It's going to be a heck of a game. If FSU holds Clemson to 30 or less, then they are one of the best D's in the country.

If FSU holds Clemson to less than 30 in Death Valley they're the best team in the nation, period. Clemson has gone through FSU's defense like shite through a goose since Morris arrived at Clemson. Last year in Doak we scored 37 with numerous missed opportunities.

Clemson's misdirection-oriented offense is stonecold kryptonite to FSU's insanely fast yet overly aggressive defense. Your secondary has also been somewhat overrated as yet and is moreso the product of a dominant defensive line. When given time to throw (which only a few teams have had, Clemson being one of them) we've had no problem finding open men.

The biggest key in this game is Clemson's OL versus FSU's DL. If we can give Boyd time, we'll win. FSU hasn't won in Death Valley in over a decade.

By the way, who is 1st in Total Offense in the ACC?

Who's played no one with a pulse? You came into last year's game and the year before that's with the best defenses of all-time that no on could move the ball on. Just like those years, you were overvalued based off playing no one.

Now having said that, these teams are extremely evenly matched. Both are the absolute cream of the crops in the ACC and even in the nation. With two evenly matched teams, it simply comes down to the fact that the game's in Death Valley not Doak Campbell.

I will say I'm really interested to see how we attack Famous. He hasn't seen a DL that could really get after the QB (which we have) but at the same time you can't really pin your ears back and tear after a mobile QB like you would a Mettenberger or he'll takeoff when you abandon your rush lanes.

Will be an awesome game for sure!
