The closer to Saturday we get the more confident I get, which is the exact opposite of last year. Going into last year I was concerned that we wouldn't be able to contain their "explosive offense" even with our top 10 D, but we crushed them. The offense that they are bringing Saturday is the exact same thing we faced last year (same players, same plays, same "explosiveness"), with a weaker O-line. They have not faced a defense of our caliber all year, even including FSU (who has built their defensive numbers off the backs of a whole mess of crappy offenses). Home field advantage should be an issue though, so we'll see how it all plays out Saturday.

As said above IMO the big question is will our offense show up for the game.....both our O and CU's D in terms of passing and rushing are poor this year, although our scoring offense and offensive passing efficiency has been rather decent. But if we come out struggling to get into any kind of rhythm offensively, we could make CU's defense look much better than their stats have shown, due to the emotional factor of the game.

Our defense will perform well versus Clemson IMO, but they'll still score some points. I expect 1 or 2 big pass plays off of some busted coverages of our secondary. But we will still limit their scoring output: question is, will our own offense be able to match it....
