Been thinking about this game so, I rewatched last year's game again for the umpteenth time. (We won!)
This game has some interesting aspects unique to this game. After all, it is not often that they lose.
Reportedly, Clemson has been playing last year's game on a continuous loop in the weight room.
Here is some food for thought.
Sometimes, a team can get too charged up and makes many errors of aggression. Coordinators create game plans to use that aggression against them. Screens, draws, counters, quick game etc.
Clemson QB play is not as strong as we have played in the past (Deshaun Watson or Tajh Boyd).
Our guys know they can play with Clemson. This is big as the intimidation factor is gone. Yes, the environment is difficult but we have guys who gave been through it before.
Our D has had another year under the system and should be more comfortable. I will probably get Crap for this next one but our secondary is more talented than in years past younger, yes, but more talent.
The DLine seems to be coming together and has experience against the Tigers.
We are going to be a big underdog, which our guys will not like. They will probably feel disrespected.
Could be a good game.
LGO!
