Clemson played good, never quit but here is a question for you, If Clemson had to follow this game and play Arkansas next week followed by LSU and then Ole Miss with the week in and week out pounding do you think they would contend for the SEC? I don't. Here is why I counted 7 Clemson players who were shaken up in this game. 1 did not return, 1 more had to go to the locker room for treatment, the other were not the same even though they continued to play. I saw 1 Alabama player with 1:04 to play after a kickoff being helped off the field. This is why the SEC has won 8 of the last 10 and played in 9 of the 10. Playing in the SEC makes the teams with the depth to survive battle tested. Clemson can compete when its one game but can they compete through an 8 game SEC schedule.
