Re: Ohio paper breaks down the Mike Williams matchup.

If you vote in the poll, you'll see the readership opinion of who will win the match-up - Mike Williams or the OSU corners. The delusional voting (likely local to the paper readership) is heavily favoring the OSU corners. I sure hope the OSU coaches think the same way, because a few back shoulder come-backers should set them up for a nice out and up deep ball.

Mike Williams has reached the same point we saw Sammy and Nuk reach during their last seasons where they became impossible to cover. It doesn't matter if its a big corner, fast corner, or a 1st round talent corner. Mike Williams is to the point that he can and will win 95% of jump balls and uses his size and speed to create separation in both deep and short routes. He has great body control and will be by far the best receiver OSU has seen this year

The WR position group is easily the best part of the offense (excluding DW as a solo player), and it's going against what is probably the strength of the Buckeye D.
As Williams, Cain, Ray Ray, and Scott and most likely all future NFL players, likewise Conley, Lattimore, and Hooker are NFL prospects and likely first round picks. Which is remarkable given that Eli Apple and Vonn Bell were 1st and 2nd round picks just last April.
Just as the Tigers will be the best offense OSU has faced all year, this will be the best defense, and specifically secondary, that Clemson has faced all year. Strength vs. Strength - should be a fun matchup.

They have faced absolutely no one in 2016 that will have prepared them for how Clemson's passing game and it's position players can take over the field . No offense , but those 3 dbs you mentioned will be pointing at each other in bewilderment by the end of this game . I expect DW to throw 4 or 5 TD passes , and I do NOT expect that that production will be reciprocated. No question in my mind that Ohio State will lose this particular matchup , and do so convincingly. I also laugh when people compare Oklahoma to Clemson in regards to our offensive weapons. Lol , It is almost as silly to hear as when they say that Michigan has a better DLine than Clemson's. Time to remind 'em.

I'm with you all the way. I think this is a repeat of our game with Oklahona from last year. Lots of similarities.

I'd say OSU will have a significant test against our secondary as well!!
