Numbers are regular season stats in yards:
Alabama Offense....... 40 Pass 9 Run
Clemson Defense....... 11 Pass 20 Run
Clemson Offense....... 7 Pass 37 Run
Alabama Defense.......9 Pass 1 Run
On defense, Clemson should stop ‘Bama’s passing game and could slow ‘Bama’s running game.
‘Bama's defense should stop Clemson’s running game cold but the Clemson offense could have success with college’s 7th best passing game. ‘Bama’s 1st against the run but 9th against the pass.
Looks favorable for ‘Bama but if Clemson’s run defense holds and they find success in their very good passing game it could be close. Obviously, a good passing offense scores points more quickly than a running offense. So if one team had to come from behind, Clemson’s passing game would have a better chance than Alabama’s running game.
And just as likely, there'd have been no flag.
Sucks that ESPN carries it.
No major broadcaster.
I found this. I don't know if it will work for you:
How about a 15 yard penalty for “giving him the business”?

When it happens on national television, sexual assault charges are appropriate.
Any man who purposely grabs another man’s balls outside of a doctor’s office is an animal who needs to be put down.
In Alabama we say, Don’t always bet for Alabama, but NEVER be against them.
Considering I had to say Ohio State sucks to a Michigan fan after tOSU’s humiliation at the hands of the Tigers I am rooting for Clemson to win it all tonight.
I think the team who scores the most points will be National Champions.
Me too only because during the singing of the national anthem I saw the majority of the Clemson players put their hand over their hearts the majority of Alabama dudes didn’t!
I think the team that hands the ball to Scarborough over and over and over will win....... just saying. Kiffin got too cute - with Sark “calling the plays” you can expect a Saban stamp on the game. Stick with the run until they stop it - if Clemson can stop him they have a good shot. If they can’t it won’t be close.
Keep on dreaming, FRiend.
Ain’t. Gonna. Happen. ;-)
Two questions: Why did the Navy parachutist with the US flag let it hit the ground and then wad it up in his parachute when he left the field? Why were Steve Spurier and Payton Manning on the field for the coin toss? Neither has any connection at all to either team.
Ruhroh, Clemson fumble
So where is the part where Clemson coughs up a dang score? zzzzz..
Bama’s lookin’ pretty dominant so far .. Watson seems a tad flat compared to the OSU wallopin’.
14-0 Bama
Only ESPN but Finebaum is on SEC Network with coverage
Didn’t see that, but Spurrier and Manning are to be inducted into college football hall of fame and were there for that reason.
Spurrier got lots of boos from the Clemson fans.
Come on, Clemson! Darn.
