Joel Klatt gets into heated Twitter debate with Danny Kanell over Michigan-Clemson comparisons
Published:
Joel Klatt and Danny Kanell got into it on social media recently. The two discussed who was better this season between Michigan and Clemson.
This all started after Klatt stated that Clemson would finish third in the B1G East or SEC East.
Kanell then downplayed the schedules of Ohio State and Michigan, guaranteeing that the Tigers would go undefeated with either.
Hey @joelklatt set your Buckeye pompoms aside for a minute and ask this question…would Clemson be undefeated vs Ohio State’s schedule or Michigan’s schedule to this point??? I guarantee they would!! Let’s not act like the Big Ten is some gauntlet…. https://t.co/j6AOZgTzaD

Klatt defended his stance by highlighting how Clemson’s QB situation is unsettled. He believes that Clemson would be undefeated if it had Ohio State’s schedule, but not Michigan’s.
They would likely be unbeaten vs Ohio State schedule…Not sure about Michigan schedule as I believe Penn State would be a tough match-up for them…I don’t use pompoms, brosef, I call it how I see it…Clemson has the most unsettled QB situation of any top 10 team…cry harder! https://t.co/Nn9sPMWzuG

Kanell then fired back by bringing up how D.J. Uiagalelei has done compared to J.J. McCarthy. Uiagalelei has 17 TDs with 4 interceptions, with McCarthy has 9 TDs and 2 interceptions. After that, Klatt wasn’t sure if Kanell had even watched the Wolverines play this season.
The last point that Klatt made in the debate was centered around how Clemson had to pull Uiagalelei in order to beat Syracuse over the weekend. Clemson is ranked No. 6 by Klatt, and he said that the Clemson is a great defensive team. However, there are inconsistencies on offense.
I have Clemson ranked 6th in the country…I do not think they’re bad…They have a great D and an inconsistent offense…Shipley and OL took that game over late and wore out Cuse…If Michigan and Clemson played this weekend it would be a great game
