If they can’t cover us in man like Oklahoma could not and have to play soft coverage I figure the slants will be there. If they are leaving LB back to disrupt passing lanes and we can’t handle the front four we don’t deserve to win.

I think Clemson will want to take away the slants, After watching the OU game film.
But I think we will see a lot of dual rb formation with jacobs and D.Harris or Najee.
That RB option in the flat will make Clemson choose there poison.
Either don't cover it with one of there LB'er and continue to send both on blitz.
Which is there bread and butter defensive call.
Or they assign a safety which now leaves the other one to deal with Wadddle or judey in the slot.
Thats not even counting Irv on the other LB'er or safety.
So I aspect Clemson to do the same thing we will do and rely on more 4 man and a slot blitz mixed in some.

12 personnel/Pistol/H deep set inside shoulder TE
Crash block toward TE / Pull TE side guard / HB follow guard / Rb counter toward TE then cut back to follow HB.
Those teams that slant the D toward the TE have caused issues. This get the flow toward the TE then 34/8 cutback against that flow and read the hole at back side tackle. Guard kick out and HB lead like from an old I-set.
I would at least try it a couple of times to kill their desire to slant the D-line also keeps LB eyes in the backfield and away from the Slot slant/wheel passing.
