After all, these might be the two best teams in the country and they get to go head-to-head in a semifinal. According to ESPN college football analyst Kirk Herbstreit, the matchup to watch is Ohio St.’s secondary against the Tigers’ wide receiving corps. Full Story » |

I like Kirk a lot but it doesn’t take a football genius to make that observation. Teams have been trying to do that all year. If OSU can figure out a way to play 13 guys they will have a chance!

This is half of the breakdown

He only details our O vs their D.
I’m more interested in what he thinks they will do on O.
Maybe he doesn’t even want to guess at what CVB is gonna come up with for the Buck-holes.

With Herbstreit being a pretty FB analyst with his sons as members of the Clemson FB team, I'm sure Herbstreit has watched more Clemson FB than any other sports analyst in D-1 Power 5 FB. And from his analyses, I'm sure that his aluni FB coaches are paying a lot of attention to what Herbstreit has to say about Clemson, as he knows more about Clemson FB than any of them have had time to learn about the Xs and Os Clemson FB!!!

I sure wish we would have played some football teams this year so we'd be prepared for this juggernaut out of Columbus .
Man , we're just glad to have the opportunity to see where we measure up with a team like that who's played ?? against great competition week in and week out while we've just been knocking over sleepy toddlers down here in the ACC .
What a great lesson this will be for Clemson .

outlook. I always get the heebie-geebies when we act so confident. But at the end of the day who cares if fans are confident. As long at the team is dialed in and respects their opponent I'm fine. I don't see the cockiness (sorry) this year yet that i saw in N.O. two years ago. We were waaaay too loose. I saw that #### whuppin coming from miles away. If i see players practicing their dance moves during practice next week, we are in for a rude awakening.

over confident. I'm guessing it was at least a couple of years ago.

Well the scenario Herbie describes is not that much different for us. We are going to have stop Dobbs and that big O line, while containing Fields from scrambling.
Doing this will require more focus upfront (one safety). And their receivers are no slouches either.

My only concern is pressure from our D-line. That is a must. Davis needs to be at his best. Then our blitzes have to make it in time.
I think we win 38-28. And if we score over 30 on OSU. LSU better pay attention because we will make them look like one of those ACC teams all the talking heads keep buzzing about.
