Gotta give it to Clemson, they have done absolutely nothing to beat themselves. That’s how we have always won big games.

As bad as the defense looks those two turnovers are killer.

Yep. Can't give him all day back there. Gotta call some disguised blitzes. The few times we have it's been pretty effective.

We need to run the ball a lot and limit their offensive possessions.

Sometimes the other team wants it more and just plays better. It is what it is and hopefully we can flip the script in the 2nd half

The disguises Venables is throwing at Tua is a clinic for Tosh. We are so vanilla on defense I want to believe it’s some sort of crazy plan to confuse the frick out of him in the 2nd half but who am I kidding

We HAVE to get pressure. That’s what it comes down to. I know Saban won’t do it, but if in order to get pressure we have to put in young guys (Anoma), then do it.

One thing that bothers me is Clemson looks more disciplined than we do.

Yeah this is what really tells the biggest story. We clearly have the talent, but continually make crucial mistakes in almost every possession (two INTs, missed pressure, false start, blown coverages, Happened against Auburn, Georgia, Oklahoma, and again tonight. We’re getting less disciplined as the season goes on.

No pass rush. Bringing 3-4 rushers isn’t gonna work. 31 points later that’s obvious. Bring a 5th guy. What the worst that happens? They do what they’d do with no pressure?

Thompson and Saivion look like true freshmen.

Wills is still a dip shite.

Locksley is getting schooled by venables. Tosh doesn’t know what he’s doing.

We run the ball on the drive where Tua threw the 2nd pick in triple coverage, we are either winning or down by 1.

No more FGs. No more punts unless we are inside our own 40.

It's because Mack and Moses can't handle anything complicated, and Saivion would just frick it all up even if everyone else did their jobs.

I dont think that our players are lacking effort, we are just being outcoached and the picks killed us.

Clemson is obviously a really talented team, especially offensively. We started getting better pressure on that last defensive series, but our CBs have to play more physical.

We've shown that we can pass and run pretty easily on their defense, so that is reason for optimism.

We got punched in the mouth, let's see how we respond. If they are truly national champions then then we'll win.

I'm okay with taking it into the half. We are clearly out of sync on offense. The absolute worst thing that could happen would be for us to gift them 7 more points by making a dumb mistake.

Najee Harris was open the play that Tua fumbled the ball

For about 3 minutes until they score again.

Anybody else think Tua comes out pressing this second half and throws another pick?

Clemson looks prepared we don’t.

Defense consists of Q and the safeties. Everyone else is just a placeholder.

Tua has reached the point where he’s too cocky and he’s making bad decisions.

Our green coaching staff does not adjust on the fly very well.

We need some signees to show up ready to play.

Y'all remember that time when we were down 13 to Georgia at the half?
