Comparing Clemson to Tennesee

[FeatheredCock]

Am I nervous? Sure, but I was nervous against the Volunteers as well. Both Clemson and Tennesee have a good QB and outstanding WR's. Clemson has a better running back than UT, but UT has a far superior OL. Their defenses are pretty similar in my opinion. I guess I just don't understand how those outside of the Gamecock community see Clemson as a better team. I also believe that Clemson will play tight, especially of they fall behind early.

I think their fans and a lot of our fans watched UT throw TDs on us all day and now they are excited and our fans are concerned. After UGA held on to beat UT, the UGA fans talked about how UT has a few future NFL O-linemen on their team. I didn't believe it until we played them. Those guys blocked our D-line extremely well and therefore Bray had time to hurt us with his arm. I don't care how good your secondary is, they can't cover great WRs for long. Thankfully, Clemson's offense doesn't appear to be near as good as UT's. Therefore we should be able to pressure Boyd most of the night. I think this game will be closer than the last 3, but I still think that we win. And I may be getting fooled in thinking that it will be close again. We may dominate them again. Regardless, I expect us to win Saturday night.
