Maybe I wasn't looking at him all the time...but I didn't notice us doing anything special to him. He took himself out of several plays by charging inside and we went outside...but that's just the luck of the draw. He is just not playing as dominatingly as he did last year. Call it what you want...defensive scheme, lack of conditioning, complacency on his part....who knows.

I noticed him doing this a lot. He looked to be going for the big play (sacking Murray) instead of staying with his assignment.

He wasn't that dominant last year. You all just bought into the hype. He's a great player. He isn't superman.

Georgia didn't do anything special. Clowney has been so hyped that all he wants to do is "sack" the QB and in his zeal to do that, he takes himself out of the play many times.
