Next question: what do you think of the Steele hire now that it's almost game time? I will tell you that I always liked him as a person and think he's a really smart guy. My biggest gripe was that I thought either his D was to complex or he got vapor lock on the sidelines. We constantly had lineman standing up looking at the sidelines with their arms out and shoulders raised while the center was over the ball. Always. Players were visibly frustrated.  

Just curious: I know your DLine is scary. Are they better than Bama's last year? I honestly don't know. Bama was the best we faced last year and I think our offense as a whole and particularly our OLine will be better than last year.

That's also not taking into account their other stable of WRs they have. 

I did not include Ray Ray McCloud or Trevion Thompson in there, both of whom are very good receivers. Or the 3 4-stars we signed in February. I prefer 4/1 to 5 Wide just because Leggett is a nightmare. He's a big cat with soft hands. 

Alright, so Clemson goes with a 4WR/1TE set. Who do you man up with on each?

Mike Williams, 6'3" 225 / 57-1030, 6 TD (DNP 2015; 2014 stats used)

Artavis Scott, 5'10" 190 / 93-901, 6 TD

Deon Cain, 6'1" 210 / 34-582, 5 TD

Hunter Renfrow, 5'11" 180, 33-492, 5 TD

Jordan Leggett, 6'5" 260 / 40-525 8 TD

I was listening to XM this morning on the way to work.  Greg McElory said he studied film on Mitch Hyatt and said he really struggled against elite pass rushers.  Said he doesn't think he'll be able to handle a healthy Carl Lawson. 

As an 18 year old charged with defending the blindside of the best QB in college football last year, here's what Hyatt did: against Florida State he graded at 93 percent, against Oklahoma he hit 88 and against Bama he graded at 91. And this Oline is young only in age. Hyatt, Guillermo (the only Sr.) and Crowder started vs. Bama. The other two starters are Fruhmorgen who logged 245 snaps for the season and Hearn who logged 180. Add in Gallman's outstanding pass protection and I think we'll be fine against a very good Auburn line.
