On offense, they like to get their big people outside and make your little people try and tackle them. Yeah, not good. The corner opposite of Terrell, I hope he gets good sleep tonight.
They attacked the middle more against Missouri though. Must have seen a weakness there, or they just guessed everybody knows they want to live along the sidelines.
Sellers is such a good runner. Definitely what makes their offense go. They don't have to worry about short yardage, so it opens up everything. He sprains an ankle their offense is VT level. That's why you don't see teams running air raid on every street corner. Just sooo much easier w/ the one read, tuck and run stuff.
Their offense does present problems, but I think Clemson will be fine if they bring the physical level of play they brought against VT. U of has much better players than VT put on the field that night, but Clemson was much more physical and played with much more urgency and focus. And that's what it will take.
On defense, Uof is very solid, very few busts, very few guys running wide open. Their tackling has greatly improved over the course of the season. It was typical Uof terrible tackling earlier in the season, but they have cleaned that up in a major way. I don't see the dominant pass rush that we saw earlier in the season anymore. It just looks like an average college football team getting after the passer now. Teams have adjusted and are making that a priority, but especially from the ends they aren't affecting the game play in, play out like earlier in the year. If their D line mauls Clemson's Oline tomorrow, that will be a bad indicator of where Clemson is as a team.
They're very solid though. Wouldn't expect a lot of points from the Clemson offense in this one. High twenties would be a reasonable ceiling, I think, especially with how tight I'm guessing Clemson will be playing.
