GT vs Clemson - Betting Odds

The spread s what they think the public thinks to get the money even. I could see Joe Schmoe from Pennsylvania or Utah or wherever thinking that. We can either start off well and be "in the game" or get blown out before we know what hit us.

Clemson had a good run last year and had some luck on their side. Hell, they almost lost to Troy and NC State. They did lose to Pitt. The FSU and VT games were close. There is nothing special about Clemson so get that öööö out of your mind

they've had a "good run" the last 3 years
 
I think the Clemson D being successful against us is a combo of them being really aggressive and our pass-pro being just barely bad enough to not make them pay. Maybe I'm looking through gold colored glasses, but I remember 4 or 5 plays over the last 3 Clemson losses ('13, '15, '16) that were layup TDs if our pass pro held on for a half second longer. They send safety blitzes to bottle up the run game and we counteract with AB seam routes that we murder other teams with. But their pass rush is so good that JT hasn't had time to get the throw off. And on the replay you see JT running for his life with our guy free and clear up the middle of the field. We finally hit one or two of them at the end of the '13 loss for some quick TDs.

If our pass pro can hold up slightly better against them we can hit on or two of those deep throws and force their safeties back which will free up our outside run game that we got used to seeing shred talented Clemson defenses in '08-'11.

I'm with you JJ. I am taking the 18. Hell, they had to lose over 85% of their offense with Watson, Gallman, & Williams departing. They might reload, but not at that level. The QBs in their spring game left a lot to be desired. If Watson were playing, all bets are off. With a new QB & supporting cast, I'm takin the 18 while it is still on the board.

Going 14-1 two years in a row and beating Bama in a championship game is a little more than lucky. They special.
