Their D went from an average of 66 plays per game give or take to what 90 plus last night.... lost their legs.

They never did well against a dual threat QB. Saban structure his team to beat LSU at the time because that was the biggest competition and the SEC was head and shoulders above everyone else in the NCAA. LSU, is not the competition you scheme your team around at this point and parity has caught up to the SEC.

Because our offense couldn't sustain drives.

Anyone with a brain knew we weren't going to keep bottling up Clemsons offense the whole game. We had to make some plays and establish some offensive rhythm, but Jalens inability to make simple throws and move to open 2nd and 3rd options made that impossible.

And, in the end, Clemson kept getting opportunities and finally they cashed in.

Our defense isn't structured that way anymore. Hasn't been since about 2013.
