Elliott looks for Clemson O-line to be more physical: "We go as they go."

CLEMSON – Clemson will go as far as the offensive line takes it this season, and for offensive coordinator Tony Elliott, that means a more physical group up front.

“It's just taking those guys and making them understand, we go as they go,” Elliott said last week. “I've said this before, and this is just my assessment and my opinion, but when we became a championship-caliber program is when we started to be able to control the line of scrimmage.
