I know we're celebrating Alabama getting in, but when I watched Clemson throughout the year, I think they were the best team in the America.

We've got the rematch now. What will Alabama have to do to take back its throne?

Find a passing game and realize it has a great running game. Also get healthy on defense.

We need to pound the ball, and use the short passing game.

I think we will be able to stop them a good bit on defense.


Our offense did well against them last year when we werent trying to pass the ball every other play.

Getting healthy on defense would be the first order of business.

Don't bring a one dimensional offense and feature our 5 star running backs instead of Hurts on the ground. We can do it. frick Clemson.

Second half of the MSU game is our blueprint. We're deadly going 2-backs, RPO, with Hurts on the move. DaBoll just has to commit to it for an entire game.

Eta - and as was said above IN THE NAME OF ALL THAT IS GOOD IN THE WORLD COVER THE WHITE GUY!

Control the clock by using our stable of running backs.

Hopefully the injuries alone will fix the defense, but they won't be able to stop Clemson from scoring. Just need to do enough to give us a chance. Offensively, we need to learn we're a running team. When we do pass, stick with short passes. Hurts can't go through his progressions, but that doesn't mean we can't have designed routes that attack all parts of the field. Try to get their defense running side-to-side early so that they're too worn down to stop the rush later on. The offensive line is a major concern, especially against an elite defense like theirs. Hurts needs to have a 5 second maximum for releasing the ball on pass plays. If it's not there, take off and run with it. And before they're worn down by the rush, we should probably stick to perimeter/off-tackle rushing to keep their defensive line as out of the game as possible. Try to actually win the time of possession for a change.

It’s going to take a gargantuan effort from our O line if we’re gonna win. The Clemson DL is better than the Auburn DL imo. Hurts will be running for his life every passing play

Saban can quit with his marshmallow talk. It's time to light the fire.


The team thought that they could march into JHS and just win on talent alone.

Run the ball, play to jh's strengths and play pissed off on both lines of scrimmage. We can do this.

Yep. Prep both quarterbacks - meaning legitimate preparation for Tua - so that if the second half rolls around and Bama again has a quarterback that refuses to let the ball go, Bama can try Tua and at least give the team a chance by going down swinging.

The problem is going to be neutralizing their pass rush. If we stick Tua in there just to see what he can do in the pocket, we will get destroyed IMO.
