Really like what these guys have to say. But could you pick a bigger pair of nerd looking dudes to do your show? The stats were interesting.

Cliffs

  • Clemson secondary is young but talented, they are really good in man coverage while TEXAS faired poorly against man coverage (1st thing they talked about) vs Georgia and Aggie (not that Clemson is in their league defensively). Suspect we see the RBs and TEs featured a great deal in the passing game.
  • Clemson front does very poorly (one of the worst in Power 4) against zone run. I expect Tre to have a big day. Outside of TJ Parker who is a very good edge
  • Outside of Cade, the last 4 FBS games, Clemson has run the ball very poorly. OTOH, TEXAS has not been burned by a dual threat QB this season. Ask Reed down at Aggie. Though the Dawgs back up was a problem, TEXAS will be prepared.
  • Teams with good defensive lines give Clemson problems.
  • They raved about our front 6/7
  • Spread too high, TEXAS is the better team, 23-17
  • With above average QB play, TEXAS can win the National Title
More to it but that was the 1st 10 minutes.
