There’s one area that opposing offenses just haven’t tested the past few years with Clemson football- the interior defensive line.
How many times have we seen teams consistently try to run up the middle or put pressure on the interior of the defensive line? The answer is not that often.
Other than maybe Alabama in 2017, teams just haven’t had continued success running straight up the middle or directing plays that way.
The only times that I can think of, as a matter of fact, have to do more when the play broke down than anything else.
