[QUOTE="Techster, post: 973347, member: 360"] Up to now, the best defense we've played against was Miami (#25 DFEI). We STRUGGLED offensively against them. King didn't have a good game up until the last drive, and none of our RBs had more than 33 yds rushing (King led us in rushing with 46 yds). That said, we can all agree this GT team is different than the team that barely got out of Coral Gables a month ago. After our game against UVA, our OFEI rose to #28. I said it in the UVA thread, but I think GT has a top 20 offense. The offense of the last two weeks is VERY close to being elite. If you've been paying attention, our game plan has been to wear out the opponent's front 7. Those screen passes that sometimes only go for few yards or no gain? Well, those front 7 guys still need to sprint out 20-30 yards to help out of or make the tackle. Over the entirety of the game, those long runs the front 7 have to make going east to west takes a toll. This is why our running game has been so effective late in 3rd and in the 4th quarters. I also like that we are selectively using King as a weapon. Key, tipping his hat to Paul Johnson, talked about mixing in some option schemes with a modern twist. It's not easy defending us right now, and sometimes the best defense is for our offense to become aggressive...not just on the field, but in schematically. Clemson will be the toughest defense we've played all season. It will be their strength (defense), versus our strength (offense). These are the kind of matchups you enjoy as a sports fan. [/QUOTE]
