Pick the score: Alabama vs. Clemson NCG

[jcabama]

I'm thinking a TD and three FGs for the Tiggers and two FGs and four TDs for us'n. If my Alabama public school math is right then I think that would mean we win 34-16.RTR!

As it gets closer and closer, I'm getting MORE and MORE concerned with those Clemson Tigers. That QB gives me nightmares just thinking about what he can POSSIBLY do to our awesome Defense. They are probably going to spread us out more than anyone that we've played this year. I sure hope he spends a lot of time on his backside looking up at the stars, oh this is played indoors, so I mean the ceiling!

That MSU QB couldn't move around. That Clemson QB is like a jack rabbit. He moves quickly: here, there and everywhere else and may run or throw. That can cause Bama DB's to come up to get him and leave their man UNCOVERED. I think, he's much better than Manziel!

We may have to score 50+ to win!

Somebody, please make me feel better about this game.

Those TideFans picking Bama by a bunch must NOT be having any nightmares, yet!

Come on brother, get it together. Everything gonna be all right and we gonna get #16. I guarantee it ;-)

That's been the odd thing about this whole year. We haven't had to play perfect to win.

One of the benefits of playing in the ACC.

Ok, picking the score.

I expect both teams to play their best game. Both are motivated. Clempson has a very good D. Watson is a dynamic QB. Their defensive backs are very good. They have decent wide receivers. So.... my guess is ....

Good guys: 38
Clempson: 13

It'll be a GREAT game!!!

Congrats on a great 14-1 season, Tigers! Best wishes going forward! Roll Tide, y'all!!!

Alabama wants this one badly. Clemson is a really good team and could make this much closer and if Bama is not focused they could win the game.

Everything I am hearing is that the Tide IS STILL focused. While this could be a nail-biter I believe Alabama will run Henry left, right, and up the middle and sprinkle in the pass here and there. I expect Clemson to blitz and Alabama to counter with screens and misdirection when they do. And when Clemson begins to hesitate Bama will run Henry straight over them.

Clemson may score more. Bama may score less. I still think Bama wins unless turnovers become a major problem. I don't foresee that.

It's been 3 long years and I'm getting tired of this name. I need a new one. I plan to petition for it late Monday night.

Bama wins 38-10... Clemson scores a first half FG and a late TD.

The problem with the analysis that the dual threat QB is our kryptonite, is that losses to such teams have always come with something else. Almost always that something else was multiple TOs or special teams gaffes. If I'm concerned with anything, or afraid as some like to put it, it is that unknown. It's not Watson or Clemson's offense.

If we take care of the ball and don't screw it up on special teams, it is going to be very difficult for Clemson to sustain drives on this defense and the big play isn't going to happen over and over either. HUNH or not. Dual threat QB or not. That's the key and frankly it has always been the key to beating Alabama, despite Danielson's "hot QB" theory.

I'll be a Clempson fan on that day ;-)

Yeah it takes a lot more than just a hot QB. It takes something earth shakable.

We hear about the Clemson being so high powered and full of big plays, yet they have 6 TDs on the season that went for 50+ yards. Alabama, OTOH, has 7 of those plays. The Alabama defense and special teams has 6, giving Alabama 13 as a team.

Bama 38 -- Clemson 24. Only if Deshaun plays the whole game.

Frankly, it is what defines the Nick Saban system, and so many people fail to grasp it. Explosive plays. How many times has he mentioned it since day 1 here? Explosive plays. Yet we are the boring team.

How many "5 reasons" articles have you seen this week? It's nauseating, like "charm offensive" from a few years back, everyone has to say or do. Here is one reason to disregard them.

To be fair, they did do a 'Why Alabama will win the Cotton Bowl.' I see where you are coming from though.
