re: Auburn vs. Clemson: Game Analysis

quote:

RB - Auburn.

I agree however I hope the staff trusts Etienne to play in this game. Hes shined in camp

WR - Toss up.

No its Clemson. Deon Cain lost around 20 lbs this off season and is a straight burner now. He will be a serious problem for teams all year. Hunter Renfrow is a big game player. Freshman Amari Rodgers and Tee Higgins will both play. Diondre Overton the 9 man (cains position) is long and can run

quote:

OL - Auburn. No real discussion needed. They have the returning starters and the experience.

---

Two sophomores on the left side. Sack fumble td against Southern. Expect Venebles to bring pressure there all night. Clemso returned 4/5 starters and is solid

quote:

---

DL - Clemson. Both have 5*s on the line. Clemson seems to develop their guys alot better though.

---

Yep

quote:

LB - ???????

---

5th year senior Dorian Odaniel. Been around the block and slides to nickle sam and battles with Renfrow in practice. Hastings will have his work cut out for him. Kendell Joseph is a run stopping fool and Tre Lamar in the middle has shown promise

quote:

---

DB - Auburn. Auburn fans will argue that Carlton Davis is the return of Carlos Rogers,

---

The guy Mike Williams bodied all night last year? Expect a different approach from Cain but if he is left in man Cain can do damage. Plus Clemson is constantly rotating receivers so Auburn better have some depth there or they will be tired by the fourth. Ask Ohio State coach Greg Schiano

The Clemson staff is full of guys who know how to beat Auburn and love beating Auburn. Swinney, Todd Bates, Mickey Conn and Lamanski Hall

That being said I have it a close game that could go either way. Just way to many unknowns at the Qb position for both teams. Stidham is good but has he gelled in the new offense yet
