[QUOTE="Techster, post: 823498, member: 360"] Brent Key will earn his money on this one. If we can run the ball against Clemson and burn some clock, it will give Clemson less opportunities. I want to see Kirby and Cochrane in at the same time provided Kirby is healthy. We have the RBs (Power = Mason, All Purpose = Gibbs, Smith) to do damage against Clemson, but our OL will need to play a stellar game to give our RBs opportunities to do their jobs. Passing-wise, we have to pick our spots. It's going to be interesting to see who starts at QB. I personally want to see us ride the hot hand in Yates. He's earned it. Carter and McGowin can make plays against Clemson, but will our QB have enough time to find them? Kind of a double edge sword if our QB has some success running the ball because it will bring an extra defender into the box and clog up running lanes for our WRs. Nothing against our WRs, but I do feel like Clemson will be able to go single coverage across the board on us and afford to bring an extra man into the box...much like what they did over the years against CPJ's offenses. On defense, Clemson had their "KSU game" to find confidence. We can't take much away from the UGA game because UGA has a top defense. Our defense, unfortunately, is not of that class yet. We've got to find a way for our DEs and LBs to put pressure on Clemson's QB. Our secondary will need to have a stellar game...but I'm nervous that we've regressed in the defensive backfield. I hope they prove me wrong. I'm rotating my 300+ lb DTs and telling them don't worry about getting to the passer...let the DEs and LBs do that. Just mind the gaps and conserve energy. Clemson is big mountain to climb. I think we can make it competitive because I don't think Clemson's offense has clicked yet...so in that regard I think getting them early is a good thing. If our run game and pass defense hold up, this can be a more competitive game than the 29 point underdog status tells us. We'll see. CGC and our staff have an opportunity to erase the NIU game with a good game here. If we lose, and we give Clemson all they can handle, I'll accept that and feel better about our season. However, if this game starts getting away from us because of undisciplined play, broken assignments, and questionable coaching decisions, well...it won't be a fun post game at least for me. [/QUOTE]
