Other analyses I've seen indicate Clemson is vulnerable to an
underneath passing game. Look for possibly big games from McNeil,
Young, and Lucky if Clemson continues to play that way. (Ganz might
have a good night running the ball on occasion, too, if the underneath
area is generally undefended...)

Defensively, I'm hoping our DL continues to play as they have, and
that Dillard is 100% back from his injury. Playing a non-spread team
will be a refreshing change for him and he'll get to play like a true
MLB ... straight ahead! I don't expect a lot of nickel in this game,
which is good since I think our secondary is probably the weakest of
the three units.

I also think we have an ST edge in FG kicking and kick returning.
