re: I'd rather play Clemson than Utah

I’m sure a Utah is a good team, but they don’t have the talent Clemson has on O or D. 9 of the 11 starters from last years O that crushed the weak ACC teams AND the two undefeated CFP teams by combined 70 points are back. Lawrence, Higgins, Ross and ETN and 4 of those 5 OL that went up and down on the Bama D that would be the best on CF this season are back. Utah’s O has nothing on Clemson. And while TLaw had a rocky start to season by his standards, since the Louisville game, he is 66-85 (78%) for 1007 yards, 13 TDs and 0 INT. Only Burrow has been better.

Defensively, they lost the top 4 DL from last year, but the current starters were backups last year and played a lot last season. They, too, were highly rated 4 and 5 star re recruits. The back 7 is the best in football this season and is their strength. Venables has coached in what 5 or 6 national championship games,winning 4. Statistically, this Clemson D is better than last years.

Sure, you could say who have they played this season when you compare the to other teams. But that didn’t stop them last season when they blew out what was talked about as the best CF team of all time in Bama.

Clemson has won 2 of three national championships. Came close to a third. Has beaten all the big name programs the last 6-8 years. Utah may be a good team this year, but my money would be on Clemson being better.
