if they cannot...this thing could get ugly, running QB or no. I have seen some games and some comments that are making me think they can't move the LOS or pass protect.

I am sure Dabo will be telling us all about it during Clemsons celebration interviews.

Nobody can block Bama. Not even the Berlin Wall. They're GOATs

Is that want you want to hear?

Dabo will have a good offensive game plan and a mobile QB with weapons has always given Saban trouble. However, this front 7 is unlike Clemson has ever seen. They won't be able to consistently block Bama but if Dabo can get his guys into space quickly, they have a shot. Bama wins though.

They are going to get after Deshaun hard. I see only a few options

1) He gets wrecked all game, turnovers are forced and made ineffective like Dak (70%)
2) He gets hurt like Colt (20%)
3) He makes incredible GOAT plays after extending the play with the legs like Cam (10%)

Watson doesn't get sacked very often, but he does get pressured. When he's in pressure he doesn't perform well at all.

Anyone can be blocked, if you have the OLine to do it. I am saying I am not sure Clemson does.

Clemson o line is good enough. I think some of you are underestimating how good deshaun Watson is

I'm not exaggerating when I tell you our front seven is the greatest in the history of college football. Deshaun has never faced an NFL defense, he will on Monday.

nobody has been able to block us all year, and we only rush 4. watson will have to be on the move, pretty sure we are going to emphasize containing him and not over-pursuing while going for the big hit. hes a better runner than a passer, and hes at his weakest when passing on the move under pressure (makes mistakes, throws ints). i think we can cover clemson's receivers with our guys, i think we can affect watson and stop the run with just 7 in the box, and i think we can afford to have a spy on him most of the time. They will score some, probably will be on some big plays or off our turnovers. Thats pretty much the only way anybody has been able to do it this year. hard to tell how good their D is when they play such garbage teams all year. they seem to have pretty good team speed, but i doubt they have the depth to take a pounding from our run game. as long as we dont get in a hole early from turnovers we should be able to crush the life out of them on both sides of the ball by the 4th quarter, then it would get out of hand. If we have to play catch up witht he pass game, i feel alot better about our chances now than i would have 2 months ago. Coker has improved so much over the season its incredible

Can't find one for the whole team, but this is disturbing.



But there is this:

CFB Film Room ?@CFBFilmRoom Jan 7

Clemson's starting offensive linemen have been responsible for just 6 sacks through 14 games.. Alabama defense leads nation with 50 sacks.

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.
