Same, it’s been obvious in several of their games now, not just LSU. UNC ran it down their throats and even Cal was having some success until Mohamed got hurt.
This is a Mali game if there ever was one….Allen loooves to play man and they have a lot of (justified) confidence in their corners. I’m sure they’ll try to bracket him SOME, but he’s also going to get some 1v1 opportunities that can result in some huge plays. And it won’t take THAT many when Clemson’s offense is going to have a **** of a time trying to keep up.
Clemson will be running the ball all game to try to shorten it and screen/slant/ Reynolds scramble their way to first downs. Might frustrate us at times but I trust our run D.
Expect some penalty shenanigans from the officials , probably multiple trick plays from Clemson in the 1st half, and Mensah may have to settle for checkdowns more than we’d like on some plays since Barkate can be iffy against press man.
My other concerns are STs and obviously the OL holding up.
But I think we’ll be able to run on them, and could see us leaning on it to close the game out.
