| FTBL Interesting stat re: Clemson starting 4 new OLmen...

[TerryP]

...since 1965, when they have started such a young group, their winning percentage is .530 for those seasons.

I'll leave the 35 sacks last year alone for the moment...

Yeah, I have been reading up on Clemson a little and most of their talk is how great things are going (Rivals) and little talk on their O-Line. They are not in good shape there. Lots of shuffling of the starters. With our D-line being a mystery for how good it will be, this may be a huge wildcard come gametime. With no running holes, there is nto much of a running game.

Also they had their best DLineman go down. LBs are still a guess, like ours.

As a UK friend of mine said, "I don't know who woke up and appointed Clemson as some great team this year, but they must have not seen the last few years."

I'm not sure he is their best d-lineman any more. Not since Bowers set foot on campus there. In their scrimmage the other day Bowers alone had 5 sacks.

A lot of people are talking about Clemson's DLine and Bowers in particular, giving our OLine trouble, but I think it's going to go both ways.

Bowers had 3 sacks, against their 2nd team offensive line.

Bowers isn't the guy that is their best defensive lineman and neither was Jackson. That nod goes to Ricky Sapp and Dorell Scott following him closely. Kevin Alexander is no slouch.

I stand corrected. But I know he was important, he was a starter.

Like anyone at UK knows who should be appointed a great football team. I personally don't know who deemed us to be so great this year either besides the media, but I would say that our chances are pretty good against Bama.

No one here disagrees with that.

Our chances against you(clemson) are pretty good as well.
