Athlon Sports prediction on Clemson-OU

Read Update »

I don't see how we can be predicted to win...


Dec 28, 2014, 9:59 AM

with Stoudt at QB. However I think it's a low scoring game

I agree. I think it will be more like a 17-10 type of game, in my opinion.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

OU 2 CU 0. Is that low enough?***

I will take our Tigers & 10 points all day

Dec 28, 2014, 10:22 AM

the under on OU scoring 27 points.

I just don't see it happening with our D. They may win, but it will be a low scoring game.

Did you see the GT game?

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

GT had like 13 offensive points***


Dec 29, 2014, 11:15 AM



flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Gotta be careful about that though because, as we've seen


Dec 28, 2014, 11:18 AM [ in reply to And I think I'll take ]

before, the offense can make things significantly more difficult for the defense when they really struggle and make mistakes. We gave up a lot more points against Wake and GT than we should have due to bad turnovers and the inability to move the ball and stay on the field.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

They may be right.


Dec 28, 2014, 10:23 AM

They probably aren't though.

I might be crazy - but it just may be a lunatic you're ...

Motivation? Again? WTH is it that the talking heads raise this question with all our bowl games and the opponents we play?Could it be that they put this out there so that they have something to fall back on just in case we actualy win the game?

I submit that we should the team that they are questioning OUR motivation! Geeeze.....

Re: FB Update: Athlon Sports prediction on Clemson-OU


Dec 28, 2014, 10:35 AM

Just as stingy?
We give up 122 less yards and they are just as good? NOT!!!

Re: FB Update: Athlon Sports prediction on Clemson-OU


Dec 28, 2014, 10:40 AM

It all comes down to turnovers. We create some, we win, we throw 3 picks and lose a fumble. we lose.

I agree. If stout and company take our D out of the equation. We don't have a chance. But if stout moves the ball. Protects the ball and give the D time to rest, they can stop anyone. We need stouts best game. With Watson , we blow them out . We need a game from stout that we haven't seen from him. We need for him to just play smart. Protect the ball! And we can win.

military_donation.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Our D will do enough for the win.... but


Dec 28, 2014, 10:53 AM

our offense will not

20 - 16 Sooners

2024 orange level memberbadge-donor-15yr.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

That's the safe bet ... the smart bet ... but,


Dec 28, 2014, 10:54 AM

not a particularly adventurous prediction.

I say our defense stops the Sooners, gives us good field position and contributes a score ... Clemson 21-17 ... :)

badge-donor-15yr.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

We have to play clean football though and be somewhat


Dec 28, 2014, 11:19 AM

efficient on offense or else we will give THEM great field position due to our inability to move the ball and flip the field.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Tigers need big "scoring" plays on O and ST - momentum


Dec 28, 2014, 11:23 AM [ in reply to That's the safe bet ... the smart bet ... but, ]

changers.

I do not see us methodically martching the ball down the field.

badge-donor-05yr.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

they need to get behind cole!


Dec 28, 2014, 11:06 AM

I can't believe they would write that.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

How is OU's defense just as stingy as Clemson's when......


Dec 28, 2014, 11:23 AM

.....OU gives up 120+ more yards per game than Clemson? Don't think math is Athlon's forte....

1=54. Now that's some SEC quality math.

Because they face better offenses than we do. Just a fact.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

But not that much better. Big 12 offenses are way down


Dec 29, 2014, 1:05 AM

with Texas, Texas Tech, and Oklahoma State all underperforming badly. Compare TCU, Baylor, and K State to Georgia, FSU, and Georgia Tech, and I don't see much difference.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

They do? I thought they didn't play D in the Big 12***

Always fun to look back at "Prediction" threads afterwards.
