    Just saw video of Tagavolua practicing and he seemed to be moving pretty well. With 2 weeks to go hopefully that means everyone will be healthy and available.

    I think it's because the bettors feel that Clemson is close to being on the same level with Alabama, they've been reading about the QB being the best freshman QB ever to play, about him being the #1 NFL potential QB of any QB in college right now, and that Clemson has 4 first round picks on the DL and a solid group of younger players backing them up. Then they rewind the tape of USC's freshman QB carving up the ND pass defense for awhile.

    Has the line for OU/Alabama stayed the same?
