Posted it in the other thread but I'll post it here too. Key matchups for the game.

 

Key matchup for FSU:


-FSU's offensive line vs. Clemson's defensive line


This will be the biggest test so far this season for our offensive line. Can Erving hold is own against the leading sack man in the country? Can the offensive line help get the running game going? Can they keep Jameis on his feet for most of the night? If not, it could turn ugly pretty quick.


Key matchup for Clemson:


-Clemson's passing game vs. FSU's secondary


Statistically, FSU has a top five passing defense IIRC, but they haven't faced an attack like this. I don't believe Clemson will have much success running the football, not just because of our defense, but from what I've read from Clemson fans all week on here. Can FSU hold their own against Clemson's high powered, big play offense? We know Morris will have some tricks up his sleeve, but can our corners keep Sammy and co. in check? I think FSU's secondary will get 1-2 INTs, but Sammy will probably do what Sammy does, especially if he's healthy. 


I still stand by my prediction made earlier in the week. I'm going:


FSU-45

Clemson-31


I don't think the crowd will phase Jameis at all. I think our defense will force turnovers as I said above. And I think FSU will be able to run the ball and control the clock, and Jameis and the receivers will keep clicking. 


One.more.day. Is it Saturday night yet?
