Let's just run it off tackle.

Line: down block.

QB: hand off and block backside rush. :p

RB: find lane and get north south.

Team O: chew clock and pancake.

Team D: wrap up, smash mouths.

Next.

:)

It seems to me that the Clemson fan base believes that their OLine isn't that good and their RB IS good but has to do too much work just dodging penetrating rushers. They REALLY count on the great QB who had a so-so game vs Louisville. They believe that the WR they lost left them without a true deep threat. And that some shifting of players around caused somewhat of a quality slump in the other WR positions.

On the other hand, they think that they have two of the best DBs in the country, and maybe the best linebacker. They are not as high on their DLine, but claim to be pleasantly surprised by its play vs Louisville.

I think that they are very nervous about this game, and are debating whether ND or FSU is their biggest test.

Yeah...I'm not sold on their Oline. BVG needs to ensure our D is in position to be disruptive.

So uncool to put up a gif of.... He Who Got Away.

Are you the guy who puts his finger in the salt shaker right after he gets a paper cut?

He is my favorite Fullback College or NFL

. I can't imagine having him on the 91-95 ND teams. My Lord.

They're manufacturing slights to get themselves up for the game. Props to them, if it works. Seems like amateur hour, but that's Clemson for you. I'd be worried if we somehow move to be the favorite heading into the game, because that would be some actual bulletin board material.

Going to be hard to fire up the whole team over "did you see those purple face with horns emoticons!?!?" and "KVR said DeShaun Watson is good but probably not the best he's played... OMG!"

Still, I wish our guys kept their mouths completely shut. No doubt Clemson was going to be hyped for the game no matter what, but every little bit might matter.

It Never benefits you to talk first...it rarely benefits you to talk at all.

getting in someone's head takes experience and timing, and oddly very few words...and before the game is NEVER time.

From a Clemson writer I assume.

Since Notre Dame last came to Clemson in 1977, Clemson has more wins, more bowl wins, more Top 25 seasons and more 10 win seasons.

I'm willing to bet from 1978 through the mid 90s that this is not true. I'm not impressed that Clemson was able to surpass the mighty trio of Bob Davie, Ty Willingham, and Charlie Weis.
