Tua finished 9 games with a 206 passer rating, and threw 33 TDs.

Smith, Jeudy and Riggs are all better WRs than Higgins and Ross and even if they were all equal, Alabama has 3 of them and Waddle.

Nahjee Harris is a more complete back. Etienne is just faster.

and there is a better OL.

And Alabama only scored 34 on offense at home with 2 turnovers.

AND our defense is playing better.

Idk about that, but I do agree our defense is playing at a level they are not being given credit for

Faster is important if you get running lanes though

He can take it to the house from anywhere and seems to bounce off of tacklers pretty well for not being huge

Najee V’s. Etienne is a wash.

Won’t matter anyway. Clemson will be playing from behind and will have to throw the ball ALOT.

BAMA has(had) a better offense. No way TL throws for 400+ on this D.

I think you're spot on. I think we hold their offense to less than 30.

Etienne has been underestimated his whole career and will be playing with a chip on his shoulder.

He scares me more than TL and def more than Najee.

I think TL will make some mistakes against our D. Their receivers will make some plays, but I think our DBs will too.

It's just going to be a battle. Our leader hasn't let us down yet and hasn't flnched no matter how ugly the battle, so I am glad to be rooting for LSU.

Our offense will take the field expecting to score every possession. If they force us to dink and dunk, we will do that, and it will keep their offense off the field.
I think their offense is good, but it will be a fight for them to get points

A stat that caught my attention is Clemson's offensive stats vs OSU.

Leading rusher for Clemson - TL - 16 carries for 107 (Etienne was 10 carries for 36)

Leading receiver for Clemson - Etienne - 3 catches for 98 yrds. No other receiver had over 50 yrds receiving.

Does this mean that Clem found a way to win when their offensive game plan went to hell?

Don't know what this means for the game on Monday but interesting.

I think a lot of y’all are just trying to convince yourselves that Clemson isn’t that good. Well they are good and most likely be a challenge.

Which makes him a bigger home run threat than Najee

He's also much more elusive

Etienne is my biggest concern on offense

We saw what elite speed did to us w/ ole miss & bama

I think some of these points can be debated except one, bama had one of the best WR corps I've ever seen. The entire depth chart was made up of some bad dudes.

Clemson has good WRs but they are no comparison. I think LSU is the only team with a similar set of play makers and our Secondary faces them all the time in practice.

Was Etienne passed over bu LSU in recruiting (which might put a chip on his shoulder), was it the other way around?

Tua was 2 weeks out of surgery and still did that.

Etienne is much better all-around than Harris. Other than that I’d say Bama has the edge everywhere else.
