Clemson comes into this game at 6-0, and in two weeks will likely face a Florida State team that will be a survival game in a quest to make the Final Four. What Clemson hangs their hat on every game is a top and elite-level defense. The Tigers are allowing a very stingy 4.4 yards per play vs. teams that average 6.1 yards per play, and in the process, they are defending only 64 plays a game on average. Clemson still hasn't arrived as a complete team, but they do have an improving, and somewhat above average offense. However, turnovers keep inhibiting their growth, as Clemson has put the ball on the ground 13 times this season and has yet to play a clean game. Miami has only turned the ball over twice, but I would expect that to change here with a physical, fast, and ball-hawking Clemson defense. The problem for Miami is that they have not been able to run the ball, so they accumulate a lot of yards in the air, and seem to be getting stalled inside the 20 yard line when things get tighter. The Tigers have played to a 10-2 mark in their last 12 to the UNDER after allowing fewer than 20 points in their previous game, and have been a perfect 8-0 to the UNDER in their last eight vs. a winning team. Take the UNDER.
