If i were a Clemson homer this would be my prediction...

The Alabama defensive line is for real, but we will game plan to minimize this advantage by playing fast and getting the ball out quickly. A lot of the plays will be attacking the perimeter wings with either quick passes or runs where our big physical WRs can block. We will roll Watson away from the defensive pressure giving him a run throw option which he excels at. We will keep their LBs honest with quick read option plays, or Watson keepers where Gallman excels as a lead blocker. We will use Peak and Cain (is he back?) as deep downfield threats with Renfrow and Scott in the short pass game. The combinations of quick QB runs, Gallman runs outside, bubble screens, and quick slants, while picking our chances for deep balls will attack them in enough different ways to give them fits. And Watson is very capable of doing this. This is why our Offense will succeed despite their dominance on the Dline.

On D we have a great Dline our self. We also have very athletic and strong players in the back 7 willing to come up and fill gaps and help slow down the run game. Mackensi will hold down Ridley as a shutdown corner allowing the rest of the secondary to contain the rest of their WRs. Coker will not be able to have the success he had vs MSU despite our persistence to stop their running attack with Henry. We can do this!
