2. The Offensive Line

The entire Clemson football offensive line gets a spot on our list this week.

After the opening couple of series, the offensive line really settled into the game and did an excellent job controlling the line of scrimmage.

The interior of that line opened up holes in the running game and they gave Trevor Lawrence time to pass despite pressure and blitzes that Georgia Tech was bringing.

One of the highlight-reel plays for the offensive line came on Travis Etienne’s 90-yard run when OT Jackson Carman absolutely pancaked a Georgia Tech defender and gave Etienne a clear lane to get open and take the ball to the house.

The offensive line did all of this despite heavy rotations at times, especially in the second half.
