This will be the first time Clemson and Alabama have played each other since 1975. The Tigers thumped the Crimson Tide 56-0 in Tuscaloosa. However, Alabama leads the series 11-3.
Clemson is returning one of the most experienced and talented backfields in college football. This will be the third year the Tigers have the security of James Davis and C.J. Spiller at running back. Clemson also has senior Cullen Harper returning at quarterback. Last season Harper only broke 21 school records. Clemson should also have a stout defense led by its secondary. The Tigers have four returning starters to a secondary that was ranked 13th in the nation last season.
Nick Saban is entering his second season as Alabama’s head coach. He will have a three-year starting quarterback in John Parker Wilson and offensive line led by Andre Smith to rely on. Saban also has an exciting freshman wide receiver in Julio Jones. Unfortunately the rest of the team might not be that reliable.
Look for Clemson’s running game to expose Alabama’s defensive line.
