You want to know who wins
Easy, go back and watch the 2011 game and watch the lines of scrimmage. Now remember they are replacing their top defensive end and interior lineman. Also remember our best offensive lineman didn't play that game.
Then watch their o-line against our d front. Remember they are replacing their best o-linemen and will be very thin and inexperienced. In fact, after speaking with a high school head coach 3 weeks ago who is a Clemson fan, they are very thin on o-line according to him and if any backup has to play they are in big trouble.
What changes from last year to this year Clowney bigger and stronger, Taylor bigger and stronger, Quarles, Dixon's, Duke's, Jebideau and I am probably missing someone. No Ingram but we played alot of people on d-line and should be solid.
In fact, go back and look at last 3 years and it is obvious we have changed the game in the trenches. Boyd hates pressure and is easily rattled into mistakes. They avg'd what? 2 yards per play last year
Our qb got better as year went on, doesn't turn ball over and makes great reads/decisions.
All boils down to the trenches, team that controls the line of scrimmage usually wins. Go watch the tape and see who has dominated the lines.
Go Cocks!!!
