How to beat Bama

[Shamoan]

Clemson's playcalling was freaking phenomenal. they went balls out and called the near perfect calls throughout the night and used bama's defensive tendencies against them. take away that on side kick and clemson probably wins...


aside from clemsons and watsons ability to freakishly sense the pressure from five different directions and somehow take the singular path to safety time and time again, it was truly a great playcalling and execution effort. if you cant get 5 turnovers, clemsons playcalling was the next best thing. You can get damn close with some execution and excellent playcalling. hats of to clemson. i am very impressed and had the on-side gone differently, the tigers would be champs.

Your QB has to play a A+ game. That's the only way to beat them. You lose with a B+ game.

Then you have to hit them on the edges.

Have a freak QB performance (Newton, Manziel, Garcia, Tebow), have a hell of a lot of luck (Kick 6, Balls Bouncing Off Of Helmets), or have them turn it over about 4 or more times.

A little tangent to the topic here, but I think the SEC west dodged a huge bullet when Fuente went to VT. His offense with just a run of the mill LSU defense would likely be the end of the Saban dynasty. He already figured out how to beat the one guy that Saban can't.

Clemson did layout a pretty good Blue Print---I hope Mullen was watching.

Of course Ole Miss's Blue Print works too---get Bama to fumble the opening kick-off, get Bama to turn it over 5 times, get Bama to oddly start their backup QB instead of Coker, and make sure to throw the football into double coverage so that it can bounce off your WR's helmet and pinball into your other WR's waiting hands who then runs for a TD.

I hope Mullen was watching.

he's out recruiting 2* recruits, looking for that diamond in the rough. ain't got time to watch a game. **
