Miami will win if we..

[ajkreider]

are +2 in turnovers

 

[Madabs]

Score 28 points or more and convert 50%+ on third down.

King has to throw for 250 and run for 100

Agreed! Can almost guarantee Clemson is going to play Man Coverage across the board. Our receivers are going to have to put up or shut up in those one-on-one battles. King is also going to have to be deadly accurate.

With that said, I think both will happen.

Also if they commit to man press all game that means king is going to have chances to kill them with his legs since the defenders in the secondary will have there backs turned to him.

Honestly, this may seem simple, but we win if:

- Pope doesn't fumble/muff
- 3/9/16 are kept relatively in check meaning no big plays from them

 

[NicKane]

Kidnap Lawrence!

Tackle and limit the big plays by Clemson offense. Complete those deep passes we’ve been missin on

Honestly, this may seem simple, but we win if:

- 3/9/16 are kept relatively in check meaning no big plays from them

If Pope does this that’s a good sign because that means baker forced a punt by their offense

 

[The Sphinx]

Play aggressive, loose and most importantly - attack, attack and attack! If we come out tight, timid and conservative, they will destroy us.

We have absolutely nothing to lose. The pressure is all on them, so make them feel it.

Lashlee should throw everything and the kitchen sink at those guys. I wouldn't hold a **** thing back at all.

Let’s kick their *** and make them opt out and hit the portal

Keys to the game:

1. Eliminate yards after contact and yards after the catch. The reason they are so hard to stop is because they have the athletes to exploit one on one matchups. If you miss a tackle, that's a 30 yard play. They will get guys open in the passing game. We need to get those guys on the ground immediately.

2. Do NOT give Lawrence time to go through his progressions. We need to keep constant pressure on him, flush him from the pocket on every drop back and take away the outlet (Etienne). If he makes a 30 yard pass downfield on the run, then so be it. Make him do that all game. If he takes off running, so be it. Make him go head to head with our safeties again and again. I guarantee you our safeties will make him pay.

3. Win the field position battle. Let's face it, they're gonna score. Nobody stops them. We need to make them earn every point by forcing them to drive the length of the field. The more plays they run, the more opportunities our defense has at making a havoc play.

4. Keep the pressure on them by maintaining the tempo/momentum and scoring every time we cross midfield. We're not gonna score on every possession, but we need to make our opportunities count. Field goals will not win us the game but we have to make sure we don't miss field goals. The worst thing we can do is come away empty on a scoring opportunity. Missing a FG from the 40 yard line is like handing them the ball in scoring position. They will take the advantage, and once they do that it's ballgame.
