re: Help Build My Confidence

- Clemson gives up 4.80 yards per rush on 1st down. That's 77th in the country.

- Clemson gave up 3.60 yards per rush against P5 teams

- Clemson gave up 4.04 yards per rush against T25 teams

Against S&P+ Top 25 Rush Offenses (Non-Auburn as they were awful until October)
#2 FSU - 163 yards, 5.82 YPC
#3 Pitt - 156 yards, 4.73 YPC
#10 Louisville - 273 yards, 4.96 YPC
#23 Ohio State - 88 yards, 3.83 YPC

FYI - We are #9

Even Ohio State, with that clunker of a performance, averaged almost 4 YPC.


This isn't a great rush defense, at all. And against us - that's a bad place to start.



FYI - here are our worst rushing games this season by YPC

Western Kentucky - 124 yards, 3.18 YPC
LSU - 216 yards, 4.24 YPC
Auburn - 203 yards, 4.61 YPC
Kentucky - 173 yards, 4.68 YPC
