Keys for OSU. Contain the passing game while keepin Etienne in the backfield. As, well as keeping Travis from making big runs. OSU has a distinct advantage in the running game. The Buckeyes should take the tempo game of Clemson away from them by dominating the line of scrimmage in the running game. Keeping Clemsons offense off the field will be critical.
Keys for Clemson. Hitting OSU over the middle when in zone coverage will be key. Particularly with Etienne as they will pick up yards after completion. Clemsons WR will need to step up their game with a less talented pool of receivers vs last year. If Clemsons defense can’t win the war at the line of scrimmage OSU will run all over them. They have to shut down Olaeve. So goes Olaeve so goes OSU receivers. If Olaeve does well the rest of their receivers do well and when Olaeve is taken out of the game they are mediocre.
One thing Clemson had better be prepared for. OSU will be playing for blood. Trust me when I say OSU has been practicing to play Clemson all year in hopes of a rematch. They will be ready and out for blood and hungry to reverse the embarrassing record they have against Clemson.
