In both its regular-season losses at Notre Dame last November and in the loss to Ohio State in the Sugar Bowl, Clemson struggled to run the football and control the line of scrimmage.
The Tigers rushed for just 34 yards against in a double overtime loss to the Irish and they did not run the ball much better against the Buckeyes. Ohio State held them to 2.0 yards per carry as the Tigers rushed for just 44 yards overall.
Matt Bockhorst did not make any excuses this past spring for why Clemson’s offensive line struggled at times last year.
