No news is generally good news in the lead up to the game.
That said, in terms of strategy:
Ohio State lost to Dabo Swinney under Urban Meyer a couple of years ago.
I don't know what Urban's record in rematches coming off a loss, but it's pretty fucking good.
My belief is they'll let the aggressiveness of Clemson's DL make the designed runs for JT essential to taking pressure off.
The offensive line had four weeks to prepare and take their game to the next level to stop these guys, all four of whom could be playing on Sundays.
Key to the game is where Clemson's DLine ends up in the run game, if they're a yard deep in the backfield OSU will struggle to run the football and puts pressure on a passing game that has been nothing if not inconsistent.
My hope is that the Clemson DL gets all this publicity and our DL takes it personally and plays with a nastiness. We have the horses, and we have the depth.
Are there any matchups that anyone is looking at in particular? Like I noticed that this Clemson WR Williams is apparently going top 10 in the draft. He has 1 touchdown against AP ranked teams this year... We have Lattimore at CB and Hooker to help out.
Anything else sticking out?
