Points, points and more points. That should be the theme tonight. You have two offensive minded coaches with plenty of firepower at their disposal, going up against two mediocre defenses. Tajh Boyd leads Clemson's fast-paced offense, and is one of two dynamic quarterbacks in this game. Boyd and West Virginia's Geno Smith combined to throw for 7,556 yards and 56 touchdowns - the edge in yardage going to Smith with Boyd tossing six more TD passes. Smith, a Miami-area native, has already broken single-season school records for attempts (483), completions (314) and total passing yards (3,978) with one game remaining and let's remember that Holgorsen's last 2 stops were at Oklahoma State and Houston and we know what those offenses have done. Tahj Boyd has been superb as well this year as he has completed 60.5 percent of his passes this season, for 3,578 yards, with 31 TDs. Two issues for both teams has been tackling in space defending mobile quarterbacks. While Boyd and Smith aren’t the quickest guys in the world, they can scramble out of the pocket. Sammy Watkins, DeAndre Hopkins, Tavon Austin and Stedman Bailey are all incredibly elusive—Austin and Watkins are both in the Top 5 nationally in all-purpose yards. With both teams relying so heavily on the pass, those receivers will get a lot of action. This should be a very exciting game with little defense. I expect around 70 points here as we go with the Over.
