4. The entire offensive line

This might be a little bit of a ‘copout,’ but if Clemson wants to win this one, they need a solid performance from the offensive line.

The Tigers had a tough time getting a push against Notre Dame in the last matchup and that led to one of the worst rushing performances of the season. That can’t be the case this time.

The offensive line needs to give Lawrence time to find the open man and they need to get a push to open up holes for Etienne in the running game.
