To be fair, Alabama has faced much better defenses than Clemson across the board. The only one that gave Clemson trouble was FSU, and surprise, they have an actual defense.

In terms of Sacks Clemson has faced these teams with their sack ranking and sacks given up during that game:

Oklahoma- #8 nationally, 2 sacks given up
North Carolina- #81 nationally, 0 sacks given up
South Carolina- #99 nationally, 0 sacks given up
Wake Forest- #99 nationally, 0 sacks given up
Syracuse- #81 nationally, 0 sacks given up
Florida State- #31 nationally, 2 sacks given up
North Carolina State- #31 nationally, 2 sacks given up
Miami- #64 nationally, 0 sacks given up
Boston College- #24 nationally, 3 sacks given up
Georgia Tech- #120 nationally, 1 sack given up
Notre Dame- #78 nationally, 0 sacks given up
Louisville- #9 nationally, 2 sack given up
App St.- #19 nationally, 3 sacks given up
Wofford- No data, 1 sack given up (backups in)

So really, the teams that are horrible at sacking, were horrible at sacking vs. Clemson. However, if the team is in the top 30 in sacks, they get at least two sacks.

Alabama is far and away above the teams that have been able to sack Watson.
