Clemson vs. Alabama (+5)

We are hearing the talk again. 'This is Clemson's year'. The Tiger's have a ton of offensive talent at the specialty postions. But......their offensive line has just a few questions since they are starting 5 underclassmen, and 3 new starters. On defense, Clemson should have one of the better stop units in the country. WIth that said, it is games like this that Clemson has the tendency to lose. And lose late.

Alabama is still in a bit of rebuilding mode in Saban's 2nd year, but they aren't dearth of talent. John Parker Wilson is entering his 3rd year as the starting QB, and we should see some vast improvement in his Senior year. They should also have a pretty good defense on their side of the ball. I really only see two likely outcomes. Either Clemson is ready to put a hurt on Alabama and beat them by 2 TD's or more, or it remains close throughout and Alabama pulls off the upset. I'll side with history and take the Tide in a low scoring see-saw battle........Alabama 23 Clemson 20.
