can they handle the backs & ends coming out of the backfield? Can they handle the crossing routes of the receivers?


No. But, no one can. You guys will have a lot of success with that. Where LSU will beat you is that one pass will be intercepted after being deflected at the LOS and another after bouncing off a receiver's hands. Also, your QB will fumble once when sacked. At the end of the game you'll say, "We owned LSU. I can't believe we lost by ten points. If it wasn't for those three turnovers, that big kick return, and those missed tackles, we'd have won easily." And we'll say, "Dude, Clemson is the eighth team in the last two years to say this same stuff."

I think this is a legitimate concern. Both of your DE's are big and good at tipping passes. Hopefully there are some throwing lanes in the middle or through designed pocket movement.
