Hello. It is May 21st and my dog is three years old today. He is a beautiful golden retriever who knows nothing but College Football Playoff seasons; two of his three years have been National Champion Pupper years. Thus today I feel moved to grandstand and shout online that Brent Venables is smarter than whomever Nick Saban chooses to employ for a mere season. It is Clemson’s staff longevity and scheming which overwhelmed Bama in January as much as any players did, and the staff returns intact. If you fear Clemson’s losses in the front 7 will render its defense hapless, this reminder is for you.
