Jalen needs to make at least three big throws down field deep to keep their D honest. Even if they are just 50/50 jump balls. Clemson is going to come out and load the box against us with 8-9 defenders. We need Ridley and Stewart to beat their man consistently because they'll see single coverage all night long.im thinking 27-10 Bama with both Jalen and Bo having lots of running success
That's a lot of room for Ridley and Stewart.Jalen needs to make at least three big throws down field deep to keep their D honest. Even if they are just 50/50 jump balls. Clemson is going to come out and load the box against us with 8-9 defenders. We need Ridley and Stewart to beat their man consistently because they'll see single coverage all night long.
I also think Clemson will overcompensate on OJ so they don't see a part two of what happened last year. So our WR's need to come up BIG.
ESPN StaffIt seems a lot of behind the scenes radio station pundits that aren't mainstream or mainstream media are predicting that Alabama rolls big tonight. ESPN pundits are all pretty much 90% behind Clemson and thinking Clemson wins.
Yep, it is what it is now.To be expected: they poormouth Alabama and sweettalk the opponent all week only to go with Alabama late when it doesn't even really matter anymore. The damage was done, our guys have heard the talk.
So after we torch them will Clemson whine that it was an ESPN conspiracy to talk them up all week and make them overconfident?

I think we all would.27-14 Bama but will take a 1 point win right now!!
I re-watched the Washington game. Take out the pre-snap penalties, phantom illegal receiver down field(completed first down pass on 3rd down and TE was pass blocking) and the delays looking at the side line and we have at least 2 more TDs. If Watson is on, we win/lose a close one, if he isn't it will be a ND type beatdown.I have not been impressed with our offense of late. Jalen is going to be great, but still struggles throwing the ball and has not gotten over his turnover tendencies. The offensive coordinator change has me uncomfortable. I am hoping the change is for the better, but I am not overly optimistic. Historically, in the final championship game, the team that is on a historic run of wins has come up short (Miami versus OSU and USC versus Texas come to mind). I am hopeful for a victory and pulling for the Tide. But if I had to make a pick, I would go with Clemson, 23-16.
