Clemson Post-game Thread

[techfan#14]

I am sorry this is a complaint post but watching our D give up points to Hunter Helms and literally not able to tackle a 4 year old, I cant take anymore. Why does our defense look as lost as lost can be. We lose guys in coverage, we dont tackle, and we get no pressure. I thought Collins was defensive guy.... why is it not showing????

You can't really blame the defense when they have been on the field ALL game. They are exhausted and tired because our offense blows. Thanks, Patenaude.

I think they're absolutely gassed at this point

How can anyone defend this performance?

 

[billga99]

It is extremely poor execution. The defensive backfield at times was 10 yards from the receiver...not just getting beat deep but in the middle of the field. A piece of that is lack of pressure on the QB but even on fairly quick plays, it happened. After watching this game, if I was an opponent of GT, I would pass them to death. We haven't we stopped the pass since the FSU game. We got by with it against Louisville because of the 3 turnover advantage.

This just felt like a poorly played and coached game he while way around. Wasn't expecting anything close to a win but 73 to 7 is just completely disgusting. Dabo seemed to want to embarrass us today

It starts with a LB who gets out of position on every play and has no speed to make plays. It continues with 2 safety’s with no speed.

Inexperienced. 35 yr old defensive coordinator. (Too young) For starts. staff is too young . DT too small can't slow the run. No pass rush, no speed in the secondary, no speed or quickness @ linebacker. Its time for our 2019 recruits to gain playing time.. we need A DC with more game experience .this is power 5 ACC football.

I think I would only play Freshmen and Sophmores going forward.

Thing is, we are playing mostly fresh and soph vs the number 1 team in the nation... including NFL... what you expect?

 

[billga99]

Even with an inexperienced DC, why is Collins not having more input on how to improve things with the D? Even with really poor defensives under the 3O days, we were never this ill prepared and outclassed. The biggest issue is we are trying to play press coverage without the personnel to pull it off. Thus we get passed to death.

Miami only had 6 more yards of offense than we did.

"Dabo wanted to embarrass us today." Mission accomplished when the punter is playing quarterback in the fourth quarter. Our team for the first time seemed to quit.

 

[THWG16]

Again blame the OC, but that’s just what most people on this site do , cause it popular

 

[tsrich]

Defense looked decent in the first quarter, just outmanned. At this point, they've been on the field too long and it's a blowout - hard to give top effort down 70

I would expect them to be competitive not suffer an historically bad loss. But that is just me.

 

[THWG16]

We can’t get big , mean defensive players cause we’d rather be the MIT of the south instead of a football program

I agree this is inexcusable
