Bormio Posted October 20, 2018 Report Share Posted October 20, 2018 Seems to me to be improbable, but far from impossible. Clemson can run the ball now. Pressure going to be huge on Bama - touted as one of best ever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ECHS05 Posted October 20, 2018 Report Share Posted October 20, 2018 No. Bama wont have another game closer than 30 if they choose not to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bormio Posted October 20, 2018 Author Report Share Posted October 20, 2018 I think Bama’s defense is not as good as before, and Clemson’s D could be great. Certainly only team that might have something for them - the QB change was essential. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BUFORDGAWOLVES Posted October 20, 2018 Report Share Posted October 20, 2018 Yes, Bama is getting dinged up with injuries, Bama may peak too soon also. Clemson looks fresh, Qb play is young and may be a season away at the championship level of intensity, although I don’t see any evidence to the contrary it’s just my opine at the moment. Regards, BGW p.s. LSU is rolling.... my fave team Ga needs to boat race the Gators and get back on track. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steeler01 Posted October 20, 2018 Report Share Posted October 20, 2018 We'll see how Trevor Lawrence responds when he doesn't have all day to throw the ball like he did today. NCSU is one of the worst defenses in pressuring the QB, and it showed today. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BUFORDGAWOLVES Posted October 20, 2018 Report Share Posted October 20, 2018 Yeah I second Steelers comments, NCSU did not look like a top twenty team today on both sides of the line. BGW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bama defense isn't elite but the teams at top this year aren't that strong and bama offense is loaded Even though i don't see this bama team as being as good as people are trying to make them out to be they probably win just because there is no real threat to them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bama is taking care of business with the opponents they face, we’ll know more EOS. My concern for Bama is that Bama may be peaking early and will fade as the season goes on. Injuries are a concern.

Columbiafan Posted October 21, 2018 Report Share Posted October 21, 2018 At least none I've seen In past years i usually see at least 1 or 2 in SEC that i would consider a credible threat to them This year i don't see one 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FloTex Posted October 21, 2018 Report Share Posted October 21, 2018 If Bama loses in 2018, they will have to beat themselves. I haven’t seen a team yet that will keep it within 10 pts... LSU might have a chance with the defense they play, and Auburn can make it interesting because the best teams don’t always win a rivalry game.

Bormio Posted October 22, 2018 Author Report Share Posted October 22, 2018 Clemson is improved on both sides of the ball this year vs last. Alabama is only improved on offense - albeit by quite a bit. Tua is great no doubt, but can make some bad throws. One late over the middle vs UT yesterday should have been picked in the end zone. Alabama has yet to play any defenses that might give them trouble - but Clemson has a slew of NFL-caliber players on theirs. And they might have enough offense to put pressure on Bama. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
