As bad as our defense is, i dont know if there are any defenses in the acc, other than fsu that are even that good.

I kind of thought this as well before the MSU game. Not ACC defenses specifically, but I just thought the Ohio State defense was adequate enough to allow the offense to do its thing.

I now feel that I was wrong. MSU is a bad offense. Really bad. UM is a bad offense. REALLY bad. This OSU defense is going to get ravaged by Clemson. Clemson's offense is infinitely better than MSU and UM. The only thing I'm hoping for is turnovers by Clemson. Get the offense a short field a couple of times and force Clemson to get out of their game plan a little bit.

If it's a shoot out then one of the Ds will have to get at least one stop to get the win and I see Clemson stopping the Ohio State offense before I see Ohio State's D stopping anything.

If this is the case in your Opinion, then it does not look good for any of the other BIG teams to win their Bowl Games.

Yeah only way I see OSU's defense even slowing down Clemson is if we get a ton of sacks or if Swinney/Morris get stupid and try to run the ball. My plan would be to play ball control and run run run but I see both Hyde and Miller tearing off 10+ yard chunks fairly regularly so ball control may not be possible. Definitely a game where who ever gets the ball last probably wins.
