    We have been tested for sure.

    I was watching Clemsons D and they blitz A LOT. Their biggest strength. But frankly, they look slow in the middle and backend.

    Clemsons O will be more complete as a unit than OU was.

    the guy who wrote that article can kiss my ass,.. most Duck fans had their sights focused on the Rose Bowl from the very start of the season,.. the playoffs was a pipe dream, that almost came true,.. I never ever posted that we were national champion caliber, we're not deep enough, there are holes in the team, and most of our talent is too young,.. but bring on the badgers, that's a good match-up, and I love that we're in the Rose Bowl.

    This is very cool for our seniors,.. they were on our crummy 4-8 team, they had three head coaches in three years, but hung in there, stayed true to their school and teammates,.. and now that we've stabilized, they get to play in the best bowl game on New Year's Day,.. I'm going to say it,.. as a reward for their hard work, perseverance, and loyalty, they get to go out, playing in, "the granddaddy of them all",. God bless em, I'm very proud of this team

    ... and our defense is better than Oklahoma's,.. Go Ducks

    Burrow will eat them alive if they blitz a lot. Of course, he will also eat them alive if they only rush 3 and drop 8 back. Their goose is cooked either way.

    Need to contain TLaw and TEtienne and not give up the big runs. Thats what kept Clempson in game during crucial downs. This assuming the backfield can play man effectively and steal possessions.

    I agree. I am from Etienne's hometown of Jennings. The last couple of years folks around town understandably supported Clemson in the playoffs. That won't be happening this year! The guy was awesome in high school. I'm just hoping for one bad game for him in two weeks.

    Seabrook - my stepmom lived in Jennings. She passed away last year. She was really involved with JHS and the Quarterback Club. The principal there was one of my teachers in HS.

    My step-mom's name was Judy Schultz. She was one of the Schultz girls that lived on. N. Cutting in that big house. Did you know her or her sisters? I didn't post her married name. I tried to message you but it said you don't take them

    You tell us. You are in the best position to answer that.

    seriously, this is why the CFP has to start Jan 1 or after.

    Great post. And I was going to thumb this, but alas, you have erred. The Sugar Bowl is the best New Year’s Day bowl game. Thank you for playing. ;)
