ORLANDO – Clemson’s offense and new offensive coordinator Brandon Streeter will face one of college football’s more unique defenses when they play Iowa State next Wednesday, a defense that has given teams fits for years. But it’s also a defense the Tigers have seen before.
The Cheez-It Bowl matchup with Iowa State will feature two of the nation’s top defenses. Entering bowl selection, Clemson ranked No. 9 in the nation in total defense, allowing only 308.4 yards per game. Iowa State was right behind Clemson at No. 10 with an average of 309.2 yards allowed per game.
