How I feel about this year's natty vs last year's

Last year I was hoping we could keep it respectable and we MIGHT have a chance to win it.
This year I have a whole new mindset.
This year we have Cain, Williams, 2 healthy DE's (Shaq was hurt last year). We missed Mackenzie due to injury last year. Ben had a banged up shoulder. This year We have more depth on both sides of the ball. Our O is just as good as last year. Our D is better. I say we leave Tampa with the mini-oculus trophy IF we don't lose the turnover battle.

Kinda had forgotten about the injuries to Shaq, Boulware and Mack. Great points about having a healthy defense with plenty of depth.

I agree on all counts. The TO battle is the huge "Elephant in the Room". Do not have any TO's and give up no stupid stuff on Special Teams, and we win this game. Mess up in any phase, and AL is too good to get a pass on. We have improved in all phases of the game since the Pitt game, though, and we are clicking on all cylinders. AL didn't look as good to me last game, and hopefully the turmoil will be afactor, too. Go Tigers!

DW4 will throw a pick. Maybe 2. But yall are hyping bama up too much. Clemson doesnt have to play a perfect game to win.

I honestly think clemson gave alabama the championship, ifi told you, clemson scores 40 points against bama, 100% percent of you would have said clemson won. Injuries, onside kick, kick off touchdown. Oj howard had 200 yards in the game, did you know he played 4 years and more than 50 games and aside from the clemson game, he never ever reached 100 yards. Seems like the defense just lost it because it makes no sense he was getting loose.

I agree with you. Last year I felt we could win but didn't feel invincible like I do now.

finally realized we had a chance. Wish I hadn't let that wall down!
This year, I am with you. I'm not waiting to see, I decided to believe we will win and will accept the joy or pain that comes with it.
I believe this is our year.
TU and GO TIGERS !!!!

Special teams is my one concern. I am just not sure our kickoff team is as good as i would like for it be at this time.
