I'm not saying this isn't true but I heard this last year and they matched up pretty good with our D. And as good as we are games like Ole Miss still happen.

IF we run the ball. We all know Kiffin wasn't run heavy (besides QB runs) and we don't know Sarks style yet.

It comes down to Watson, again. Compare position groups

- Quarterback : Big Edge Clemson
- Running Back : Big Edge Alabama
- Receivers/Tight Ends : Push
- Offensive Line : Push
- Defensive Line : Edge Alabama
- Linebackers : Edge Alabama
- Secondary : Edge Alabama

We are better than them basically across the board and we matchup pretty well with them, regardless of what the idiots on TV say. They're greatest strength is pass defense and pass rush, while their biggest weakness is run defense against teams that run at them.

If Watson plays lights out like last year and our defense can't figure it out and we muddle around on offense, we will probably lose.

If Watson throws his usually interception or two, we establish a solid run game and we contain them to less than 6.00 YPP, we are going to win the football game.

There are more ways we can win than ways Clemson can win. Does that make it automatic that we win? Not at all. It's the national championship game, that is the way this generally works.

However, I feel good about it, and I feel really good about our mindset and prep level going in.
