3. A little more of that ‘tank formation’

Clemson ran out Uiagalelei in a couple of formations during the Miami game and hasn’t gone back to that formation yet.

Look for the Tigers to do that a little more often during the last month of the season. It’s not going to be a regular occurrence, but it is something that can shift the focus of the defense and give them something else to worry about all the while giving Uiagalelei valuable snaps.

Uiagalelei is a strong runner and there’s no doubt that there’s benefit to having him bulldoze forward for needed yardage while also knowing at any point he could throw one over the top.
