well our Wide Receivers block. Dabo said after the 2011 Auburn game that WRs that dont block wont play at Clemson, and he and Jeff Scott have those guys so fundamentally sound that they can all block, regardless of size.
So many of our long runs by RBs or short passes that went for long TDs in 2018 were sprung by excellent downfield WR blocking, especially from Higgins, Overton, Ross, and Renfrow.

Great teams have great blocking by their receivers. Dabo's teams have that. Danny's teams had that. There were a lot of years in between the two coaches where we had very little disciplined blocking by the receivers.

...on offense, if you don't have the ball in your hands, you run and play as the plan tells you to do, and as opportunity requires, you block like a steamroller. And you're right, our WR's do this exceptionally well!
