Alright everyone:
List your best analyst-esqe gameplan in order to take down Bama. Trying to see if anybody can hit on something that hasn't been covered yet by the media.

pass the ball through the air and run the ball on the ground and sometimes kick the ball, too. The team that scores more points has a great chance to win the game.

Honestly, the one thing the media has not really hit on
Dec 24, 2017, 11:30 AM

is this myth that Bama is coming healthy at linebacker. They will get some talented depth back but two of their studs won't be coming out of that tunnel in pads. That, plus a d-line that does not really compare to their monsters from last year, means that Clemson could have some real success running the ball...like unprecedented success against a Saban defense. Deshaun's monster passing yards were the story the last two years...this year the story will be 250+ rushing yards, with Feaster and ETN each over 100.

...the return of Clemson's deep passing game.

KB's ankle was injured and that cost him accuracy on the long ball. He may still overthrow some receivers but he's going to hit a few and torture Bama's secondary. Our WR's are fast enough to get a long way down the field in 3-4 seconds.
Our running game is well known but we've thrown few wheel routes and shied away from anything much over 20 yards.

Be Clemson, play tough defense run and pass the ball .Refs call holding or tackling on their oline.

Cain is the critical player in this part of our game.

He's been slighted this season to get some of the younger players ready to perform on the big stage. If Cain is of an attitude to make his move to the pros this season Dabo will call his number several times.
If he wants to be a high draft pick he will find a way to catch the ball. Imo, he will succeed and show the world why he should be considered a first round pick.

3rd Down Conversion Pct I think this is a big key to this game. Clemson stays on the field. Alabama don't.
Clemson Offense 9th Alabama Offense 51st
Clemson Defense 5th Alabama Defense 19th
Also another tidbit I have ran across. Ridley has 55 catches on the year. The next two WR have only 18 catches each. Pressure Hurts and cover Ridley.
Go Tigers!

Spread them early on the edge and deep with one on one match ups. Take over a tired Bama D in the second half by running it up the middle with our fresh backs from being rotated. On D contain Hurts as they all say, stop the run, and make any WR but Ridley beat us.

Keys to the game *Get the refs to call holding, targeting, and pass interference.
That happens and we likely win easily. If Auburn got pressure with 4 so can we. Hold Bama to 14 points like AU and we walk to the finals.

That's one point I didn't realize. If AUBURN rushed with only four I don't see how they can stop us. I'm just worried about the backup's behind Clelin and Bryant.

Their linebackers

It looks true that they are thin there, but only in numbers. They are thick - built to stop the run - 240 lbs and 250 lbs. I say throw the ball to TF28 and TE9 coming out of the backfield and see if their guys can keep up with TNT in the open field.
Plus, spread the field and then run right at them.

Agree, RBs out of the backfield could be big gains. Maybe hit TE crossing over middle as well. Try Renfrow long. We should run a lot: 9/28, 26/27, and 2. Cannot get stopped in FG range, because we may miss - need TDs each trip into the red zone.

up the gut with a few screen passes and an occasional 10-15 yd pass.
Double team Ridley and stack the line occasional blitz

Score more points than them.
I think this will be much lower scoring than the first two games. Obviously turnovers are/can be an absolute game changer, but it may come down to field goals. That doesn’t sound good for us given they have one of the bast punters/place kickers in the nation and we’re using our backup. However, I think we may be able to block one of their field goal tries (45+ yard attempt), and maybe even get a pick 6 on D! If we can do that and flip the field a couple times on special teams, I think we’ll beat them. Everything equal, I believe we’re just as good as Bamer if not better.
