re: Is Clemson a threat to Alabama?

That's the difference this year. Bama has perfected the speed substitution on D. Kirby Smart should get the Broyles award. I was at the LSU game and Bama had like 17 players on the field waiting for LSU to come out for every possession. I don't care how fast your offense goes, Bama is getting their packages in on time. Tim Williams and Ryan Anderson have been sensational on third downs. You still can't defend a perfect pass, but the QB has to do it with a killer coming at them with very bad intentions.
