It’s all going to come down to weaknesses vs. strengths. If Clemson spotted some weakness(s) that might be exploited it may not be even close.
How Alabama was kept under 50 against OU’s crap defense is the puzzle to solve. OU plays high school defense and Alabama looked pretty average in the 2-4th quarters.
How did OU’s one dimensional offense score 34 is the second part. Alabama’s defense was totally focused on Murray and they still got 34.
If Alabama doesn’t get out front early it’s going to be tough.
You must have watched a different game. Bama took a knee after having first and goal on the Oklahoma 6 yard line with almost a minute and a half left in the game. They could have easily scored if they wanted to get to 52 points.
