ESPN’s College GameDay analyst Desmond Howard says Miami’s performance against the Pittsburgh offense showed second-ranked Clemson how to beat the Panthers.
The Hurricanes held Pitt (7-5, 6-2 ACC) to 69 rushing yards and to just 1.8 yards per carry. The Panthers come into tonight’s ACC Championship Game averaging 232 yards per game on the ground.
“I think the ‘Canes gave everyone the blueprint on how to stop Pittsburgh’s running attack. They only averaged 1.8 yards per carry,” Howard said. “We know that the Tigers got the defense to do it, especially with the guys up front. And the flip side, will Pitt be able to stop the Tigers’ running attack with Travis Etienne.
