Agree with a lot of that and you have to give Boyd one look and play another.   Confuse him and get him rattled or out of his zone/timing which is not going to be easy.  Need the front to put pressure on them in passing situations without blitz.  Can't miss tackles, grab the damn feet if you have too.  One big difference regarding Boyd and Bridgewater/Smith, he will take off.  What helped the Orange D was that those 2 stayed in the pocket more, Boyd won't do as much.

Offensively...execute.  Play hard to the whistle, catch balls that are thrown no matter where they are as long as you can get your hands on them.  Don't let the first guy tackle you, make them earn it.   Hunt can't be too amped up...calm down and play your game.

Team wise, don't get rattled.  The crowd will be hit too (quiet) when they score and the players have to stay focused on the big picture, not the moment.  They are going to score, counter punch and don't give them any TD's, a FG once in a while instead of a TD may make a ll the difference in this game.    Gunna be tough, but nothing special is ever easy.   Clemson is going to want to take our crowd away from the team and make the fans a non factor, we can not let them do that just as we expect SU to fight hard, we as a crowd have to as well.   Every time Clemson has the ball we have to be loud as hell.
