Obviously playing to our potential is key. I truly believe that if we do that then we win. Let's not be all cupcakes and rainbows though and discuss some things that we hope the staff is working on over these next 3 weeks. I've got a few that I believe are most important after watching the last 3 weeks.

1. Tackling - If you watch the last game there were way too many missed tackles. Taylor is probably the best back in the country but Etienne isn't far behind. This kid has burners so it's extremely important we have a great game tackling the ball carrier. Linebackers absolutely have to step up.

2. Getting pressure early on Lawrence - This Oline is probably going to be the best we've seen this year. They are larger than Wisconsins line so I truly hope our speed can be an advantage. Creativity with how we come at him can be huge. Don't need him being comfortable in the pocket or a below average first half by our defense could have us down 21 or more at half.

3. Getting Fields comfortable early/improved pass protection - We have the talent at WR to get them open on quick hitters and do to Clemson what our competition has been doing to us. If we're being honest our pass blocking hasn't been as great as we'd like. We can't allow their Dline to dictate what we're doing.
