If so, Freeman would be choice. If not, Elston could be DC and Freeman AHC/LB. Either way 4-2-5 (Rover) is way to go. It emphasizes smart, team-oriented players with opportunities for studs (Hamilton , JOK) to "play the field" and flourish. Although I don't completely understand why, it may also better allow in-game adjustments and allows better subbing given deeper rosters. Subbing keeps fresh legs and enhances "looks". Lea is suberb at his rotational use of players. Look at DL and LBs. Four man front applies enormous pressure on run and pass if DLs play disciplined.
While I am respectful about playing Clemson again (and again?) I am very excited we have this game Saturday, rather than stagnate for weeks as in years past. This is easily the game of the day and will pull in monster ratings.
Maybe Elston prefers AHC...
