It's about time. Being conservative on offense isn't gonna beat Alabama. You gotta go at their throat - just like Pitt did to Clemson.
People simply have not learned their lesson this college football season:
Do. Not. Make. Declarative. Statements. About. The. Outcome. of. a. College. Football. Game. That. Is. Still. In. Its. First. Half.
How many times do people who say "This is a mismatch! Team A is completely destroying Team B!" have to be shown to be premature before they learn their lesson?
College football is subject to EXTREME momentum swings... more than any other sport.... and there is no such thing as a game between two competitive teams that is over in the first half.
Arkansas led VT 24-0 at halftime this bowl season... and lost 35-24.
Penn State led USC by 14 with under 7 minutes to go... and lost.
Game after game after game people want to make declarative statements based on a quarter or a half. The game changes too quick for that.
This is a football game... and unless Hurts can show he can pass, Clemson has a real shot at this.

Do yourselves a favor and turn on ESPNU and catch a few minutes of Bill Walton, who knows nothing about football. He just asked Keyshawn Johnson where he played and if he was a good player. Bilas is sitting next to him and just shaking his head.
Uh... no.
Listening to Bill Walton on ANY subject is the opposite of "doing oneself a favor".
I find him enjoyable, but I can definitely understand that sentiment
I flipped over for a moment and it seemed like there were three conversations going on at the same time. Couldn't hear a damn thing. What the hell is the purpose of that feed?
Walton is a commentator that if I turn on a game and he's in the booth, click. Off it goes. Worse than Vitale and that's saying a lot.I find him enjoyable, but I can definitely understand that sentiment
I was hoping Clay Travis would Periscope live during the game, I like foul mouthed sports commentary, but that's just me.
Clemson has got to do a better job against the run in the second half. I fear Watson throwing ints against that D, be he must be bold and take chances.
Turnovers were Clemson's bugaboo when they've struggled this year, including against Pitt. Simply can't do it.
That's the main reason I thought Alabama would win, I couldn't see Clemson doing well in the turnover wsr.
Alabama just doesn't make mistakes....Clemson is making enough for both teams
Time for Clemson to break on through, pierce that tough resilient rhino hide of a defense and take the lead.
You're nuts. This is a fantastic game.
And Clemson definitely proving they are Alabama's equal at minimum.
