Clemson has been recruiting like gang busters for several years now. They have as much nfl talent as bama. If Watson doesn't wear down before the bama D clemson is gonna win this one easy.

Granted it was September, but Louisville's defense played Clemson better than Alabama has so far.
Yeah, but......I saw that game, and the Clemson/ND game, and this Clemson team in no way resembles it's earlier self.

At this point, I'd be a little surprised with a Bama win.

Alabama can't get stops on 3rd down...just like the OSU game last year. This has to be demoralizing for the Bama D...and team overall.. As I type this they FINALLY sack Watson.

Thankful I can just enjoy this great game.

If I really cared who won, let alone was a fan of one of these teams ...

I tend to agree. Alabama had their shot up 21-17 to drive down and make it an 11 point game. They went 3 and out...and then Clemson retakes the lead with ease. Coker has not been terrible, but like Sims last year, you just have no confidence in the Alabama passing game. Henry has ran it well, but he is not going to be able to win this for them at this point IMO.

Clemson is probably going to win this as they have the better QB. That is really what it comes down to tonight.

I don't care who wins this game. I realize ul fans will flap their gums if clemson wins but until someone at ul gets fired for providing hookers to recruits or embezzlement or misappropriation of funds... It doesnt matter.

Just imagine how good Alabama could be with a decent QB. Coker makes Towels look like a quick decision maker. And isn't very accurate either.

I said yesterday clemson will win because of Watson. Running QBs always give saban trouble. So far I'm not surprised at the score.

I didn't realize how many freshmen Bama plays in the secondary either. Those are going to be some really good players down the road. And the freshman running back for Clemson is going to be really good for them the next couple of years. He isn't running too well tonight but has had some nice blocks and a nice catch or two.

An obvious pass interference as well. Commentator said he turned his head. That doesn't matter when you have a hand full of jersey.

It's amazing to me how Clemson's strength and team speed have given Bama all they want on both sides of the ball.

Not many teams can do that to the Tide.

TD bama, Howard is completely wide open again. You would think Clemson would find that guy.
