Pick the score: Alabama vs. Clemson

[bamafaninOhiO]

38-24 seems right. Hope we beat them worse than that, but I'd be fine being right.

It's very unlikely they will find the source if it was salt like they were suspecting then it's probably already been used. If it has something to do with a cream or something that was used for the injuries then it's already gone as well. There is like a 2% chance they will be back and that's pushing it. Hate it turned out that way for them because I don't believe they intentionally took anything but it is what it is. Don't know why they are allowing it to be produced at the rate that it is considering it's a banned substance. Athaletes shouldn't have to worry about contaminated products.

I have no idea how it got into their system, but it is their responsibility.

All season, I've underestimated our offense. They are unstoppable when they are locked in. While I think Clemson is the most complete team we have played, they are not as strong on offense as some, not as strong on defense as others. Easy pick here: Bama wins #18 - UA 42 CU 27.

If O line hangs in there
38 clem
35 bama
If O line buckles
35 bama
14 clem

Substitute the word “hold” for “hangs”. It’s the expected norm with every team Bama plays. If Clemson’s OL isn’t appreciably better than the Sooner’s OL, it won’t matter much. The game should come down to our ability to move the ball against the Clemson defense.

Good guys - 38

Clemson - 23

When I did the stats on the game, I was shocked at how equal everything was. The averages point to a one point game.

That is what I came up with. No way I would put money on the good guys in this one.

ok, that makes more sense.

when he was on the sideline my wife asked who he was and when i told her he was a player she said, "I thought he was one of the coaches, he looks like he's 35 years old."

There was a rumor that he voted in his first presidential election in middle school

So, I felt like Kyler Murray kept Oklahoma alive with his legs several times. I know Trevor Lawrence isn't exactly a statue sitting back there, but he is definitely not as fast as Kyler Murray. Kyler Murray is probably the second fastest QB we have ever faced behind Michael Vick. Travis Etienne is pretty scary, but we should be able to keep him in check for the most part. Clemson's defensive line is pretty scary, but we are heads and shoulders above Notre Dame in regards to offense. We'll get to Trevor several times and shake him up and Tua will burn the Clemson secondary a few times to make the difference.

Alabama 35 Clemson 27

TL is a much better passer and he’s definitely getting better with each game. Not sure if he’s faced a DL that will collapse the middle as quickly as Q and Raekwon do but he’s got a lot of help with Etienne back there. His OC will have to help him out IMO but he’s got the skill set to torch anyone. I’m thinking your score will be the likelihood and it could go either way.

The biggest thing that gives me confidence is that where they are the least strong on defense is the area Bama can exploit the best.

True but I know Clemson has the same protocols for this that Bama does. These guys are told CONSTANTLY and I mean that almost literally NOT to take ANYTHING EVER that isn’t from the team doctors, nutritionists, or trainers. Hell, ours have their own cafeteria dedicated just for them. There’s really nothing more the staffs can do save for incarceration of the players between Saturdays.

Dude... not just their own cafeteria, they have their own individual food/supplement dispensers on campus (not just clemson). Each athlete has their own specific diet in every way no matter where they are and what they do.

Exactly. I think every team faces this at some point. Some of the substances banned are questionable too as “performance enhancers”.

I think it should be a good game. I am hoping for a more comfortable margin, I just think this one will be tight.

Yep, averages are 30.8 -30.1 Bama.

I am a glass empty kind of guy when it comes to these games.

45 - 20 bama, welcome to the big show sunshine.

 

[rgw]

Alabama 34-20.


I think Alabama starts fast like they did against Oklahoma. Obviously won't be up 28-0 by the early second quarter but we could take a 17-3 type lead into the locker room. We'll take a run from Clemson but have a strong 4th quarter to finish them off in a surprising two score win. Lawrence will show signs of why he will be the top QB in the 2021 draft but also miss some plays to keep drives alive in the face of strong pressure all night.

 

[RTR91]

Yep, averages are 30.8 -30.1 Bama.

My averages come out to be 31.6-30.6 Bama.

 

[bamacpa]

Bama 35-31. Waddle is the difference.

 

[Saban4Ever]

I think I predicted 34-31 Bama already... but wouldn’t it be neat to see Tua throw the winning touchdown pass to Jalen? What a great story that would be.
