. They seemed to integrate Watkins into the lineup just fine last week, as Hopkins had seven catches for 95 yards; and Watkins had four for 52. Clemson is averaging 517 yards on offense, and has run 239 total plays -- more than any team in the ACC. Meanwhile, the Seminoles lead the nation this week in five major defensive categories: scoring defense (1 ppg, having allowed only a field goal in three games), rushing defense (33.67 ypg), total defense (103.3 ypg), passing defense (69.67 ypg) and pass efficiency defense. Bjoern Werner leads the nation with 6.5 sacks and will be a huge challenge for this revamped Clemson offensive line to contain. Bottom line: Clemson has not faced anybody as good as Florida State's D, and Florida State has not faced anybody as good as Clemson's O. Let the chess match begin!
