I am very surprised and very happy to see Utah moved ahead of Alabama, FSU and Clemson. They deserve a Top 10 ranking.
I was on the Clemson site and mentioned the same thing. If Utah hadn't jumped us in the polls then I would have called bullshyt b/c they earned it.
Have you seen Clemson play this season? they are horrible.
And y'all are better? I've seen y'all play on offense and i'll tell you this much...our Defense can shut y'all down pretty easy. If you really saw us then you'd know at least then few things.
1. Watson started 5 of 5 on his first 5 scoring drives for the season. We lost our top WR and instead of trying to do an Black Bear [leaving the starters in for most of the game just to get a blow out] we rotated 1st, 2nd and 3rd stringers in to get them some reps.
2. We did the same thing in the 2nd game as the first, still covered the spread while letting the youth get some reps and keeping the playbook vanilla.
3. Louisville played us safe. Basically the played off the receivers and basically begged us to throw short or have patience to run the ball. So what you saw was Clemson take the short yards and had to refrain from chucking it. We also had over 200yds rushing the ball and held them to 19yds rushing. You are getting lost in the box score and not realizing that even with them playing us that way it was 2 rushed throws and 2 shoestring tackles from being a blowout.
So tell me this...if you have to choose between Coker, Bateman or DeShaun Watson....who are you going to go with? I know you love Bama but keep that shade that way b/c y'all haven't looked that great either.
