The past few seasons, the Clemson offense has been known for its high-flying, talented passing attack.
And that’s understandable. There is plenty of evidence of that playing on Sundays in the NFL.
This season, however, has featured more of a balanced attack. Yes, there is plenty of talent in the passing game with quarterback Deshaun Watson and his dangerous wide receiver corps.
But there has been more emphasis placed on the running game, and that was on full display Saturday in the Tigers’ 45-37 win in the ACC championship game.
Clemson ran 56 times for 319 yards to more than complement a passing game that finished with 289 yards.
