Stupac, your point is apt.  Clemson prefers to pass in first halves and run in the second halves.

Here are the run percentages for Stanford and four other representative "better" teams:

First quarter run play percentage
Washington  56
Ohio State  53
Oklahoma  53
Stanford   49
Clemson  43

Second quarter percentage
Washington  59
Oklahoma  51
Clemson  48
Ohio State  42
Stanford  34

Third
Washington  57
Clemson  57
Oklahoma  55
Ohio State  50
Stanford  45

Fourth
Oklahoma  75
Washington  70
Clemson  66
Ohio State  58
Stanford  56

Yes, Clemson comes out throwing and then steadily moves to the run,   
Oklahoma has a slight run preference. Ohio Statr a slight pass preference.
Washington runs.
Stanford passes.

A reason Stanford may not pass often: Costelli starts games slowly. 
More on that next.
