Texas A&M at Clemson

A&M played a tough, tough schedule last year (opponents were 86-42) so they were better than their 24.3 PPG allowed would indicate. Dennis Franchione showed great defensive improvement in his second year and we expect more of the same this year as eight starters return on defense. Clemson gave up just 16.3 per game at home last season. Games during the first month of the season with a total between 49.5 and 56 featuring a home team that closedout last season strong with 4 or more wins in last 5 games and starting an experienced returing QB have gone UNDER 26-5 (84%) over the past ten seasons. We'll back the UNDER here for one star.
