Our defense has to play Shafer Defense.  Our offense has to score and give the D a break.  Tahj Boyd and Co. are for real, they can score and will score.  We have to force them into bad situations and trust our DBs to shut down the receivers long enough for our front seven to beat Boyd into the ground or make bad decisions.  The problem is that Boyd is slippery and can run.  Defensively, we cannot beat Clemson if we tackle like we did in the first half of Tulane.  If we play traditional Shafer defense, we can slow the offense down enough to win.  NCState is the model on how to defend Clemson this season.

Their defense is not as much improved as they had hoped for or as is necessary for a top 5 team.  We need to keep progressing with McDonald's play calling and Hunt getting everyone and their brother involved.  Any defense can key in on a couple of good players but having 15 weapons on the field and rotating them in and out is hard to stop.
