They don't have a pass rush.

I'm fine and dandy with anyone who picks Clemson to win because of our secondary and their home field advantage/potent offense.

But I'll be damned if I'm going to just sit here and read about how they are going to repeat the Carolina results on UGA. The only ones capable of doing that is Carolina.

If Clemson had Quarles, Clowney, and Sutton, then they could talk about getting a pass rush on Murray, or closing up holes for Gurley.

frick them and any other fricking fool who thinks Clemson is going to do anything but get mouthfricked on defense, all god damn night long.

It flipped, now UGA is giving 1&1/2 to 2 points. They're just trying to drive up action now. They got a lot when they had clemon winning and people betting against that happening, so now they are trying to hedge.

It's a system for betting houses or bookies to draw up interest and bets on games. We all know that if Alabama play New Mexico Polytechnic State University, bama would win. However, a bookmaker will give himself or the house an opportunity to make money by setting a line (saying that bama is going to win that game by 21.) It would look like Bama (-21) vs NMSPU (+21).

The house or bookmaker cover the losses to people that bet, but they are also making money b/c they have a charge or fee to make the bet in the firstplace. When you bet online you often have to pay $110 to have a chance at winning $100 if you picked your team and spread correctly. That $10 goes to the house/bookie and that's how they make money.

Bookies and Houses take a lot of bets on many games and they try to make money on the charges/fees and hopefully with big upsets that people bet on
Like if Ceasars was saying USC (-35) vs UNC (+35) and everybody thought there was no chance of USC beating UNC by 5 TD's, so $1 million was bet against USC covering the spread and $1000 was bet for them to cover it, then USC actually beat UNC by 50 points... The bookie/house would use those winning to cover other losses on other games and keep whatever's left for profit.

You can still find bets online and probably through bookies in your community that are straight up, meaning no point spreads, but you might have to wager more money to win a smaller percentage of what you were wagering, unless the teams are pretty evenly matched.

Let me get this straight, not only is Clemson Bama with Oregon's offense, but they have SCU's 2012 Defensive line??!!?? Crap, we don't stand a chance

Someone tell the inbreds having the #1 overall pick in next years draft on your D line tends to make said D line look pretty good. I hope they do copy it.

Having watched a lot of college football over the years I am afraid that our offense may prove less efficient than we would like and our defense may prove to be better than expected. I hope I am wrong about the offense but I have seen us go 3 and out so often over the years and not be able t pound the ball late in the game that I am doubtful. I hope I am right about the defense and there is some practical evidence that this defense, not loaded with NFL talent right now may be better than we were last year. That's my take 2 weeks out....

Sounds like its shifting over to where more people are putting money on UGA...which is irrelevant in the grand scheme of things.

I sort of agree. Seems likely since conventional wisdom would point in the other direction.

@ESPN_ACC: Interesting note from ACC office: Over past 2yrs, ranked SEC teams have lost only 7 times, but Clemson has 3 of those wins.

Interesting stats on the radio this afternoon about Gurley.


Gurley averaged 15.8 carries a game and finished with almost 1400 yards.

He averaged 6.8 yards per carry on first down.

2nd and 3 for Murray, on average, when Gurley took the ball on 1st down.

fricking deadly.

Gurley will have a 100 yard game against Clemson. He'll probably do it in under 20 carries.

Keith Marshall/JJ Green/Brendan Douglas/Quavon Hicks will probably combine for another 20 carries and no less than 70 yards.



Murray only needs 230 yards to make this a 400 yard game for Clemson to overcome. He averaged 278 in all 14 games in 2012. He had over 70% completion rate in 7 games. He had over 300 yards in 5 games. He threw for 250+ in nine games.

Clemson's defense isn't physically able or talented enough to even pretend they can slow down the offense. There is no scheme or trick to stop it.
