I think we are giving way too much credit to the effect of a Waterboy. I am surprised that Saban let him anywhere near the sideline though
Might be a little bit of overlooking of the possibility the Clemson is just extremely good.Ya know, we laugh and say he has no input, but Butch comes off as the kind of guy who would give his opinion whether anyone asked for it or not. I don't think he had that big of an impact on last night, I think losing assistants and what not finally caught up to Alabama. Plus playing a hurt QB for most of the game probably didn't help either.
I think that's the big thing is that Clemson has displaced UT in the recruiting front pretty much across-the-boardTo go back a little further in time, Clemson owes a HUGE debt of gratitude to UT. If it weren't for Kiffin telling Taj Boyd he wasn't a fit for his system, would Clemson have started to have the success they had and be on the run they are on now?
