Bama in recent years have had issues with mobile QB's and so I will say it will take a quarter for them to adjust to watson. Outside of him though, I look for Bama to force clemson to throw to beat them. Cyrus Jones is an animal and I think he has a huge game against the tiglets. watson gets a few good plays in but I think Bama grinds them to the win.

Well if Alabama hasn't faced good offenses this year, then Clemson surely hasnt.
From pure offensive ranks Alabama faced on average a team ranked #54. Clemson? #56. When you see that Alabama allows about a touchdown less than Clemson despite facing better average offenses, you can see why people have much more faith in Alabama stopping Clemson than Clemson stopping Alabama.
The biggest mismatches for this game are Clemson doesn't have that #1 wide receiver capable of getting balls no matter what, and Clemson ranks in the 100s in special team play. Their punting is awful and sets up short fields often. Something Alabama thrives on is controlling field poaition. I don't trust Clemson's defense to stop Alabama in that scenario.
