[QUOTE="Deleted member 2897, post: 616363"] Well here is the good news (I think we'll do better than we usually do), which is bad news (because its still a big hill to climb). The average score over the last 4 years is Clemson 36, Georgia Tech 16. That however, hides a bit of what the games were actually like. The average halftime score was Clemson 26, Georgia Tech 5. So the average final margin was already in place at half time. This means Clemson starts rotating players and takes their foot off the gas a bit. So you should definitely take Georgia Tech to cover the spread. 36 points? Our average total yards is 197 yards. That is nasty bad. The single most total yards we've had in the last 4 games is 230. The low is 124. So really, it wouldn't take much for us to play better than we usually do. I actually expect that. Clemson still has a ton of weapons. We can't get down 20 points in the first half again. We have to attack. We have to bring numbers advantages to 1 part of the line or the other with blitzes and make Lawrence get rid of the ball 1 way or the other quickly. Then we have to make tackles. Really the only wildcard I'm worried about is the poise of Lucas Johnson. He's spent 3 years waiting for this moment, so he's got to stay calm in the middle of what will undoubtedly be a tornado. Its going to be hard and to suck. You can't let that get to you. I expect lots of roll outs, read options, and close passes/screens to the TEs and RBs. Those are easiest to do and will help build confidence. I also suspect thats what Clemson defense will try and shut down - leave their CBs on an island and put everyone else up tight and bring the kitchen sink. [/QUOTE]
