It was clear that Alabama was the more physical team in the 2012 game. (That was one BIG and REALLY GOOD Alabama offensive line! Maybe one of the best...)
But things have changed under Balis -- his players have proved they can play with the SEC beating LSU and nearly beating runner up Georgia last year. (We already have proven we can play with Clemson -- even before Balis -- but it is playoff time...)
Guess this will be the ultimate test -- do posters believe Clemson is more physical than Michigan?
Good article with quotes from former coach Martin about ND and the differences:
