Can Clemson Beat Us? (formerly Can we beat Clemson?)

IMPORTANT NOTICE: I would like to formally request that, beginning now, no one on this board type "dominate" when they mean "dominant", or type "loose" when they mean "lose".

edit: I would also like to request that people avoid matching plural pronouns with singular subjects.

We is sick of you're elitism. Keep it up and you will loose and we will wins in dominate fashion.

What the hell, I'll bite.

OSU has some obvious warts, but I don't believe they're unfixable between now and Dec 31 with a month of bowl practices. An opportunistic offense and a stingy defense that forces opponents into a lot of turnovers is a recipe that has stood the test of time for decades, and that is exactly what OSU has this year.

OSU will be the underdog in the semi-final and would likely be a heavy underdog to Bama in the final should they reach that game, and that is exactly where Urban Meyer is at his most dangerous.


Am I crazy to think Washington has a decent shot against Alabama?

Chris Petersen made his bread and butter at Boise State taking down heavily-favored, exceedingly more talented teams thanks to game planning and excellent coaching. Give him a month to prepare and I think the Huskies have a shot.

yes you are crazy. they have major issues defending a QB that can move, and the best team they played this year completely manhandled them on the O/D-lines on their own field with a freshman QB that can't move. USC has absolute monsters that get very good pressure, and Browning has serious problems floating the deep ball and shorting passes over 20 yds, so against anyone that rushes the QB and disrupts, even a mildly competent secondary will just sit and willfully pick him a couple times. WSH hasn't played anybody with a pulse this year outside of USC and the only reason they had a chance to win that game was Darnold threw a really bad pick to keep them in it. at no point after half did you seriously feel that they would put together drives or break through the coverage and pick apart a defense.

yesterday i rewatched every WSH game from week 6, with the Ariz game thrown in there also from week 3, and he is so goddamn predictable it's disgusting. mark it down, he will try a throwback pass or some flee-flicker type shit on his first drive against CU to pick off a big play trying to get the corners and safeties to bite. their receivers are competent enough to get slight separation if that happens, but he is a momentum coach and if that gimmicky shit doesn't work, and it won't against a coach that knows it is coming and a defensive line that is twice the size of his offensive line, he becomes very vanilla.

if saban prepares correctly and watches just a couple games worth of tape they would get destroyed.
