re: Help Build My Confidence

Pretty much that.

Clemson is inconsistent but they have really started to play better down the stretch. Their A game would require our A game to get a victory.

They struggled with Louisville, FSU, and Troy and lost to Pitt. Athlete for athlete they are as good as anyone we'll see this year though. Watson is obviously the X factor for them.

I'm in the same boat as OP. I think we'll win but for the first time all season a loss doesn't seem unfathomable. That's just the way it is. Clemson has great players at the spots that you need them to exploit Alabama. They are essentially a souped up version of early season Ole Miss. Great receivers, great tight end, athletic defense, athletic QB, but Clemson actually has a good tailback
