We're going to need Shrader to be able to have a great throwing day. Another WR, or Tucker, will need to really excel in the passing game.

If we line up and try to punish them on the ground, they'll probably put up a stout defensive effort.

That's not where they are susceptible. We'll likely have to hit some big plays. Will definitely have to protect the ball and not have unforced penalties by the offense (meaning pre snap/at snap), and win specials.

IF we are to win this game, I'm not seeing it as a comeback, I'm seeing it as a first half where we're up like 17-3 and are up 1-0 in the TO battle (maybe they are gashing us on their first drive and Shipley fumbles or DJ tries to get cute and throws a bad pick) and the announcers are saying something like "Clemson should really be tied or up in this game, but Syracuse is up by two scores!", then the second half we do enough to hang on and end up winning like 24-17 or 27-24 with us closing the game on a killer INT thrown by DJ.

I do think their crowd will be out of it if the game starts falling all on DJ.

Our OL is ok. Not world beaters, not Bama or whatever, but they aren't bad. I think Shrader to Gadsen can hit a few times and I think Tucker in space and a few Cooper possession receptions early can make this feel like a fair fight vs an underdog story.
