mirror teams. both have young qb's that are similar. hurts is a better runner and Bryant is a better passer.
both have great defense.
the difference - Alabama's injuries. 1 or 2 of the right LB's come back in time, it could change.
really close to pick, but auburn did what no one else could - really slow the running game, contain hurts from running and keep ridley covered when hurts scrambled. Clemson can probably do the same.

Gumps won’t win. We exposed them just like we did last year. Daddy Dabo sees the blueprint laid forth by Orgeron yet again.

Celebrating a 14 point loss in which the other team had the ball inside their 10 to end the game.
It's truly something.

Alabama effortlessly ran for more than 200 yards against Auburn and abandoned it Midway through the third quarter for some reason. I bet they don't make that mistake again.

did we watch the same game? Alabama was going 3 and out or so over and over again because they couldn't run the football. sure, they had a couple of big running plays, but most runs went for 0 -3 yards. they were turning the ball over on downs too often, which is not Alabama football.
should they have stuck with it? I dunno.

Lol, we said this after OU, tOSU, and Clemson last season.
Not trying to be pessimistic, but odds are we're not going to commit to running the ball.

I guess not. Damien Harris averaged over 8 YPC, Bo Scarbrough averaged over 7 YPC, and as a team we averaged 5.4 YPC. Finished with over 200 yards on the ground.

I think it will be best match up in terms of comparing staffs game plans and adjustments with so much more time to prepare.
Loads of talent on both sides, opportunistic Ds, and explosive players who can get big chunk plays. I'm thinking a third straight classic finish (one possession game) or a blow out going either way.
Would love to see a dedicated ball control, run oriented power game from UA and a D that can cover Renfrow/contain Bryant and get Clemson off the field on 3rd down. Daboll has not impressed me with his play calling or in game adjustments. We'll see how it goes.
CNS is the best in the business with max time to prep and dissect a team. It's the short turnaround of the CFP scenario that he has struggled adapting to. That said, if Bama beats Clemson, I'd much rather play UGA than OU simply because the OU offense would take a lot more prep than would be available. Plus, I'm certain they already have a working game plan based on anticipation of playing them in the SEC Cg.

a couple of runs ran your average way up. harris had what, 7 carries? about the same for scarbrough. if you examine it, harris had a 50 yard run. that means he got about 1 and 1/2 on the other carries. same for Bo.
the potential was there for more big runs, but Alabama wasn't getting enough plays.

- Alabama had 38 runs
- Alabama had 34 non-sack/non-FG mishap/non-fumble snap runs
Of those 34 runs
- 6 were for 10+ yards (18%)
- 18 were for 5+ yards (53%)
- 22 were for 4+ yards (65%)
- 10 were for 0-2 yards (29%)
- 0 were for negative yards (0%)
That means on designed runs/scrambles Alabama averaged 6.6 YPC. If you take out Bo and Harris' two big runs of 21 and 31.......Alabama still averaged 5.4 YPC.
We ran the football fine against Auburn. We stupidly got away from it on 2nd down when we had it at 2nd and 6 and ended up in tons of 3rd and 6s. We converted almost literally none of them.

You should re-read the list and re-think what it says.
I'll give you another hint, the percentages don't add up to 100%.

Except.... Auburn is nowhere near the level of Clemson up front. But go ahead and live in fairy land for awhile longer if it makes you feel better. But you are headed for a rude awakening.

I'm not sure how much difference this will make but this will be the first time they play in the semifinals which means both teams have the full time between the season and bowls to prepare for each other. The previous two times they each only had the week or so after their semifinal game.
