I don't think the DL was the problem. It was the defensive backfield.



We got zero pass rush all night. Hell That slug of a QB LSU has would have had a good night with all the time sunshine had last night.

I've been watching Clemson's DL for three seasons now and I still think they are overrated. I think Ohio State and Mississippi State had a better DL than Clemson's. I'm not taking anything away from them but they are simply not what the media makes them out to be.

We lost this game due to two costly turnovers, a lack of pass rush, a green secondary, and a defensive coaching staff that is still learning. And, Clemson has the offensive talent to exploit our defensive deficiencies. If not for coaching we don't beat UGA. In my opinion UGA was more talented than Clemson but Clemson is better coached than UGA.

We gifted them a pick TD and pissed away 25 points on four drives where we reached 1st and goal but only scored 3 points total. 7 + 25 = 32. We lost by 28. And we threw a pick in the red zone on another drive. We could've (should've) won that game.

I was very disappointed in our defensive plan and calls. Venables did a great job with the variety of disguised blitzes. We were very vanilla, rushing 3 most of the time and showing our blitzes when we did call them. We made it easy for Clemson's offense. Our goal-to-go offensive play calling was very bad.

This loss was not like the final score. And it falls much more on a poor job of in-game coaching than on the players or anything else, imo.
