5. How good can these two groups be?

There are two groups that have been particularly dominant for Clemson football: The Defensive Line and the Running Backs.

Particularly with the running backs is Travis Etienne.

My question is just what these two groups are capable of doing the rest of the season. Can the defensive line continue to dominate opposing offensive lines? Can they push forward and possibly lead the nation in sacks?

On offense, can Etienne continue to put up the monster numbers he has been posting over the past few games?
