Thoughts from Tampa: Tigers are no longer just happy to be here When Clemson’s team arrived on the tarmac in Fort Lauderdale last season, a week before the Orange Bowl against Oklahoma, anything concerning the College Football Playoff was brand new and a little bit clunky.This year, it's all business.

My prediction & what I see happening

Jan 7, 2017, 9:03 AM

Clemson vs Alabama: When the match up was first decided, I battled all week on how I thought this
game would be decided. Who would win what battles and what areas would be won by which teams. So
lets first do the position battles and see which teams I think has the edge.

I think Bama holds the edge at- Secondary, Linebacker, and Running back
I think Clemson holds the edge at- Wide out, O-line, and QB.

With a push (even) at D-line
(TE)

So, what's going happen?
While last year was a shoot out, most people see this year's game as more of a defensive affair.
And for the most part, I do to. Points are going be at a premium, and I can't see either defense
giving up much.
The crowd is going be electric, and the Tigers and Tide are ready to go! Tigers are fired up &
take their opening possession down the field for the early 7-0 lead. But after that, both defenses
settled down and don't give up a whole lot scoring wise. The person for Clemson that I think most
people are over looking around the fan base and media, is place kicker "GREG HUGEL". That's right!
And I wouldn't be surprised if he makes a push for MVP of the game with points so hard to come by.

Here's the ending...
with 1:45 left to play, Bama has the ball but is forced to punt while holding a 24 to 23 lead over
the Tigers. Clemson has the ball around their own 20 yd line only needing a FG to win the game.
The Drama is set!
Bama's defense is up the task but so is Clemson's offense.
Clemson converts a couple short 1st downs, but then finds themself in a 3rd and long needing a huge
play and catch from big time wide out, MIKE WILLIAMS!
A couple plays later, Clemson is down to the Bama 27 yard line with 2 seconds left and call their
final time out. And out comes kicker Greg Hugel to attempt his 4th field goal of the day from 45
yards out. Snap is good, kick is good! And Clemson wins the game on the leg of Greg Hugel. And the
Tigers leave Tampa with a 26 to 24 win and their 2nd nation championship in football

So, that's how I see it happening.

Blowout Tigers. 42-14. I smell it coming. I hope I don't jinx it, but I see it in the Tigers eyes and I hear it in the comments from that Alabama DB. A shutout by the Tigers is also possible. The 3 C's - Clellin, Carlos and Christian - are gonna have big days with multiple sacks and Jadar and Tank both get picks. Ben will be a run stopper and will get 10+ tackles. Hunter is gonna reacquaint himself with the Bama DBs and Mike and Deion have things to prove. Tay has a TD too. Wayne won't get his 100, but he will score a couple of TDs. Jordan will block like he did against OSU and get a couple of catches too. And Deshaun? Well, he has something to prove again and will get 400+ again. I know that sounds too perfect to be true. But that's my prediction. Just remember the line about perfection from Remember the Titans Anybody else with me?
