re: Why the Defense did not stand up to the pressure of Clemson...

I think the Pick Six hurt us seriously. I also think Tua needs to learn more patience but that will come. They could not stop the run but I think our playcalling in the red zone was putrid. We would run off tackle or wide and they slanted or blitzed right into the play. The one time we play actioned down close we scored easily.

We had deficiencies on defense that time and recruiting will have to overcome.
