If only there was a Defensive Coordinator out there who seemed to have figured out how to slow down and disrupt the HUNH offense... and we played against him last year, and he trots out a new young aggressive defense with a gutted D-line and runs 3 safeties and brings pressure and continues to have success.
A lot of excuses going on in this thread and no accountability. Not hearing any excuses out of Venebles. We've had injuries but we have comparable or better talent to Clemson and watch what they do to Carolina this year and watch what the Aggies do to us.

Clemson and Venables is not a great comparison. They play garbage teams every week in a terrible conference, rest up and stay healthy. They have not had anywhere close to either the injuries we have had or the early NFL defections. Take half of Venables stars every year, make him play in the SEC every week and let’s see how he does.

I hate bogging any football conversation down with too many stats. But Pruitt's aggressive style, we finished #3 in the nation in total defense in 2016 and #1 in total defense in 2017. I would rather err on the side of being aggressive vs spread teams.

I knew somebody would take the bait!

Team A:

Team A - Clemson's defense against us in the National Championship Game. Total master class!
Team B - Alabama's defense against South Carolina on Saturday. Total disaster!
What did these remarkably similar outputs have in common? Venebles kept everything in front of him between the 20s and gave up the dinks and dunks to later stop us in the red zone. Sound familiar?

Clemson gave up 510 5/1 to Jake Bentley and South Carolina last year.
