I wouldn't be surprised to see SMU use Kayce Medlock like Clemson uses Artavis Scott-that's actually how he was used in high school too. Both wear No. 3

Clemson turns the ball over but manages not to have the play itself turn into a TD - that's the key. Non-offensive TD's is how 'Bama has steamrolled teams this year. Give their solid D a chance to stop the still-freshmen QB without Lane's play calling and the Tigers have a chance.

Notice how Clemson has been running plays with the RB Wayne Gallman as a split receiver and then bringing him back across the field on a jet sweep or use him as a outlet receiver, I'd like to use Braeden West in that role. There are still formations/plays to this Offense that SMU hasn't fully installed-I notice every time Clemson plays-and I noticed SMU adding new formations/plays late into the season. In 2015 it was really vanilla in comparison to what you can do with the right pieces

Navasota made a living with that play...it is dependent on having a tackle that can hold the edge. Interesting to see if Alabama adjusts if it gets more traction.

Clemson feels like they are playing to keep it close instead of winning.

I agree gostangs. Clemson is playing not to lose. They need to play with more confidence. Especially Desuan Watson. He is playing not to make a mistake. They need him to be the man, they don't have enough to beat Alabama straight up.

So I was right after all. I can't remember who owes me an apology.

That was a pretty huge drop.
