Go heavy set with 8 blockers tight to the line and let Ridley and Kirk work the outside here and there and take some shots.

Need to try something different I think to beat Buffalo.

Didn't get to watch the game Sunday. Travelling back from Orlando at the time. Looks like they were listening though. 

Etienne - 26 carries for 136 yards - 2 TD's
Lawrence - 7 carries for 31 yards
Ridley - 2 carries for 14 yards
Bigsby - 3 carries for 8 yards
Kirk - 1 carry for 6 yards
Agnew - 1 carry for 1 yard

40 total rushing attempts, in what looks like, a really, really good variety of ways. 196 yards on the ground. That's really good football. Not sure what type of formations they did it out of but that's what I was calling for. When you're playing a physical defense? And they're travelling across the pond after demolishing QB's in the passing game two weeks in a row?

You have to figure out a way to run it at them and keep running it at them to give your QB a chance. Lawrence still got his [BLEEP] kicked and was under a lot of duress throughout the game from what I read but they all got it done big time yesterday. Hats off to the Clemson Crusaders. 

This offense would be in a ton of [BLEEP] without the TNT team. Trevor and Travis. More TNT from the Clemson Crusaders! LFG!!!!

Wasn't really a ton of power formation stuff, but they def stuck to their guns running ETN between the tackles until it paid off. OL did him no favors early and barely gave him a crease late, but he maximized his touches. ETN clearly bounced two called inside runs out to the corner for good gains as well. Figured we see him start to do that sooner or later and mentioned it in a thread last week. He's clearly tired of running into brick walls between the tackles. 
(we saw this last year but he hadn't been doing it yet this season - I assume coaches trying to get him to be patient for his blockers to do work - but... that ain't happening)

The rushes by receivers were end arounds and one quick pitch - and three of those called were very effective. 

Lawrences rushes were almost all improvised due to pressure - maybe one option play. 

Bigsby had a 3rd and one attempt foiled by Fortner getting beat. Stopped for no gain. They seemed to just stay with the hot hand of #1 so he didn't see many snaps.
