Bracing for the running game
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
It has been a long time since an opponent was able to run all over Georgia Tech, but that’s what Clemson will try to do Saturday night.
The Tigers average 250 yards a game on the ground. No team has run for more than 200 against Tech since 2004, when Virginia rolled for 207 yards and North Carolina for 284. This Clemson offensive line is huge and experienced like that Virginia line was.
Can the Yellow Jackets match up? Will they be able to do it without leaving themselves unable to cover the screen passes Clemson loves to throw?
Those are the key questions for the Yellow Jackets’ defense heading into this game between the top teams in the ACC’s Atlantic and Coastal divisions.
