Use the TEs earlier in the game. Maybe use Howard as the decoy and hit Forristall on some plays.

Establish the run in the 2nd half. I know Bo went out, but it felt like we abandoned the run after that instead of really trying to make it work.

Seen Josh Jacobs a little more in the game after Bo went out. I like Harris, but Jacobs seems to have an extra gear that gets him through the hole into the secondary.

The drive that started around the 7:30 mark in the 4th quarter - I wish we'd just ran the ball 3 times instead of passing on 2nd & 3rd downs. Could've ran about 2 minutes off the clock and given the defense a little longer to rest.

Kick the ball out of the endzone. I understand sometimes we can get a shorter field by kicking it right to the one and letting our coverage team full of elite athletes get down and make the stop, but, there several kickoffs where we missed tackles or lost contain and Clemson ended up around the 30 or 40 yard line. Specifically, the last kickoff after Jalen's scramble for the TD. Just kick it out of the endzone and know exactly where you're gonna be starting.

Should have held all the Clemson receivers on the last play.

Yes. There would be one untimed down (or one play with 1-2 seconds left). Either way it forces a field goal and overtime.
