2015 Bama. That team controlled the clock better. I actually think 2015 Clemson was better than this year's Clemson team

Yeah I like Coker and Henry in the backfield better than Hurts. Much better downfield passing from the 2015 team as well.

2016 Clemson had Carnes and Mike Williams on the field, but I agree 2015 Clemson was slightly better.

Coker would handle the pressure Clemson brought (2016 Clemson) a lot better than Hurts.

2016 Bama D probably matched up better against Clemson, but the 2015 Bama offense is the difference here.

2016 Bama had a slightly better defense than 2015, but 2015 had a much better offense, particularly at controlling the ball which is vital against a great offense like Clemson.

I'd rate the teams
2015 Bama
2015 Clemson
2016 Clemson
2016 Bama

It took everything we had to beat Clemson in 2015. They can even make the case they should've won. This year if we'd had any semblance of a passing attack we win easily.

Alabama just abused Clemson in the special teams game though in 2015. I mean baaaaaaadddddd.

I'm not saying this year's Clemson would've beaten last year's Bama, but this year's Clemson was absolutely better than last year's version. We were much more potent on offense this year and we had a better defense this year too.

Guys let's not be homers and change the narrative that 2015 Clemson was better than 2016 Clemson just cause Bama lost this past year.

2016 Clemson was better because of Caine and Williams on the outside, the D may have seen a drop off without Lawson and Alexander but the offense more than made up for it. That being said, I do like 2015 Bama against 2016 Clemson for the reasons already stated. Coker was a legit downfield passing threat and Henry could eat clock. Which 2016 Bama could do neither in this years matchup.
