dabo and Co. will learn a lot form the experience but they will have to wait another 30 years to get back to a NC game as the ACC is a farce as is the Big `12/10/etc. SEC is DOMINATING all comp and even a bad A & M team with losing BOTH QBs b4 their bowl game were in it until the end. Tide D & O are WAAYY too much for any FBS team this season. You;ll learn when your denaro goes to the bookie and you are relegated to a bookie's gimp!! SEC!!!!!

I think Bookie's point was the type of QB that gives Saban schemes fits (Can't gameplan for someone who can improvise like the QB's below)...

Johhny Ballgame, Dobbs, Jefferson (Different game in Natty Title that year, which was second chance though), Jones and now Mr. Watson who just happens to be the best of the bunch at least in my opinion...

Should be a great game, but I will be on Tigers at anything close to a touchdown. 

Good luck and while I expected MSU to get beaten handily last night, I didn't believe Bama would do that to them

I'm a Clemson fan, and have no hate for Alabama. Alabama has been the best team for the last decade. Envy? Sure. 
I have faith in Clemson and Dabo. At this point in the season, it's irrelevant who struggled to beat who, who had the stronger conference, blah blah blah.
This game will come down to who does the best job of doing what they want to do. 
Alabama's defense is at it's best against traditional offenses with pocket passers. That's why their losses in the past have been against teams that can spread it and who have a mobile qb. 
Clemson will focus on Henry and challenge Coker to beat them.
Neither team will win if they turn the ball over. 
I think it will be a great game and I don't see a lopsided win by either team. 
I do believe the pressure is on Alabama. Clemson has surpassed all fan expectations already. That doesn't mean we are content just being here. I just think Saban is more likely to feel the pressure to win more than Dabo. 
I also think Alabama's domination of MSU could give some of their players a false sense of security. At least that's what I'm hoping for.

Alabama has had the same team every year  same QB who manages the game gets drafted in the 4th round and plays in the nfl 8years.Defence is there game because of superior athletes. IMO Clemson plays defense with great athletes also and Watson could be the difference . I think the game is closer then the 7pts that we see now

WHAT is wrong with (so) many of you guys?.....

WHY....can't you just calm down....stop looking for easy answers...realize the various factors that effect the outcome of a game?

IF....you are one of the (many) that claim (proudly).....
"past results mean NUTHIN' !!!'.........you're an IDIOT.........handicapping wise anyway.........
  *most things yes.....but the ability to rule those out > focus on THOSE that do matter....is what separates ....from  

 
SABAN.....has CLEARLY ..STRUGGLED trying to stop a DYNAMIC QB .....running an O that spreads you out....makes them tackle in space............PERIOD
  *THIS POINT....must be taken into consideration....when handicapping this game

OF COURSE....you then AX yourself....how has he addressed these issues?...eg. .more speed > more pressure > how is THIS D different from those.... etc..................
