I have no doubts we can move the ball. We need to work on scoring, but we move the ball as well as anyone in the nation and you better believe Dino's been saving some plays for Clemson (even though it drives me nuts we haven't fully opened the playbook imo).
I think theres one unit on our team that could give us a chance in this game and that's our linebackers. Clemson will have, potentially, fresh meat at QB. If Bennet/Thomas/Valdez/Franklin etc. can play their aces off for the full game and be the vets we know they are... who the hell knows what could happen in the dome. They gotta be everywhere. Helping Slayton stop the run. Keep the QB honest with Robinson. Drop into and be disruptive in coverage. This unit has no room for error against what I think is inarguably the best team in the nation.
We aren't the same team we've been since the ACC move.
Another big key that I have no worries about is Dino getting the team pumped up and ready/focused from first kickoff.
