So how good is our rushing attack? Is Saturday a real gauge?

I have been trying to find a site that will look at Team D stats and evaluate/adjust based on the opponent played. I ran across this interesting site: https://www.footballoutsiders.com/stats/ncaa
We hear NC State has not played anybody, but using the site below, it looks like NC State's opponents "rate" better for Offense and Defense vs Clemson's opponents.
So if Clemson has not really played any better teams with possible lone exception of Texas A&M:
- How good is our Rushing Attack when compared to the Defenses we have played?
- Same for NC State's Defense or Offense compared to the opponents they have played?
What are your thoughts? Any 538 statistical "wizards" out there?
I'm no statistical wizard, but I'd say our rushing attack

Is one of the best in the country. I have been watching highlights and it's a thing of beauty to see our OL get into run fits. #44 is one of my favorite players to watch. I'm hoping the coaches see the need to recruit more guys like him and not load up on glorified WRs at TE.
NC state has a RS FR starting at MLB. I expect to see at least a couple big ones through the A and B gaps. [Like Feaster last year]
Our stats have been amazing, I don't know if we've been close to these stats in the modern era before. It was amazing to see how much it improved when we inserted TL in the lineup.
