5. Boston College’s offense not set up to have success

There has been just one type of offense that has had any type of success against Clemson over the past few years: That’s a spread-offense with the ability to throw the ball.

If you can’t pass the ball, you’re not going to score many points against Clemson- especially this season.

I’m not saying that Boston College’s Anthony Brown can’t throw the ball, but I am saying that I don’t think he’s capable of going for 300-plus yards through the air against the Tigers. AJ Dillon is a very talented running back, but he’s not going to be very effective Saturday against the Tigers. No running back is.

So, the first reason is simply the fact that Boston College’s offense is not set up for success against Clemson’s defense.
