Question? Could Clemson be holding back anything?

I know Dabo is a genius but holding back is a bit hard to believe. Don't get me wrong I still think we kick the every loving moccasin crap out of them but just can't see us holding back in earlier games. If Dabo has been holding back so FSU wouldn't have game film, he is 3 steps ahead of any coach. I like the thought of it but still not sure if I can believe it. Whats your take?

So I imagine there is plenty right there. At least let's hope so!

I don't think it's "holding back", as much as it's

game preparation...
For example, we'll probably give some looks defensively that we haven't had to show the first 3 games.
I know people don't agree... but I think BV has been baiting FSU. I think he has them right where he wants them. That doesn't mean we're gonna dominate them or anything.
But I think it does mean that we will give them enough trouble with some different looks that we can outscore them.

I hope that Coach Venables has a strong defensive plan, but to be honest he will need to make some personnel changes to have success. I think Brewer, Wright(Hawkins), and Christian will struggle greatly if they are given too much playing time. I really hope that Hall, Townsend, Steward, and Blanks can make a difference with their speed and aggressiveness. These guys need to play extensively.

And while its certainly possible, just remember that FSU has played Murray State, Savannah State and blew out Wake. I'd imagine they were in a pretty good position to 'hold back' some stuff as well

Auburn because he didn't have to. To quote Samuel L jackson: Clemson playing dat running the ball straight up yo ### and nuthin you can do about it game. " He hasn't had to show his hand. I also, expect Venables to show a lot more blitz packages and pressure from the LBs, Blanks, and the edges. I Expect Vic Beasley to have a bigger role. We'll show our hand on both sides of the ball tomorrow. This game has BIG implications !
