Our D might break their QB but their DL would dominate us as of today.

We replace Womack and Cotton with Wills and Casher and they wouldn't.

Those two young bucks were whipping arse today.

Off topic, but that new Lincoln Continental looks badass.

Alabama would be doing the same thing to tOSU as the Sooners are right now.

It would look different, but they'd still be getting their teeth kicked in.

We beat a better QB and defense in Florida State by 17.

Clemson's DL > FSU . I will give the edge to FSU DBs though.

This was said about Watson each of the times we played him. Our defense only had 1 sack, 2 TFLs, and like 2 QB hurries today.

I honestly don't think they're as good as each of the last two years. Plus our OL, while cutting down on penalties, has had trouble in pass pro and been inconsistent in run blocking.

Clemson has a better OL than FSU. Plus 10 of those points came off a blocked punt and a fumble on a KR. Those aren't guaranteed in every game.

Not by much. Auburn held them to less than 300 total yards and a big chunk came on 2 passes to a RB making ridiculous over the shoulder catches.

Special teams are crucial to any game. If Gus had kicked a FG instead of going for it on 4th and 3 it may have changed the outcome of the game. That was poor coaching with Carlson being damn near automatic.

Neither is holding an offense to 240 total yards, but we did.

Yes they are.

You'll notice they were nowhere to be found during the game because their assholes were puckered tighter than a snare drum, but now they are everywhere.

They are the sole reason I wanted Auburn to win tonight.

Our defense now compared to when we play in the CFP is going to be night and day. Barring any more injuries this defense is going to end up being a good one.

You saw what Allen and bugGS did today. With Evans and Jennings coming back, I can go on.

Ohio St. might be the 3rd best team in the big 10

FSU OL gave up 36 sacks last year. I don't know if Clemson's OL is elite but they are definitely better. Last year AU held Clemson to 19 points but Clemson still turned out to have a great offense by season's end.

Dabo is a great coach and has the talent on both sides of the ball to go blow for blow with this team. It's dumb to think we'd beat them by 21 when we have issues our own.

No. It's not.

I watched them play tonight. We would kill them even with our issues.
