Why Oklahoma Does Not Impress Me

Looking at that program's last 10 games against ranked opponents, I'm not convinced this is a loss for Clemson.
Losses to TCU, Baylor twice..
They have, however, beaten N.D., TTech, OkSt, and Mighty 'Bama, 'tho that was in a meaningless bowl game for 'Bama.
Now, it is apparent that by perusing this message board the upcoming bowl vs. Los Sooners is virtually meaningless.
However, I just want to remind Clemson Tiger Football Nation that this is a glorious opportunity to up-stage one of the more successful football programs with proud tradition.
& play Watson so Clemson can beat Oklahoma by three touchdowns!!
#ALLIN4CU!!

Sounds alot like Clemson's record....

Clemson is a mere 3 - 7 in its last 10 games against ranked opponents.
If you go back to the last sixteen games, Clemson's record improves to 7 - 9
Clemson is 8 - 12 over the last 20 games against ranked opponents.
This is an area where Dabo absolutely must show improvement.

They did give up a good bit of points, 25ppg. They rely heavily on there run game, very one dimensional. So in some way our offenses are a lot alike right now with the backup QB's not having much success. If our D locks down there run game, we should be able to win a low scoring battle. They did avg 38 ppg in a conf where D isn't a priority, but even Baylor held them to 14 pts.

What I noticed was the highest rated defense they faced this

year was Texas at #30.
They barely beat Texas, but the Ok offense only scored 2 TD's....they got other scores on pick 6, and kickoff returns, etc.
Their 2 TD's were one passing and one running by both of their hurt starters.
They rushed 30 times for 103 yards....and I thought that was a big tell.
They do have 3 O Linemen that will be in the NFL.... If our NFL defense gets the best of them, we will win this.
If our O can cut out half of the 3 and outs, I think we win by 10-13 .

Stoudt will be our QB. There's your rationale.

OK fans tend to feel the same way, they don't appear to have much faith in their team right now. Not to mention their star RB had a high ankle sprain against OK St, so he may not be 100% even if he plays.

Dabo tends to have success when given plenty of time to prepare for a game, so I'm thinking that it may come down to the 4th quarter like the Georgia game.
Fortunately I don't think the Sooners have been blessed with that caliber of a running game, so I'm thinking no blow-out.
However, Cole Stoudt's not really gonna get it done.
I say blitz the secondary on every down.
Cornerbacks on 1st & 3rd, safeties on 2nd & 4th.
Then switch the next drive then switch downs & so on.
Only way Clemson wins with Stoudt at the helm is with flawless special teams & a strong run defense with no penalties in teh pass defense.

& don't forget they were ranked as high as #15 before a brutal stretch of 5 ranked opponents in 6 weeks with the only unranked team being Texas.
Big 12 is weird; small but loaded.
