His Plan B and C was hamstrung with Saivion out there. His Plan B and C was hamstrung with ILB play. The defense consists of dependent parts.

If the defense is so dependent on a healthy 5* at every position playing like 5*, then the defense likely needs to be changed.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not challenging you, it's just frustrating that the cupboards are essentially bare even with one top recruiting class after another.

I know that Clemson has elite talent too, but this defense struggled against pretty much everybody.

We gifted them a pick TD and pissed away 25 points on four drives where we reached 1st and goal but only scored 3 points total. 7 + 25 = 32. We lost by 28. And we threw a pick in the red zone on another drive. We could've (should've) won that game.

I was very disappointed in our defensive plan and calls. Venables did a great job with the variety of disguised blitzes. We were very vanilla, rushing 3 most of the time and showing our blitzes when we did call them. We made it easy for Clemson's offense. Our goal-to-go offensive play calling was very bad.

This loss was not like the final score. And it falls much more on a poor job of in-game coaching than on the players or anything else, imo.
