I am seriously wondering can Clemson block Alabama

I'm expecting Watson to frequently roll out with an option to run, pitch the ball to a trailing RB or pass after the LB's and/or secondary come up to stop the run. When this strategy is executed well out on the edge, it is darn near impossible to stop both the run and the pass with a smart QB making optimal choices. It effectively concentrates the offense at the point of attack and negates a powerful front 7. It's why the better/smarter offensive teams will continue recruit athletic/duel-threat QB's; it adds a completely new dimension to your offense.

This type of offense largely explains why Tennessee went from a crappy offensive team to one of the best as Dobbs developed as a duel-threat QB. I fully expect Bama to struggle vs Clemson just as they did against the Vols.
