Recruits predict Clemson's big game at Texas A&M |
Many recruits dream of playing in primetime matchups in front of 102,000 fans and with ESPN GameDay on hand, and with Clemson and Texas A&M squaring off Saturday night all eyes will be on College Station.
How will Clemson’s offense respond to the noise of a hostile crowd? Can Clemson’s defense live up to the expectations placed upon them by fans and the media? Recruits from around the country weigh in on how they think Saturday’s ACC-SEC matchup will unfold. Clemson offensive line commit Hunter Rayburn said he thinks the game will be won in the trenches. “Just offensively being able to control the line of scrimmage. If you can control the line of scrimmage it opens up the rest of your offense,” Rayburn told TigerNet Thursday evening. “If Clemson controls the line of scrimmage offensively, their offense opens up. If Clemson controls the line of scrimmage defensively, A&M's offense never gets going. Just making A&M one-dimensional is the key for Clemson on defense. Being able to run the ball is huge on offense.” HOW TO WATCH When: 7 p.m. Saturday Where: Kyle Field, College Station, Texas TV: ESPN Radio: 105.5 WCCP-FM, 97.7 ESPN Upstate, Sirius 135; XM 193, Internet 955 Spread: Clemson by 12 RECRUIT PREDICTIONS 2020 QB target D.J.
