Up to 10 freshmen will play in opener vs. Clemson

TUSCALOOSA, Ala. -- Many of Alabama's highly regarded freshmen will be pressed into action immediately.

Crimson Tide coach Nick Saban expects to play close to 10 freshmen in the opener against No. 9 Clemson.

The Crimson Tide (No. 24 AP) has too many depth issues to let members of that top-rated recruiting class ease into their first season.

Saban says they will make some mistakes early but the team will be better in the long run.

He says Julio Jones has been one of the team's two most consistent receivers in practice, along with veteran Mike McCoy. Freshman B.J. Scott is also a candidate for playing time.

This game being the first of the season works in Clemson's favor two ways: 1) Alabama will have a lot of inexperienced players on the field 2) It isn't late enough for Clemson to start choking.

Ergo, 100 large on the Tigers.

I am a fucking dumbass.

Why you ask? I'll tell you.

Things I know:
1) Tommy Bowden makes John F Cooper look like Bill F'ing Walsh.
2) The ACC plays the closest form of football to powder puff flag as possible by NCAA rule. Clemson is a finesse team even by ACC standards.
3) The "experts" are all bigger dumbasses than I am

So what do I do?

Listen to the fucking "experts", give Bowden some credit and bet that his team can handle one of the more physical teams in the SEC.

Same here brother. You look at that roster and say "There's no way even Tommy Bowden can fuck that up". Whoops.

It's odd we aren't getting the Clemson - Bama game here....oh well....

You're in Springfield, right? Getting the MSU game out of Dayton makes sense with Ringer being from Dayton (plus it's a Big Ten game). I'd much rather have that game here in Cincinnati. Bama-Clemson is a real stinker so far.

Can we ban Clemson from the Top 25 until they actually win something?

...And OUCH! 17 bets on Clemson, none on Bama? I'm glad I stayed away from this one.

They sure do seem to be caring out a nice niche as the North Morgantown of the ACC...

To be fair to the 'Eers, they win their bowl games and some of their games against ranked teams (even if those ranked teams don't actually belong). Clemson loses to anybody with a number next to their name.
