All it's going to take is stretching the running game consistently. The first few games consisted of runs up the middle 90% of the time. The defensive line and LBs have to be kept honest. Clemson was able to collapse the pocket so often because they had zero incentive to keep perimeter containment. It was a terrible game plan by AU.

I agree, the Clemson game was very winnable IMO. Getting under center running some jet sweeps, toss sweeps and screen could have forced Clemson's interior to pause giving the backfield alittle extra time. Clemson knew they didn't need to get risky on the offensive side of the ball. The two turnovers were total gifts and if it were me I would have kicked a field goal at every turn.
