If you don't beat South Carolina this year, you are fired.

LSU and Florida did it last year.

How do you beat Clowney, as the offensive coordinator?

Your weapons are Murray, receivers Mitchell, Bennett, Conley, running backs Gurley and Marshall, stud TE's Lynch/Rome, and all 5 starters back on the OL, but more depth from the last recruiting class.

Run plays right at Clowney so he gets a double team, like a double team on a big arse Nose in a 3-4, but it's a DE in a 4-3 instead?

Talk X's and O's to me.

In this hypothetical situation, assume you have home field advantage, so no glow-stick techno homoerotica music with 90000 screaming goatees while Murray is trying calling a play at the LOS.

Put Murray in shotgun 20 yards back.

Double him assuming they only rush 4. If they rush 5 double him with a running back. Run boots away from him. Don't bother trying to stretch them downfield. Focus on short efficient throws. Slow him down by running at him and cut blocking him. Double team him the entire game in summary.

Clowney runs a 4.5 40.

He'd be there in 2.25 seconds.

It gives Murray time to catch the snap then launch Hail Mary's

You tell your LT to let Clowney through, then have Murray hand the ball off and duck right as Clowney is about to lay the wood, putting Clowney over and on his backside. The rest is gravy.

You assign the man-child Quayvon Hicks at Fullback to follow Clowney wherever he goes and pound away at his thighs.

Your only hope to overcome Clowneysaurus is to merely slow him down. There is no beating him.

other ideas:

run hurry up at times and try and make him tired.

Put in some tackle over stuff. Obviously placing the other tackle on his side. Pass and run out of it. Get a RB to chip him and go out on a pass route. Run some screens.

LSU just kept our offense off the field by 3 and outting our offense and then grinding away at our defense until they finally buckled. Clowney played well in that game though and was mad at the rest of the D for not doing the same.

UF.. well we were knocked out of that game before it even started. I believe UF had 21 points off of 27 yards of total offense due to offense and ST ineptness. The defense did pretty damn good for a while, but like the LSU game simply couldn't do everything on its own.

eta: You could always try screens away from Clowney or dink and dunk passes in the middle of the field. However because of Clowney's name I don't think people realize how good the rest of our DL is.

Based more on their defense than their offense.

Double team him at all times/run plays away from him and hope he gets fed up and quits trying.

Bootlegs away from him have seemed effective.

On obvious passing situations add a running back to chip him on top of a double team.

Cut block him on quick three step drops

Double him. Mainly, don't let yourself get into third and long situations. If you let that monster pin his ears back, you can't stop him.

If Gurley and Marshall get it going, Clowney won't be able to just rush the passer with reckless abandon. Holding him to 2 sacks or less makes the game manageable.

Feel like you need more two-back sets (with a FB preferably) to try to slow him down.

When you run the ball, run it right at him. When you pass, bootleg away from him and/or chip him with a RB.

You basically just have to force him to hold up against the run and frustrate him by never having the QB stand still. Not much else you can do.
