Not sure exactly how you would gage that. Rushing Yards? Sacks allowed? Tackles for loss given up?

Since W’s and L’s are based on scoring, I like Scoring Defense & Scoring Offense stats. The other question would be, who are you generating those stats against? For example, Marshall I think sits #2 in scoring defense. Anybody think Marshall plays the same kind of competition as Clemson?

Amongst the top 4 CFP contenders it goes like this

Scoring Defense
ND
Clemson
Bama
Bucknuts

Scoring Offense
Bama
Bucknuts
Clemson
ND

It’s important to remember (cuz you won’t hear it on TV). Bucknuts have played nothing but trash with the exception of Indiana.

The other big question is simple and complicated all at the same time. “WHO GETS BETTER?” I like Clemson & Bama in that category.

The Tide Oline must be outstanding. Every time I see Jones drop back to pass he has time to do about 5-6 checks and then always hits someone who is wide open. If he wins the Heistman he should publicly thank the guys who protect him and give him gobs of time. Of course, they also run block extremely well. They will be tough to beat in the post-season.

Clemson's Oline does an excellent job of pass blocking and actually are not bad at run blocking....when someone other than TE runs the ball. Last night was a case in point. Lynn J., TL, Melusi, and Rencher all had nice holes to run through. Poor Travis seems to run into the about 5 or 6 guys every time. I'm guessing the other teams are so committed to stopping number 9, or at least slowing him down. They have succeeded in this, but have failed miserably in stopping the rest of our team. TL, Amari, Cornell have all had big years. And Travis has been excellent in catching and running. Tight ends are contributing too.

The other teams? The truculent leprechauns have an excellent Oline. And I'm guessing the Bucknuts do too. Just haven't seen enough of them.
