GT's passing game has me a little concerned. Is that normal?

I think our DLine and Backers will do well against the run........I know they don't throw much......but it could get problematic.
I don't know......maybe I'm just tired

They are much better at throwing the ball this year than in past years, but I don't think their WRs are stellar or anything. Our DBs have looked pretty good against inferior competition this year, so I think they should be able to play ok against GT.
I'm worried about giving up some big runs. We seem to give up some big running plays every game, and GT knows how to run the ball well. PJ is a good coach, so I think his guys will be ready. I'm happy we have an extra week to prepare.

GT's defense is okay, but they've been helped by facing a

lot of really bad offenses. If you look at the scoring rank of each team they've played, you can see their defensive stats are greatly helped by their competition.
Elon- N/A (FCS)
Duke- 43rd
UNC- 86th
VT- 102nd
Miami- 33rd
BYU- 39th
Syracuse- 88th
Virginia- 104th
Pitt- 81st
They've played just 3 teams in the top 80 in scoring offense, and in those games they gave up just 14 points to Duke, but then 45 points to Georgia Tech and 38 points to BYU.

play ball control and put together long time consuming drives in order to keep the Clemson offense off the field as much as possible.

they lull the DB's to sleep running the ball so much and the DB have a tendency to start cheating-up closer and closer to the line of scrimmage in run support, then they pop you deep with an unexpected pass.

with some runs. For whatever reason that 2nd level has been completely missing on a number of huge TD plays that we've surrendered this season.
