Philmustang, in reference to your statement " Clemson has not left the field as a losing team all year..." Neither had Texas, LSU, or Notre Dame when they carried their perfect records into the Natty. All 3 left soundly defeated. Bama, with Saban, 3-0 SU in Nattys, 3-0 ATS......Tide covers.....again.
Coddfish, yes, Bama is "big" and Clemson is fast, but don't think for a second that the Tide DEs and LBers are slow. On the contrary, they are quick as cats. The spread and Aubie gave Saban fits a couple of times, he recruited players specifically to match up with these offenses. Against pro style, they out physical teams.....Mich St did Bama a HUGE favor lining up and huddling, made it easy. Again, Bama wins and covers v Clemson. Bama -6.5, got it last week.....a gift.
