re: Predict Clemson @ Georgia

They also had an INT

that's why I said "Also had the pick"

I'm really sorry you continue to struggle with the notion that 4 out of 11 position players could dominate in disgusting fashion while a unit of 11 total players could still give up a lot of yards.

A defensive line that's slaughtering the OL damn sure doesn't let the backs get to the second level that much.

Clemson's DL made several standout plays against Georgia's OL. They did not "slaughter" them over the course of the whole game. Georgia wouldn't have been able to move the ball otherwise.

Do you deny that the St Louis Rams have a dominant defensive line yet their defense overall isn't elite?

very good, but not dominant. A dominant line dominates the game, by definition.

UGa seems like the safe pick:

- UGa is playing at home;
- Clemson has won twice in Athens during the last 99 years;
- Vegas has UGa favored by 7.5
- Clemson's offense lost not only significant production from last year's squad, but also significant leadership;
- UGa's new DC had good success shutting down Morris' offense in the FSU/Clemson game last year;
- Clemson will need great performance from Stoudt to win the game; UGa doesn't need their 5th year senior to win the game - simply hand the ball off and let Gurley and Co. wear down the Clemson defense;
- Clemson barely beat UGa last season at home. UGa is a better team this year than last. Clemson is not.
