How many points to beat Bama?

Assuming the likely scenario of Alabama winning out and Clemson following suit, how many points do you think it would take to outscore Alabama?
Neutral field, possibly a Tua who isn't 100%, Clemson being the best defense AND offense they'll see...
I'm going with 31, and that's being generous to them. Assuming Tua is able to get closer to 100% and the Clemson secondary not being its strong point, I think that may be the number to reach.
Points against Missouri, LSU, and MSU were only 39, 29, and 24 respectively.
We definitely have the defense, and if we put together a complete game offensively, a W isn't hard to fathom.

so I'm a bit rusty, but I came up with
W= x +1
w= clemson win
x = points alabama scores

This likely would be a defensive game. I suspect that neither team will score big numbers. Which ever defense plays the best will probably win. Field position will be important. That concerns me because, regardless of what we are told,Clemson is sorely lacking for a punter. A few short drives and the game could be over.

I think we will beat the brakes off of them. We got the muscle offensively. Better on D and O than they are. Especially if Tua's knee is still bothering him. We will get some brutal hits on him.

I think the real interesting question is what the over/under will he and what the odds are for Tua making it through the first half without getting hurt.]
I am not advocating that we intentionally try to hurt Tua but he is going to find out that our defense is better than LSU and Miss State and we have knocked several QBs out of the game this year.
We have to get pressure on him with our front 4 and strategically timed zone blitzes.

Keep in mind, Tua has some tough games ahead. The points we will need are constantly decreasing.

I think we can hold them to 31. So I was going to say 32 points to win.
Their D will be tough. It'll all be on Trevor's arm to beat Bama.

Keep in mind that they are also the best offense and defense we have seen all year as well.

I believe Clemson can hold Alabama to one score per quarter with no turnovers, so 29+ points can win.
If Clemson turns the ball over it will become a shootout.
