Watson, Hopkins predictions for Clemson-ND


Tony Crumpton Tony Crumpton  ·  Assoc. Editor ·  

Houston Texans duo Deshaun Watson and DeAndre Hopkins are in the middle of a very successful NFL season but also will be cheering hard for Clemson's success in the Goodyear Cotton Bowl on Saturday.

"I think Notre Dame can do some things against us, but I think overall we're a better team," Hopkins said via ESPN. "I think we kind of outmatch those guys, especially in the secondary. From a wide receiver group, we have the best wide receivers in college. We have one of the best quarterbacks, got one of the best running backs, one of the best D-lines. [The Tigers are] going to be hard to beat."

Watson also picked the Tigers to get the win against the Fightin' Irish.

"Oh, for sure -- get that dub, go on to the natty," Watson said. "Yeah, we're going to handle business, for sure."
