Biggest concern for Saturday? Mine is Lawrence’s running ability on options. Must stay disciplined.

They might let him run early as a surprise factor like Dabo did with Watson early in the 2015 game
and then not run him much more to save him in an attempt to get an early lead. If they need him to run late to make a play or to get a first time it might happen then too. I don't think they will run him consistently after the beginning of the game until late in the game. If they fall behind early don't be surprised if they try a running play with him to get some momentum. Chess game at times..
Our D giving up 402 passing yards the first time we played them w/o Lawrence.

His running in the playoff semifinal changed the tenor of a tight defensive battle.

Sunshine's biggest concern is that he may get killed by JOK while running.

I hate to say this, but JOK or Kyle will probably get flagged for targeting changing the complexion
Hope I'm wrong of course.
What kind of a prediction is that?

A prediction that ACC officials will still screw us where they can...
I have some concerns in that regard...
I think the nature of their positions and how they attack so ferociously is more of a factor
if that unfortunate circumstance happens where a player gets it in the head because both are trying to be aggressive. I really think targeting call is too often called because it is mostly unintentional. If the officials could determinate malicious intent instead of aggressive play it would be better utilized. The egregious one not called on the Texas guy that ruined Tori Hunter's career was the most obvious one I ever saw that should have been called and wasn't. You can often see how a guy reacts initially as to whether it was malicious or not. In the case of Kyle Hamilton, he just got caught in the wrong position making in aggressive tackle like he so often does and though it was the right call I don't think the intent was there.
One that happened in our favor was the 2015 bowl game when Kizer threw an interception to Ohio State and he was blocked by Joey Bosa in the gut and they threw Bosa out of the game, saved Kizer a foolish interception, and eliminated a guy is was killing us to that point.

Just remember how OSU took out Jaylon Smith. I would hope Dabo is above the Buckeyes level.

Worst cheap shot ever.

Re: Oh please
It was an unfortunate injury and could have been avoided if Decker had not pushed Smith in the back after the play was over. However Decker did not hit Smith in the knee in order to take him out. He pushed him in the back of his shoulders from behind and it caused Smith to land awkwardly to avoid falling. The unfortunate result was a severe knee injury. Watch the play again. It was not a play that I would call a cheap shot, like the ones that you see Navy often do against Notre Dame.
Well he pushed him twice after the play was over. Totally unnecessary and the only Ohio State player
who checked on Smith was Ezekial Elliot.
