Clemson Sneaked In
With just a few weeks left in the season, Clemson’s season looked to be dead and making the college football playoff looked like such a long shot. Then they won a few games, beat SMU in the ACC Championship and they ended up sneaking in. In the last game SMU, Clemson was able to secure the 34-31 victory. Cade Klubnik completed 24 of his 41 passes for 262 yards, four touchdowns, and zero interceptions. Bryan Wesco Jr had a strong game finishing with eight catches for 143 yards and two touchdowns. Cade Klubnik, so far this season, has thrown for 3,303 yards, 33 touchdowns, and five interceptions. Phil Mafah is having a huge season on the ground rushing 214 times for 1,106 yards and eight touchdowns. Clemson is averaging 35.5 points while their defense is giving up 23.3 points per game.
How Good is Texas?
The big question right now is how good is Texas? There is some questions about Texas right now and some of them questioned how good they really are after the last game against Georgia. The offense scored only 19 points and they ended up losing by three points in overtime. Quinn Ewers completed 27 of his 46 passes for 358 yards, one touchdown, and two interceptions. Two games ago against Texas A&M, Texas was able to secure the 17-7 victory. The Longhorns are averaging 33.6 points while their defense is giving up 12.5 points per game. The offense is ranked 26th in the league while the defense is ranked 2nd in the league. On the season Ewers has thrown for 2,665 yards, 25 touchdowns, and nine interceptions.
Texas vs Clemson Prediction
There are rumors about Ewers transferring after this season, and that is probably good because the best quarterback on that team is sitting on the bench. Clemson overall this season is averaging 35.5 points per game. Texas’s offense hasn’t been as good the last couple of weeks, and they are going to really struggle to get the offense going here. Clemson is going to keep this game close, and I think they can win this game outright. Back Clemson getting the points here.
