I’m curious to see what Clemson has been saving as well. Against Virginia it seemed like our UAB game nothing too flashy just enough to eventually win and pour on some points. No way the offense looks like that on Saturday

Xavier Thomas and Tyler Davis are the center point of that defense. Those two together is a world of difference and Will be a problem.

Lol nah. Thomas has been a bust thus far and hasnt even played this year. We will see Davis on Saturday but they will probably be easing him in and I don’t expect him to play “normal” minutes. RUN THE PILL.

Me too, there's been a lot of talk about the Clemson offense amongst the locals
Lots of people think the lone OC isn't as creative without Scott.

I have been saying for weeks that Corey Gainer needs put on his big boy pants for the Clemson game or its gonna be ugly both passing and running because tyler Davis is a beast in the middle.

Go Canes

If cam has 100 on the ground. King has 100 on the ground and the combo of Chaney and rooster have 100 on the ground we win. Lot to ask for I know but I think that is the recipe. Keep sunshine off the field. I don’t think we can go toe to toe on a true shootout. Nor do I think we will go big 12 style on this defense
 
Guy is a great DC and worth every penny. Hopefully Lashlee is looking at the LSU film and can pick up some plays from that game that they can incorporate into the game plan this Saturday. At some point in that game, they broke Clemson's spirit. Burrows is a great QB but King can make some of those plays and offensively we have the playmakers. I also think playing in front of the Louisville crowd will prepare Miami for the crowd at Clemson. If we don't turn the ball over, this is going to be a **** of a game.

I dont think we can do what LSU did in their game, they had NFL WR who could beat a 1st round Corner repeatedly.. We dont have that, I think if there is a game w can pull from is OSU, they moved ball up and down field but couldnt score in redzone.. Jk dobbins was able to hit some big runs before getting injured, I think Cam can do some of the same things.. Fields was hitting passes too.. I think that film is better, also if you watch highlights you can see just how good Lawrence and Etienne are, they put the team on their back when needed..

I’m not buying nothing from Clemsons mouth. They plan on blowing our *** out and they feel confident they can.

To do so, you say the right things and you prepare your players to a T. There is a reason this dude makes the $$$ he does, and it isn’t by underestimating teams.

Yep, you don't say anything that can go up on your opponent's bulletin board

I forgot how close this game actually was to becoming a blow out. OSU had them on the ropes but that targeting call changed everything. We don't have the CB's that OSU has like Arnett and Okudah but I still think we can hang with Ladson and others. However, ETN is a **** problem. He went HAM in this game and said we not losing. Lawrence was good also but ETN turned all the way up. I am interested to see how Diaz and Baker try to slow him down

I think we'll lose (here come the down votes), but I'm curious to see if we've seen everything Clemson has this season, or whether they've been holding back.

If they've just been spinning their wheels trying to get up to speed then they'll be playing Alabama for the National Title.

Yea, OSU really controlled the game and Clemson was bailed out by fumble call also. Etienne put the team on his freakin back, he has been my key to the game, kid really should be collecting checks in NFL, I dont know how Clemson gets these guys to come back and we have players sitting out after only 6 starts..

OSU had great gameplan but its a easy when you have TWO first round corners (good thing our defense doesnt value cover corners when we are in spread revolution and everybody else is stock piling them who are top teams Bama, LSU, OSU, UGA, etc.) to take away outside wr and limit their O. Former DC talks about it here:

As Ohio State prepared to play Clemson in the College Football Playoff semifinal at the Fiesta Bowl, co-defensive coordinator and secondary coach Jeff Hafley didn’t think the Buckeyes would have to worry too much about Trevor Lawrence running the ball.


During an appearance on ESPN2’s Film Room special on Monday evening previewing the national championship game between Clemson and LSU, Hafley said Ohio State’s coaches had found in their film study that Clemson rarely ran designed quarterback run plays, so it wasn’t a big area of emphasis in the Buckeyes’ defensive game planning.


“I literally was sitting in my office when I was at Ohio State, I called down one of the quality control guys and said, ‘Hey, how much designed quarterback run game do they have from Trevor Lawrence?’ I mean just true quarterback run game, true zone read, quarterback power, quarterback counter. And he came back with like 15 snaps,” said Hafley, who is now the head coach at Boston College. “So at that point, you’re like, ‘All right, good. You don’t spend too much time on it. That’s the course of the whole season, right?’ Now we knew he could scramble, we knew we’d have to take care of that. And all of a sudden we get into our game and it turns into a big quarterback run game.”


Lawrence ended up running the ball 16 times for 107 yards – both career-highs for his two seasons at Clemson – including a 67-yard touchdown run that ultimately propelled Clemson to a 29-23 victory over Ohio State that ended the Buckeyes’ season

Hafley admitted he was surprised that Lawrence had the speed to run by Ohio State’s linebackers and defensive backs.
“I think everybody knew he was fast and could scramble, but I don’t think anybody saw how fast he was,” Hafley said. “(On the 67-yard touchdown run), this is when I said, ‘Oh boy, this guy can go.’ Because those are fast players he’s outrunning right there.

On the touchdown run in particular, Hafley said he was mad at himself because Ohio State set the defensive front wrong, allowing Lawrence to get an open running lane up the middle. He also said, though, that his safeties Josh Proctor and Jordan Fuller ultimately should have been able to make the play, which they did not as Lawrence made both of them miss.
“We called a pressure here, just tendency, trying to give them different looks, trying to get some pressure, we thought they were going to throw the football, we set the front wrong – we should be looping right into this,” Hafley said. “Now all that being said, if you let it go right here, the safety’s gotta show up. (Fuller)’s gotta leverage the football and keep this inside and funnel it to him. Because we still should have made the tackle. That’s right there, between (Proctor) and (Fuller), they gotta cup this thing and contain it. They gotta send it to each other and trap it to each other.”
Going into the game, Hafley said Ohio State’s game plan was to stop the run and take away Clemson’s outside receivers, and he thinks the Buckeyes did a good job with that. They held Clemson running back Travis Etienne to just 36 rushing yards on 10 carries, wide receiver Tee Higgins to 33 yards on four catches and wide receiver Justyn Ross to 47 yards on six catches.
Clemson adjusted, though, by using the quarterback run game more than it had all season, which forced the Buckeyes to change their defense and ultimately helped open up the big plays the Tigers hit down the stretch, like Lawrence’s 38-yard pass to Amari Rodgers and subsequent jump pass to Etienne that went for the 34-yard game-winning touchdown.
“We were going to stop the run, and we were going to force him to throw the ball outside. That guy right there, we were gonna say, ‘You are not throwing the ball in between those hashes, numbers to numbers, with that middle safety where you have him,’” Hafley said. “Because we felt good about those two outside corners (Jeff Okudah and Damon Arnette). Now when the quarterback run game starts to show up, if you want to play an eight-man front, you better get that middle safety down. Because now he’s the extra guy to stop the quarterback. You start doing that too much, now you’re opening up those posts and the deep balls, so now it’s which one do you want to defend?”

Stopping the quarterback run had quietly been an issue for Ohio State’s defense against less athletic quarterbacks previously in the season, so that will be an area the Buckeyes need to shore up for 2020. Hafley’s replacement at Ohio State, and the rest of the Buckeyes’ defensive coaches, will be the ones tasked with making sure that happens. But even though Hafley is now coaching for the Buckeyes himself, he said it still hurt to watch the plays that got away from his former Ohio State defense on Monday.
“You’re bringing up a really bad memory,” Hafley said as ESPN host Tom Luginbill showed a clip of one of Lawrence’s runs. “I thought I was over this. You’re throwing salt on an open wound right now.”
