NCST experienced front 7...am I missing something?

So I keep reading about how their front 7 are all seniors and how amazing and great they are. After watching them, the only standout I see is Bradley Chubb. I know he's a top ten pick, but I don't quite see the hype around their defense as a whole. Am I missing something?
I feel like we should be able to expose them with our inside run game. Thoughts on what you guys think will be the most effective against them Saturday night?

We just need to be able to handle Chubb. No doubt Hyatt can do that. The real question is what happens when they move Chubb to the other side and Pollard or Anchrum have to block him. They are the keys to the game imo

Agreed, Chubb is key

Yeah I feel the same way. You know they are gonna try and mix things up and confuse us. I do like Pollard more against Chubb because his size. Chubb will make plays, but not many if Hyatt's on him all night.

Isn't Chubb the guy that frequently moves to the other

side of the line to get matchups with RTs? It's possible I'm thinking of the wrong game and a different team, but i know somebody was doing that with their standout DE.

Their depth on the d-line took a hit this past weekend too, 2 of them including one of their 300+ DT got hurt and was seen on crutches after the game. The rotation and depth should be a lil thin this weekend, if we can rack up the total plays and wear them down we should be able to put them away. Need to stay aggressive with the play calling and not rip the play out the playbook if it works to well. Like the TE B-line route over the middle that's 2-2 with 2 TD's this season.

Good point, we also should go up tempo...

It seems like whenever we go up tempo we drive down the field and score. Id love to see us wear out the NCST front 7

State brought the "lumber" to us last year in The Valley. We better be prepared for more of the same.

Clemson was its own worst enemy in that game...

Eliminate the turnovers and Clemson wins that game by three TD's.

I expect the same. They'll be "chippy."

Late-ish hits. Hits out of bounds. Targeting-but-not-really-because-it-wasn't-called. Trying to bait us into personal fouls. This is what they excuse as "being physical."
BS. They're garbage.

I expect us not to block Chubb

and just option off of him a good deal of the time. Don't let their best player beat you.

That can be dangerous against elite DEs.***
