[QUOTE="jimholman7, post: 249165, member: 2500"] I've watched Clemson at Auburn and again vs us last night. AU's DL is close to being as good as Clemson's which kept that game close along with AU having zero offense. We also know that DW has a poor touch on deep balls. Showed this vs GT and AU. How many fades and post corners did he miss? A ton. We're so vulnerable to the short passing game because we have no DL push and as such our DBs have to give 10 yards cushion. This makes these smokes and outs so very easy. Even Mercer did this well against us. Pitch and catch all the way down the field. When our DBs press a bit, we get killed on slants and screens. We did well against Clemson's run, but in the end it didn't matter. If Watson could have hit the deep ball, the score would have been worse. Clemson ran 3 down D line man and blew us up all day with their linebackers. They were also jumping our counts (like VT & LSU do against us) and we did much better in the 2nd half with our counts to get the offside calls. Notice how many offsides they had? At least 4. I think this helped slow down their penetration and helped our running game, but why did it take into the 2nd half to adjust to this? Knowing how poorly our O-Line plays against physical, athletic, and aggressive D-Lines, I can see Miami doing this same thing. I don't think this is "figuring out the triple option" (hogwash), but it completely figures out the 2015/2016 GT offense. If Miami's smart, they'll likely do the same as CU and VT does. One good vertical receiving threat for our O would take some pressure off as would one beast O-Lineman, but as CPJ is fond of saying, these guys don't grown on trees. What does CPJ do to plan for this? Not sure if he has has an answer. I'm sure Sewak doesn't. [/QUOTE]
