I don't think it will be close. I do respect what Clemson has done this year, but they are in no way prepared for the environment they'll face next week. They think they are, and they will talk a good game, but that's part of their problem. What I saw against Oklahoma was an arrogant team that likes to taunt the opponent and showboat for themselves. That crap won't work against Alabama. I think some of them will spout of something this week, could even be their HC, and it will be plastered everywhere in Alabama's weight rooms. We will be the favorite, and Clemson gets to play the underdog role, but we will actually be the ones entering the stadium feeling disrespected. Sick of hearing the media drone on and on about our inability to deal with "dual-threat" QBs, our defense will shut down Clemson's offense and render Watson completely ineffective. Henry shows back up in a big way and I think we actually go back to the ground and pound a little bit in this game.
41-7. I hope we shut them out, but I think they get a cheap score somewhere. Maybe a return. Maybe one misread on D. But we will methodically beat their brains in with Henry and Coker completes a couple of long passes. Roll Tide.
