[QUOTE="slugboy, post: 753136, member: 282"] Not much hope from the team over at Athlon. [URL='https://athlonsports.com/college-football/clemson-tigers-vs-georgia-tech-yellow-jackets-prediction-picks-2020']They pick Clemson 45- GT 13[/URL]. Last year, we saw that Trevor Lawrence could outrun our DBs. Etienne should be even faster. It'll be a trick to get a linebacker to catch Etienne in the backfield or stop him from eating up yards. Passing is just the icing on the cake, but Clemson puts up a ton of icing. Thacker will have to be at his best coaching in this game. I'm not even sure how we'll line up on defense. We're supposed to have a 4-2-5 base, but we've been lining up 3 DL a lot lately (I'll have to go and look at the last game and slow it down) This is from the [URL='https://www.espn.com/college-football/game/_/gameId/401234610']ESPN page for the game[/URL] (that's my citation, go look there for more info ;) ): [TABLE] [TR] [TH][HEADING=2]Team Stats[/HEADING][/TH] [TH][IMG]https://a.espncdn.com/combiner/i?img=/i/teamlogos/ncaa/500/228.png&h=100&w=100[/IMG][/TH] [TH][IMG]https://a.espncdn.com/combiner/i?img=/i/teamlogos/ncaa/500/59.png&h=100&w=100[/IMG][/TH] [/TR] [TR] [TD]Points Per Game[/TD] [TD]42.3[/TD] [TD]25.8[/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD]Points Allowed Per Game[/TD] [TD]13.3[/TD] [TD]31.5[/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD]Total Yards[/TD] [TD]495.5[/TD] [TD]453.0[/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD]Yards Passing[/TD] [TD]310.0[/TD] [TD]239.3[/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD]Yards Rushing[/TD] [TD]185.5[/TD] [TD]213.8[/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD]Yards Allowed[/TD] [TD]279.8[/TD] [TD]448.8[/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD]Pass Yards Allowed[/TD] [TD]190.0[/TD] [TD]259.5[/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD]Rush Yards Allowed[/TD] [TD]89.8[/TD] [TD]189.3[/TD] [/TR] [/TABLE] On paper, you have to think Clemson gets their 45 points, since we've been giving up an average of 32, and they're in a different league than any team we've played so far.
