We really need to recruit well the Dline lack of pressure from the front 4 hurt us this year. Both teams had great Dlines. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If anything last night shows why you keep attacking on offense even if you have a lead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hurtt looked like a true freshman at times last night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They never attacked enough down the field to loosen Clemson's defense up. Most of their playcalls were between the tackles and only 10-15 yds deep on most passing attempts. I think they really missed Joey Freshwater last night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clemson gave up 376 yds and 31 points. I'm all for scoring as fast and as much as possible, then play good defense. I've said it before and I'll say it again, and again, and again. The defense should only need THREE PLAYS or less to get off the field. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had a lot of plays that went for long runs or long passes for TDs. Do we just tell the guys to fall down at the 20 on a break away run? You can't run an offense by not taking some shots down the field. The idea of throwing downfiled is to keep the defense from loading everyone up front. Do that and we are back to year 1 of the Taggart offense. We have dynamic playmakers on this offense. The only thing I can think of that would pertain to slowing down our offense is maybe more ball control in the form of not snapping the ball until there are 3 or 4 seconds left on the play clock, but with the new OC coming from the Briles school of offense I don't see that happening.

The difference is in garbage time and when you have a lead. I'm convinced Strong is looking at the Navy game as an example of what not to do with a lead. The play calling was bad, with backups in, and they would only take 10 sexonds off the clock. You can still run a fast spread and take time off the clock too. Defense can't sub when you run to the LOS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
