My over/under at 9.5 for sacks vs FSU

After watching the first half of the NC State- FSU game I am not worried about an upset. NC State got 4 sacks in the first half (I am not masochistic enough to watch the whole thing, it was 2 lousy teams playing). If we get up by 3 scores and FSU has to stop running the ball it could easily be over on the sacks because of the additional passing attempts. I don't think o-line problems can be solved over the bye week.
I can see Cam Akers busting a couple of 20+ yard runs, but with the FSU o-line I don't see over 2 sustained drives. No turnovers and the Tigers will win big.

of wheel routes to the RB out of the backfield until we learn how to defend and stop it.

Akers will play a huge role in this game. FSU, as any

underdog, will look to shorten the game. This means running the ball a lot, which should be one of their relative strengths anyway, with a good back like Akers. Since I am a great Interwebby coach, I would have Simmons shadowing him all over the field, to negate his effectiveness.

I'm not nearly as concerned about the Clemson defense...

as a I am about this funk the Clemson offense seems to be in.
Stop reading all the articles about how great you're supposed to be and just go play.

I looked just now. We had 3. 1 from Simmons and 2 from DT's. Our DE's need to step it up.

Under.
I can't imagine a more porous offensive line than Syracuse and we still went under 9.5 in that one.

Maybe 6 if we get a couple score lead, but I could see 2 or 3 if it's a tight game.
We will have to shut down the run and score some early points on offense to have a shot to start getting after the QB even close to what we did against Cuse.

Under.
I'd be concerned with us stopping Cam Akers. 3-2-6 or 3-3-5 is tough to stop the run consistently.
