Clemson Copycat Plays

Saban said at halftime during the title game last year that Clemson was running stuff on offense that they had never seen before.

You have to believe they will do the same thing against LSU, especially since they have more time to prepare this time around.

And defensively they're going to be studying the Auburn tape probably more than any other game. We racked up yards against Auburn, but couldn't convert in the red zone - and this is exactly how Ohio State ended up losing the game.

And we’ve done the same thing all year in big games. We will have new stuff for a Clemson to figure out as well. I don’t think Brady runs a scheme as much as he attacks your weakness.

Yeah gotta think the play bama ran against us faking like they gotplay from sideline and some other holes or tendency that we lean on and are our bread and butter and mess with what we do on offense and defense. We will see it. They are a great team but if we play like we can and play till whistle every play until end of game I think we can come back from any deficiency or keep any lead. Just have to play hard till the end

I’m worried about the speed of Etienne & Lawrence outside the tackle box especially on misdirection plays

Ah. Good point.

I’ll pass on the memo. Thanks

Imagine playing a schedule so weak that you could finish your regular season undefeated and not having to show % of your plays. I would expect Clemson has a pile of sandbagged plays/formations that they haven’t needed yet.

LSU has so many options out of each formation it is impossible to know what is coming, mainly because the defense itself calls out plays. Burrow processes information at an unreal level and his receivers understand how to read the coverage and run the correct choice routes to attack whatever the defense gives them. Only perfect technique and talent can limit this offense and nobody at the college level has enough of that to continually stop LSU.

So much has been made of Lawrence playing better in the second half of the season without looking at why. They have changed their passing attack from a deep pass with Higgins and Ross versus undersized DB's to a short pass YAC scheme similar to Alabama. They cannot afford to do that with Burrow scoring on 75% of his possessions. TL will be forced to throw downfield and force the ball which will allow Stingley opportunities for Interceptions.

If they go 3 and out twice to start the game this offense will limit their ability to use Etienne in the run game and then its lights out drop the confetti.

Anyone watching them last few games understands they will not push our D line around like they did the lighter 4 man front of OSU. Our LB'S will feast with no blockers getting to the second level.

Clemson is a very talented team who deserves respect but looking at it objectively you will see where they aren't the same unstoppable force as last year.
