If 1 key in winning the game on Saturday...

I predict a Clemson win on Saturday. The 1 key to success (in my opinion) is QB pressure:
Can Clemson's O-line protect Klubnik enough to allow him to be somewhat comfortable? If the DE for FSU are untouched, this could be a long day. If blitzing frequently, make FSU pay.
Can Clemson's defense put pressure (and contain) Travis? Make him uncomfortable and make him make mistakes?
(Thinking of the Tua vs Lawrence matchup in NC game as I'm typing)

That's like comparing Lena Dunham to Margot Robbie.

haha. Not comparing the "game." Just the success that we had in how Clemson set the tone right away with a pick 6. Tua didn't look the Tua that played the entire season by the pressure that we put on him - was confused majority of game. Clemson rattled him. Need that rattle Travis (make him uncomfortable) in order to beat FSU.

Can’t turn the ball over 3 times and expect the defense to save the offense. It would be nice to out score someone rather than have the defense always trying to save the day

Offense has put the defense on a short field all 3 games.......they have to protect the football better if we are to have a chance to beat FSU.

BC seemed to have sucess getting the ball outside and wearing down that D-line. Make them run early so they can't run late.

It’s simple .. no turnovers, don’t let their QB scramble for long runs and our D play with fire.

Watch for Coach Riley to earn his pay Saturday.

This:
"Can Clemson's O-line protect Klubnik enough to allow him to be somewhat comfortable? If the DE for FSU are untouched, this could be a long day."
Cade is not comfortable (yet) in the pocket/setting his feet, etc. - likely due to 1) suspect protection and 2) average receivers. He has shown shaking decision making when under pressure, having to move out of the pocket (to run or throw).
IMO, run, run, run and run some more. Eat clock and keep the score in the 20s w/ a close W.
