Previewing the Opponent Offense: Clemson Tigers
Tim Heitman-USA TODAY SportsAlabama has faced Clemson in the post season for the last three years in a row, and their offense in year 4 is still basically the same style. It’s most often in a 11 spread, with the running back lined up offset and behind the QB in the shotgun while the TE is more of an H-back who is generally close to being in the backfield.
While the quaterbacks have changed over the years— Kelly Bryant was not Deshaun Watson, and Trevor Lawrence is definitely quite different from Bryant— the basic concept is the same. The entire running game is based off of the read option, and the receivers are quite involved in the screen game.
