I understand we don't like them (of course) and we don't want to sing their praises or show weakness, but we also can't be willfully ignorant or delusional. We've got to be realistic about what we've seen. The cold hard truth is that the coots look very threatening right now at the very least. Their defense is one of the best in the country. Offensively, Sellers and Sanders are both potent running the ball, and it's a challenge for defenses to keep them both in check. Their passing game has been much more inconsistent. Overall, their receivers are very big and fast, but they aren't the shiftiest, and their route-running and ball-catching are not elite. When Sellers can connect with them, they've certainly had their moments this season. Sellers has talent, but he's had his own problems with decision making. I'm not saying Clemson can't win, especially at home, but this is absolutely going to be a major challenge. Really, when you consider some of Clemson's inconsistencies, I think it makes it a difficult game to project. How effective can the Tigers offense be against that defense? Will we get Louisville Clemson or will we get App State Clemson? Will we get the good or the bad version of Sellers and the SCar passing offense? I think those questions are going to determine who wins the game, but either way, right now I think it's fair to say it's looking like a big-time matchup if we're being objective.
