5. Clemson wins the punting game

Would you believe that Clemson is actually playing an opponent with a worse punting game than them?

It really hasn’t happened this season.

The Tigers are currently ranked No. 90 in the country in net punting. There really haven’t been many teams that are worse in the category than Clemson, but believe it or not Alabama is.

The Crimson Tide are currently 120 in the nation and I think, maybe for the first time all season, Clemson wins the punting game. Field position will be very important in this one.
