College Football Playoff National Championship Preview

... The one exception was last week against Ohio State. I predict that Watson will throw at least one interception. With as good as Alabama’s defense is, and for as many times as Watson throws the ball and likes to take chances, it will happen. The most important thing will be where that interception occurs. If it’s inside Alabama’s red zone and takes points away from Clemson, not good. If it happens inside of their own 30 and gives points to Alabama, even worse. If it’s returned for a touchdown for automatic points for Alabama, then that is the worst. The key will be limiting the interceptions to 1. If Watson throws 2-3 interceptions in this game, Clemson won’t win. It’s that simple. They need to avoid the backbreaking turnovers that Alabama forces with ease. The other key for Clemson is taking advantage of Alabama’s slow starts. Alabama has a total of 20 offensive points in their last 4 1 st quarters, including a goose egg against FCS Chattanooga. If Clemson can get hot at the beginning and build a decent ...

The 10 Best Prop Bets For Alabama Vs. Clemson In The National Championship

... Bowl. Last year, Watson had 30 completions, and while I don't expect him to have the same kind of success as last year, I expect Clemson to throw early and often. Against Alabama, opponents often have to use the short passing game (screens, shovel passes and fly sweeps that count as passes) as an alternative to the run game because it's so hard to run at Alabama. I think Watson has more than 40 attempts in this one and can complete 24. Sports Line. More Sportsline. 3. Artavis Scott OVER 4 receptions: I think the Tigers turn to Scott in this game to be one of the primary screen and sweep targets and, with those short receptions, he can fairly easily cover this number. Nine times this season Scott has had four or more receptions, so the likelihood of a push at the least here is pretty good. 4. Mike Williams OVER 5.5 receptions: Williams had 90 receptions this season and had six or more catches in nine games, including seven of the final eight games. He's such a big, physical weapon that I expect Watson to target him early and often both on downfield attempts and also in the screen game to ...

Gerry Melendez __link__. Clemson's locker area was locked until their arrival at Raymond James Stadium on Monday. Gerry Melendez __link__. 1 of 107. TURNING POINT. Watson found Renfrow in the right side of the end zone for a touchdown that will be played over and over in Clemson for years to come. THREE POINTS. Star of the game: Watson kept getting knocked down and kept getting back up. For the second consecutive year, he put together a masterful performance against the nation’s best defense, finishing with 463 total yards and four total touchdowns. Crush: The play Clemson scored the game-winning touchdown on is called crush and was called by co-offensive coordinator Jeff Scott. Artavis Scott was able to pick Renfrow’s defender in man coverage to allow ...

College Football National Championship

... the return of Mike Williams are counted as knocks against him. He hasn’t been as accurate this year, but he has elite athleticism and gets rave reviews for his intangibles and leadership ability. Mike Williams (WR) - Watson’s big-play receiver, Williams is considered by many to be the top receiver in the draft (though he is in for stiff competition from Corey Davis ). Williams has the prototypical blend of size (6’3”, 220 lbs) and athleticism to be an “X” receiver in the NFL. Tyrone Crowder (OG) - A big, powerful, anvil of a right guard, Crowder plays to every ounce of his 340 pounds. Not tall at 6’2”, he uses his natural leverage well and plays guard almost like a nose tackle, jacking up defenders and putting them on roller skates. He will be a player to keep an eye on against Alabama’s talented defensive front. Jordan Leggett (TE) - Leggett used to have the reputation as a lazy player, but the switch seemed to turn to “on” for him in 2015 and committed himself to playing up to his talent. He is a dynamic athlete as a receiver and a well-rounded ...

Why Turnovers Will Determine The College Football Playoff National Championship

... multi-faceted rushing attack – but Clemson is stingy in the secondary, and Alabama might want to take its chances elsewhere. Hurts only attempted 14 passes in the Peach Bowl. He’ll need to make a few big plays in order for Alabama to win, but he doesn’t have to be Deshaun Watson. 3) Clemson strikes first before Alabama starts rolling. Alabama has a tendency to get your hopes up as an opponent before sucking the life out of you. Washington scored first in the Peach Bowl. It wouldn’t score again. In last year’s game, while Derrick Henry put the first points on the board, Watson’s TD toss to Hunter Renfrow gave the Tigers a 14-7 lead at the end of the first quarter. Alabama was unfazed. RELATED: How close was Clemson to winning last year's game. It’s as if the Crimson Tide find a sneering joy in offering a glimmer of hope before slamming the door shut. Their second half scoring margin is otherworldly this season; ever since its Nov. 5 game against LSU, Alabama is outscoring opponents 95-6 in the final two quarters. Now that’s a stat. If Clemson wants to win this one, it will have to ...

Final Score Predictions For 2017 National Championship

... Alabama, it's Clemson. That being said, I'm still picking Alabama. I get that aside from Clemson being incredibly talented, and having Watson. There's a lot of concern over the upheaval at Alabama, but while I don't think it's an ideal situation, I also think it's being overblown. Sarkisian has been a coach for 17 years, including six as a head coach. I don't think a few months away from calling plays will lead to him forgetting how football works. Also, even if the Alabama offense struggles, Clemson still needs to solve the Alabama defense. As amazing as Watson has been this year, he's still turned the ball over a lot. As we have all seen on a weekly basis, if there's a defense you don't want to turn the ball over against, it's Alabama's. And they can force them. I expect this to be a close game, and possibly even a classic, but at the end of it, the team holding up the trophy will be the one that's done it before. Roll Tide and whatnot. Robby Kalland - Alabama 27 Clemson 24: I expect this to be a lower-scoring version of last year's game where we get tremendous performances from both teams in a narrow Alabama win. For the most part, Watson has been able to ...
