Now save your breath here homeslice, cause I know what you'll say! :smiley_coolpeace: This is just my opinion and I know you've heard it before...
I don't think Alabama is the most talented team in the country on either side of the ball. Exception being their d-line, which is arguably the best in the country. Where Alabama is most talented is on the sidelines. Their coaching staff is the best in the country from top to bottom. Their ability to create gameplans and get their kids to execute them is top notch. It'll be interesting to see how the D does without Smart. The players are certainly talented and their is a ton of NFL talent there, but those coaches are as good as it gets. And that's saying something cause I hate Saban!
I'll also say this, I have a lot more respect for Clemson now. I thought they were overrated. They're much better than I originally thought. I haven't seen the second half yet, but will watch it later. They came to play. Congrats to both teams for playing a game that lived up to the hype. Certainly better than last year's ass whipping...
