Clemson is an absolutely terrifying matchup for OSU; OSU runs so much zone read which is predicated on getting to the boundary a lot; Clemson has absurd athleticism on the front 7 which will probably take a lot of it away. Further, even if Fields is healthy, he holds the ball a long time and the offensive line has been awful at pass protection against delayed blitzes and DL stuns; again, this will be even more pronounced with absurd athleticism up front.
Further, Cephus was wrecking our secondary albeit without Okudah but Clemson has two of the best receivers in the country. Higgins is out of control and Justyn (can’t remember his last name) is basically another Cephus but I’m glad Wade has time to get well. This is without even mentioning Etienne dude.
“No shot against us” is just a riduculous sentiment; everyone says OSU is the best team Clemson will have faced, but the inverse is profoundly true.
If we have a lackluster or just downright awful start like we did against Wisconsin, I’d bet my balls Clemson shuts the door and this turns into 2006 real quick.
