It is worth noting that Clemson played very well against Tech's triple option actually they gave up less rushing yards to Georgia Tech than Virginia Tech, Miss. State, UNC, Miami, and Georgia by far. Clemson has talent and speed all over the field and should be a perfect match in my opinion to stop the triple option so long as the OL's don't get up field to block LB's. So in my opinion advantage Clemson on defense which might shock many people because of the triple option and talent that Tech has, but I believe in the DL of Clemson with Bowers, Sapp and Jenkins and the fact that the 3 days to prepare is over rated.
For Clemson on offense they feature two of the speediest players in the nation in CJ Spiller and Jacoby Ford at WR. Field position will be in favor of Clemson all night because of this match up. Both players returned a kick and punt for TD's in their first week win vs. Mid TN. Clemson's offensive line is one of the best in the nation and returns all 5 starters who all weigh over 300 lbs. I see Georgia Techs defense having many problems defending the variable rushing attack of Spiller who will take the ball outside and sophmore Jamie Harper who will run it up the gut. So here you have Clemson with the advantage despite starting a freshman QB because of field position on their special teams and the running game.
Lastly I was no impressed with how Georgia Tech looked against Jacksonville State turning the ball over 5 times. There is a huge difference in Jacksonville State and Middle TN and I think Clemson is put in a great position to take advantage and build some momentum for the season!
