Do it.

Would 31 pts win it?

Yes

How will Bama possible get 31?

The same way they've scored more than that in almost every game this year.

Do you really see us moving the ball consistently against this Clemson team? Our QB can't throw the football very well or at least consistently. I think he will improve by next year but unfortunately this defense won't be there.

I hope y'all are right. I'll be watching and cheering as hard as ever but man our offense has just been abysmal.

Watson is throwing on average more than 1 INT/game...That equates to six+ versus this defense.

Likely the same way they've done it in all but three of their fourteen games thus far this season.

31 should do it unless we turn the ball over multiple times on our end.

We've moved the ball on good defenses all year. We've scored 24+ points in every game sans LSU this year.

Clemson has a good but not elite defense. Check their game log.

It is also interesting that before this game Washington was 2nd in the country in PPG with 44.8. Just held them to 7. We also held the number one scoring team, Western Kentucky which is at 45.5 to 10. Obviously it is Western Kentucky, but still. Our D can shut down offenses. We may have fixed the problems that were present in the Ole Miss game and our adjustments have been on point from the first drive on outside of every game besides that one.

Clemson is 13th in the country right now. We have scored one point less than Clemson this year total.

It really depends what kind of game is happening. If we are going to go into a shootout like we did last year vs. Clemson, we may lose. But if we play our game and rely heavily on our D, I don't believe we lose.

I honestly believe that we can shut them down. Look, Clemson at it's peak performance is one helluva football team. But they haven't come close to playing that way all season, and they certainly have not done it two games in a row.

Look at some of these offensive outputs

Auburn - 399 yards, 5.12 YPP, 19 points
Troy - 414 yards, 4.87 YPP, 30 points
NC State - 495 yards, 5.44 YPP, 17 points regulation

Hell, even against Ohio State they only had 5.53 YPP. They just got to run 85 frickin plays because Ohio State's offense looked like Shula/Spencer Pennington era.

Now, they've been pretty good on offense lately, but they still average around 6 YPP and 482 YPG vs winning P5 teams. We are not an average P5 defense.
