00:00time in Charlotte, ACC title game between number eight SMU in 17th ranked Clemson.
00:11The Tigers only here because Miami was upset on the road last week in central
00:16New York against the Syracuse Orange. SMU undefeated in its first year in the
00:22ACC looking for its second consecutive conference title as they were unbeaten
00:28in the American and a conference title winner a season ago. SMU, Joe, two and a half point
00:33favorite. Total stands at 55 and a half. How do you break down the ACC action tomorrow night
00:39with a championship on the line in Charlotte? It's, this is one of the first games that I bet
00:47when the lines came out and I think a bunch of people followed suit because it has gone
00:53a little bit higher here. How in the world are we staying under this total with these two
00:59offenses? Garrett Riley, the offensive coordinator at Clemson and Lashley there at SMU. These are
01:08guys, two offenses that average just 25 seconds per play run and they're both able to get some
01:17explosive plays going and generating scoring opportunities. Listen, Clemson's biggest problem
01:23is they don't stop the run very well, right? Well, guess what SMU does pretty much better than
01:30anybody and we'll be one of the running teams here with Prashard Smith who averages, Ben,
01:36are you ready for this? Almost three and a half yards after first contact. So he is, you're not
01:42getting him down and Lashley loves and I mean absolutely loves to get it going and catch
01:49defenses sleeping. I think Garrett Riley, they took the gloves off early on in the season,
01:55Dabo let him be who he is, which is a very fast-paced, up-tempo, take shots kind of offense.
02:03I think this is going to come down to a final possession. I think it's going to be
02:07the highest scoring game of the weekend and Ben, quite honestly,
02:11maybe the most entertaining one that we have this week.
