Neither team quit as good as last year. Maybe true. Fewer games may favor Clemson. W play lots of young playrs and have got them playing well. Fewer gams have not allowed Oh St to develop much depth and even the starts hav suffered from lack of work. Now they know nothing more than the rest of us but it was refreshing considering they usually act like we are unworthy and something they found on their shoe.
I watched parts of OSU against Indiana, Northwestern and Penn State. They definitely did not look as good as last year. On paper, losing Higgins, Ross,Terrell, Simmons and a number off the O-Line would look like we would not be as good. However, the front four is so much more dominating with a healthy Davis that the losses in the back seven on defense have not really hurt. I think we look better on defense We don't run the ball as well on offense but we find ways to be efficient and still get a ton of big plays. I think we lead the country in plays over 20 yards.
I think we are the same and they are worse than last year.
