Virginia’s big O-line will test Tigers’ much improved defensive front

Though Clemson routed Virginia in last year’s ACC Championship Game, the Tigers know they could have played a lot better, especially on the defensive side of the football.

Clemson, who takes pride in controlling the line of scrimmage, was overwhelmed up front for a good portion of last year’s game. It allowed the Cavaliers to gain nearly 400 yards of offense and average 5.2 yards per play.

It is something the top-ranked Tigers (2-0, 1-0 ACC) better get fixed Saturday when Virginia comes to Death Valley for a rematch of last year’s title game.
