2. Play passionate defense

Defensively, the Tigers need to come out ready to go.

All season, they’ve done that and there’s no reason to believe they won’t this week.

This Clemson defense is absolutely ridiculous. I can't imagine there's one better this season.

If the defense comes out ready to go, Boston College probably won’t score at all. A passionate defensive effort is probably good enough for a shutout.
