Oklahoma defensive end Charles Tapper has a few days to do some more research.

The senior from Baltimore admitted on Sunday morning that he didn’t know a whole lot about Clemson’s offensive line. He wasn’t aware that the group is tied for 14th in the country in fewest sacks allowed.

Tapper also had no idea that all five Tiger starters were named All-ACC, something that has never been done in school history.

“Last year, they had some chemistry and those guys were willing to work,” he said.

“We don’t really know about this one. They’re still really young, trying to find their identity and our job is to not let them find their identity.”

It was a different story with Deshaun Watson. Tapper knew all about him.

“He’s really shown that he’s in his own lane and great at what he does, especially as a sophomore, at a young age,” Tapper said. “The closest guy I can compare to him is Baker (Mayfield), but Baker is, I feel, a little more different, but this guy,

Deshaun Watson, he’s like a running back at quarterback that can throw the ball.”

Redshirt junior cornerback Zack Sanchez said Watson has a lot of big targets to throw to.

“They go get the ball and they’re athletic and they can make plays,” Sanchez said. “That’s a lot how Iowa State was, just bigger guys, physically. They get into your body and just kind of want to muscle you out from the ball.”

The familiarity from last year’s Russell Athletic Bowl has carried over into prep for this week’s Orange Bowl.

“It helps out a lot. Obviously, they didn’t have the quarterback, so the game plan will be a little bit different this year,” Sanchez said. “They’ll be able to spread things out and do a lot more, offensively.

“We’ve been able to see them before and kind of figure out their tendencies and things like that. We’ve had a month to prepare and watch film on them, but those guys, they’ve got some good receivers out there, but we’ve got some pretty damn good DBs, too.”

Junior safety Ahmad Thomas thinks pretty highly of Jordan Leggett, who was a finalist for the Mackey Award, which goes to the country’s top tight end.

“Dude’s just a good player. He’s big and he knows how to run routes and he knows

how to catch the ball,” Thomas said. “He’s a threat, because he knows how to block, too. He’s a real good player. I give him respect.”

Junior linebacker Dominique Alexander thinks the same way about Clemson’s leading rusher, Wayne Gallman, and the top wide receiver, Artavis Scott.

“No. 9, he’s a great runner, he’s down hill, very down hill. Our coaches respect him. We respect him. Their receiver, (Artavis) Scott, they have big play receivers that run good,” Alexander said. “They just have a good team. They all play well with each other. They feed off each other.”
