Clemson vs Auburn: Scoring Predicitons
Andrew Boardwine
Score: Clemson 42, Auburn 23
Why: Auburn keeps it close for a half, but Clemson’s depth and talent shines through in the second half as the Tigers pull away in the third quarter.
Tyreese Ingram
Score: Clemson 35, Auburn 17
Why: The Tigers will contain Auburn’s running game enough to pull out the win.
Ben Greeson
Score: Clemson 38, Auburn 20
More from Rubbing the Rock
Why: A Deshaun Watson led offense is impossible to pick against. I expect Clemson to have to weather an early wave of emotion and adversity, then talent and experience will take over as the Tigers will pull away in the 2nd half.
Cole Little
Score: Clemson 48, Auburn 20
Why: There are too many questions surrounding Auburn’s inexperienced offense for the Plainsmen to hang with the Clemson Tigers. Expect Deshaun Watson to dominate in his debut in what could be a Heisman-winning season.
Travis Pettigrew
Score: Clemson 35, Auburn 17
Why: I think Auburn will be pretty good defensively but I don’t think they have the offensive firepower to hang with Clemson.
