Getting points, preferably a TD, on our first drive at BC would go a long way towards winning the game. Negate the crowd and make BC press early....could lead to some bad decisions and turnovers on their part. If we could just hit a couple of big plays in the first quarter, we could be off to the races. Fingers crossed....GO Tigers, Beat BC!!!
If we show up and play our C-Game we can beat BC but it would be a Dog Fight! If we play our B-game we win handily. If we show up playing our A-game we "Roll the Eagles"! If this were just "some game" I could see maybe a lapse in concentration and effort! But, it's a gameday game. It's for the division. It's an Orange Pants game. BC is ranked in the top 20. All of which means: "they have our attention"! Too bad for them! Unless some of the freshmen can't handle the environment; I expect us to win this rather easily.
**I know we struggled until the 4th qtr last year. But, could we threaten them vertically last year like we can now? No. Even w/offense struggling they only managed a TD. Be more of the same this year especially if Dillon is struggling with health issues. The QB is good and makes good decisions; but he will not have long to throw it! C.Wilkins may have the best game of his Clemson career Saturday! And you know he is going to have the rest of the DL hyped to play in his home state!
