Does Clemson have any receivers we can not match up with?

It certainly helped not having to defend our best WR the entire first half.

Notice when he came back after half we averaged over 7 yards a play. He didn’t have a huge impact directly but obviously his presence on the field opened up other stuff.

Tee Higgins is legit. I’ve seen him make some ridiculous catches on the sideline that looked impossible. But Clemson can’t do that every play.

'No'

I agree that Etienne is the biggest threat.

Okudah should have won the Thorpe over Delpit. That said, Stingley and Fulton are by far the best CB tandem in the country. Hell, Stingley should have won the Thorpe before Delpit.

And, I'm not bashing Delpit. He is healthy now, and with the emergence of true frosh Hampton to play on the back end, Delpit can play closer to the line and be his usual disruptive self again. He had a really solid game against Hurts.

The real question is how deep does your coverage go if we line up in 5 wide or empty backfield?

very well for us. Flott has been very solid. Vincent was abused early in the season but he has been solid lately, especially at safety. We have plenty of dbs. As said, you will have problems covering all of our weapons. We are deep and our players are very complimentary, several wrs, good tes, good rbs.

Geezus, are you Bucknuts soooo insecure that you havce to get on the boards of the winners to contibue to whine about how great your football team is ??

That's why they play the game - so the talking can be over - It's over. TL's 260 yards passing was enough to send y'all on home - so go on home and whine to your mother.

I understand they have height but who is faster than our DBs? Can't we single cover any of them?

If you don't know who Tee Higgins is, you simply don't follow college football

Clemson has talent.
They are not in the finals because they do not.

PRESSURE on Lawrence will play a big part and Etienne will be trying to prove a point which I do not understand since he did not want LSU.

Both of our corners are great at covering boundary routes. Fulton is competitive on inside routes, too, but Stingley is not (don't freak out about that [true] statement -- it is not a knock on Stingley as he is still developing a complete game). Vincent is hot/cold, as everybody knows. He'll win one play and then get absolutely burned on the next. Delpit and Hampton can cover. Stevens really shouldn't be matched up with a WR at all.

If Clemson is smart, they will attack the middle of the field with Higgins and Ross, rather than the sideline. This would be a departure from what they've done all year. They should target Stingley on inside slants and crossing routes, and they should target Vincent and Stevens in the slot. If they resort to heaving the ball down the sidelines, which is what they have done all year, they are playing to our strength. Those are 50-50 balls and our guys have proven more than capable of winning those battles.
