There was no real flaw with the defense.

Being one dimensional on offense is what hurt us

We had 16 offensive drives:
7 drives lasted three plays
3 drives lasted four
3 drives lasted five
1 drive lasted six
1 drive lasted nine
1 drive lasted 1 play to end the first half

We didn't have an offensive drive that lasted more than 6 plays in the second half.

That's asking a lot of a defense. They did enough to win, the offense just kept putting them back on the field.

I kept waiting on that patented Bama drive in the second half where Bama goes 8 minutes running the ball when everyone knows what is coming. It never happened. Hurts could have played a lot better, but that isn't as big of an issue if the o-line didn't get whipped all game. It took incredible individual effort from Bo on the first half td's or the game might not have even been close.
I think if that game is played 10 times, Clemson probably wins 6 or 7
