There will not be a fast, athletic defense in the Orange Bowl.
Clemson by 17. |

Clemson is good? Lost to Georgia Tech and got the garbage kicked out of them by NC State. Barely beat Wake Forest. Don't let the two Va Tech wins suck you back into the Clemson Titanic.

Read my post again. I said Clemson ISN'T all that good. Neither is WVU. Clemson, a not so good team, rolls here. |

Sammy Watkins was out for the NC St game. He is a big part of that offense |

#9 Posted: 12/23/2011 2:52:30 PM QUOTEI agree with Chalkis for the same reasons, Clemson is just the better of two average teams. WVU has been shaky all season long and is overrated. Clemson should light up a weak WVU defense with all their playmakers. The Big East makes the ACC look like a powerhouse conference. Clemson rolls in this one despite Dabo on the sidelines.

I like clemson also but if you wanna make a case for west virginia it's not that hard to do. The acc isn't any better as a conference than the big east, talent wise they are very similiar. Beat good rutgers and cincinnati teams on the road. One of the few teams to actually move the ball vs. lsu, even gave them a mild scare for a while.
Also we're talking about a clemson team that got destroyed by nc state, and demolished by south carolina. I see this as a fairly even game honestly, but i think the rb's being out for west virginia is gonna hurt them a bit more. Both teams should be motivated because neither was thought to be that great preseason. Not to mention it's a prime time orange bowl game. |

Both plays feel gross. Clemson -2.5 along with every tom person and harry and johnny come lately gambler after opening at 3.5?
Give me that OVER in a shoot out. Small play on West Virginia contrarian investment. |

#24 Posted: 1/4/2012 12:31:17 AM The
Mountaineers leading rusher is out and the other back (Shawne Alston) runs a
5.2 in the 40. Both teams have 2.5 Playmakers at the receiver
position. Clearly WV gets the check mark under center with Geno
Smith. I typically like to be on the side with the stronger QB, however
I've watched both of these squads multiple times this year and I think Dana
Holgorsen is a terrible tactician and he doesn’t make great decisions in tight situations. I think Dabo Sweeney will out coach him in a tight game AND this will be a tight game.
With that said, put me down for Clemson minus less than a field goal
please. Thanks!

Totally agree. I am worried I'm missing something here. Seems totally logical to take Clemson. |
