keep in mind Alabama hasn't lost a game by less than 14 points since 2007..and have lost just 10 since 2010, so boat race may be a relative term in this situation..All that aside, what makes you think that a team you just lost to last game, who is returning quite a lot and has the best receiving core in the nation, would lose to y'all by a large margin. Sure, y'all have Watson and Bama doesn't know who their QB is, but Jake friggin Coker won a NC so that shouldn't be a problem this year either. Clemson does return a bunch on offense and will have the most explosive offense in the country, but y'all still have a weak special teams and secondary, not to mention a very young defense. I think it would be a close game, but I just could never envision any scenario where Clemson beats Alabama by more than 3-7 points as long as Saban is in Tuscaloosa

very debatable, it's a tossup between Alabama and Clemson as to who has the best WR corp. Several publications have given Bama the nod..Clemson's wideouts are very good and you know more about them than I do, but Calvin Ridley, Ardarius Stewart, Robert Foster, Gehrig Dieter, Cam Sims and OJ Howard (you remember him) at TE is absolutely filthy, almost unfair.

Oj Howard had a big game because of Alexander being hurt not because he some freak of a tight end.

It's funny you say that because dude is by definition a freak athlete..only had average stats because Bama is so good they didn't even need him much of the time to win..our coaching staff unleashed him in the perfect way to surprise y'all and it worked. Watch the film, Lane ran plays that would confuse your secondary and it exploited them like he does. Alexander out was a big blow, but injuries are part of the game

except for Ridley and he was pretty quiet in the NCG...however our walk-on freshman WR did work against Fitzpatrick the 5* DB
Mayo had a great game...cant really say anything about that, but he was a nobody before that game and Saban implemented him in the game plan bc he is an excellent coach and recognized our weakness.
So I would say the best WR corp in the nation stays with us, but thanks for trying.

I've talked with a high school coach - very well known, actually - who went to Alabama and then Clemson on the same trip, and he watched both teams.
He says Alabama's got a (slight) edge at OT because Cam Robinson is unreal, easily a Top-5 pick, but otherwise it's a push on the OL. He gave them a slight edge on DE because of numbers, us an edge at DT for the same reason...and he said, the thing that shocked him was how much Alabama looked like a JV squad at QB and WR compared to Clemson. Calvin Ridley, he said, was the only one who would crack Clemson's 2-deep.
He did mention that Burton Burns has the best job in the country, though. Alabama's RB's are unreal, as usual. Clemson's are good...Alabama's are on a different planet from anybody else's.

I agree with you if we beat alabama this year it will be a close game. I do think our Defense will be better than most people think they will be. I also think that if Alexander had not got hurt last year that game would have been different but at this point who cares because the bottom line is we loss. The thing is with a high powered offense if the offense on the other team makes a few mistakes there is always a good chance that our O will start pulling away from another team. I just hope we get another chance at a natty this year whether it is against bama or new mexico state.

you have a pretty reasonable argument saying that if Alexander were in the game, y'all may not have given up so many busted coverages..just the way the game is sometimes though i guess. That's true, you're offense is so high powered that it can manage winning some shootouts even if the secondary/special teams doesn't play particularly well. You'll prob make it back to the playoff but we'll see what happens at Doak

What happened to Beer Bryant; cfbfan take the baton?

I actually thought Beer Bryant was alright. While
I disagreed with a lot of what he said, he tried to
be civil unlike the arrogant smug redneck Bama fans
on some of the Youtube videos. I think we may have
upset him after the Cam Robinson/Laurence Jones ordeal.

who frequented the board in the spring and early
summer, but haven't seen him lately. It's good
to get an outsider's perspective and have some fun
because football is basically entertainment. You're
objective so far, as long as you don't turn into
one of these

ah my mistake, I do remember seeing that guy's account when I frequented Tnet back in January. It's not always easy being associated with the Bama fan base due to its stigma, albeit I'm #### proud to roll with the tide. And that's why I come here, for the outsider's perspective. But also because I love the sport in general and sense a lot of excitement and energy from y'all's fan base. I can tell Clemson fans are genuine and in some ways similar to us Bama fans believe it or not

and wrong, right. I just couldn't give him a pass on defending Saban's handling of players lawlessness. Didn't need him, didn't want him, glad he's history. Probably has a scok.

Bama potentially could be starting a true freshman by the name of Jalen Hurts. He shares some of the qualities that make Watson so great. He plays with poise and shows natural leadership. He's a coaches son with a big arm who is a true dual threat. He doesn't have the accuracy that Watson has, but he has the escapability and the ability make plays with his legs.
Most of the Bama faithful expect him to eventually win the job because of his big play potential.
