5 college teams that could beat the Cleveland Browns
By Tre LyDay
1. Clemson Tigers
With head coach Dabo Sweeney, the Clemson Tigers have done nothing but win football games. They took Alabama to the wire in the 2016 National Championship, and if not for allowing a kickoff return for a touchdown they probably would have won that game.
Kelly Bryant is similar to Deshaun Watson in terms of athleticism, but it remains to be seen whether he could handle a spotlight like this. Besides having a first-year starter at quarterback the Tigers have just as good of a defense as Georgia. Clemson ranked second in the country in scoring defense. They’re also right behind Georgia in rushing offense.

Most of the damage from the Clemson offense comes on the ground, seeing as they’re not even top 50 in passing offense. In order for the Tigers to actually beat the Browns it would without a doubt take a total team effort. Bryant is susceptible to turnover worthy throws it’s just a matter of the Browns actually cashing in on those throws.
This game would come down to the clutch factor. DeShone Kizer has yet to win a NFL game, and never really won any big games in his time at Notre Dame. Sweeney on the other hand has been to two straight title games, and is looking for a third. It definitely pays to be clutch.
