Taking off your orange colored glasses


Jan 7, 2019, 9:52 AM

Do you really think Clemson wins tonight? I would be ecstatic if they did but I'm fully expecting a 30 something to 20 something point loss (around 35-38 to 21-24). Main reason being while the offense has been really good at times, they've been inconsistent in the first quarter and never really showed any 'killer instinct, score at will' like the Deshaun Watson offense. And while Tua may have been inconsistent in his hardest games, he's still the best Alabama QB of the 4 teams Clemson has played and I expect several huge coverage busts because it always happens. My way of going about these is expect to lose but be really happy if they don't.

SECCCG should do it. I expect a 34-17ish victory and that hasn't changed in since the Cotton and Orange Bowls.

The talking heads on ESPiN are right. UGA and OSU would have been better competition than either of those teams that made the cut. I think UGA would have put Bama out if they played again.

Problem is UGA has had chances each of the last two years

to up end Bama and didn't. Lost both in a bit of embarrassing way really.

I wasn't saying they deserve the nod.


Jan 7, 2019, 10:32 AM

I just think UGA played better in the SECCCG than either of those teams.

2024 orange level memberbadge-donor-10yr.jpgringofhonor-clemsontiger1988-110.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

I agree that both UGA and Ohio St, probably had more

ammunition to go against Clemson and Alabama. I also like that we'll forever have darts to throw at both schools concerning this season.

badge-donor-05yr.jpgringofhonor-aero.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

I believe Alabama is rightfully favored.


Jan 7, 2019, 10:14 AM

I think the 1st quarter is key, Clemson needs to start quicker and slow Alabama's fast starts. Unlike 2 years ago we can't afford to get down early. Also key is special teams, we can't be giving up good field position on punts. Dexter Lawrence will also be missed, he's key to our run stop. We've also got to have some success running the ball and it will probably be Trevor Lawrence who needs to jump start this with his legs. I like the matchup, our defense can stop them and their defense has weaknesses. I also think we have better depth, not from a talent standpoint but an experience standpoint. But playing from behind negates that.

I'll probably go with a pencil so I can erase but I'm not spending any time looking for paper. I'll write on a box.

It's a coin flip imo. I have no idea. I could see just about anything happening. Nothing would shock me. They could blow us out. We could blow them out. It could be close. It could be kind of a moderate win or loss. Who knows..

I agree, maybe comes down to who prepares

more wrinkles or breaks more tendencies.

well if we weren't sandbagging vs the coots then


Jan 8, 2019, 1:13 AM

I would agree. But we WERE sandbagging, to both beat Bama and hand the playbook to Virginia.

Thanks for the "wife hitting on me" comment muscoot. Spurrier never made that mistake.
