They play man coverage, jump the short routes, and send the house, with blitzers coming from different angles and locations. It works gangbusters against the run and the pass, resulting in TFLs and sacks. But you can beat it - as Louisville, Pitt and even Alabama (at times) did. You have to be able to:
Our O line had issues, we had a non-running, inexperienced Freshman QB - on the road - who kept trying to go through progressions rather than let it go, we had a shortage of talented WRs, and we had RBs and TEs that were not particularly good at blocking. All a recipe for disaster against Clemson. A year earlier, with a more experienced QB, we actually had our best offensive output of the year. |

I completely agree with the last statement and hard not to agree with the entire post! XT would go loooooong way in shoring up our DLine and helping our secondary! |

In other words - Clemson's starting DEs early in the season would have been English and Qua Lewis, with Sawyer ahead of whoever they had for the strong side. |

Clemson's D may have kicked our ass with our young skill guys, but they gave up a lot of points and yards to the likes of Pitt, FSU, Louisville, Alabama. We had a number of guys that could have played in the two deep and even started. |

![]() Thread has gotten off topic IMO. I do agree that touting CU right now isn't exactly the best thing to do on a Gamecock recruiting forum.
Truth is, CU has a good defense. Hope is, Muschamp is going to have ours just as good or better really soon. Truth is, if you are a good player and want a better opportunity at early playing time you should choose USC over CU. |

![]() He put out a tweet a few moments ago that should make us feel very good about our position with him. Someone tweeted to him something negative about USC and that he should come to Clemson to play for championships. He replied that USC played in the bowl game with a brand new staff and a team full of freshmen. He then said "They are building something special at USC. Trust me." That's a very good sign.

![]() That is definitely positive considering this couldn't be a worse PR week for us considering we've done nothing wrong to get any negative attention.

![]() XT sure knows how to play the recruiting game. He keeps all eyes on him. Furthermore he keeps everyone guessing with little throw ins like that. Says a positive, then something that could be perceived as a negative followed by a positive. It's a great way to make both teams feel like they have to keep pursuing him and he isn't a take yet. Another ability of his that is undeniable is his gift for football. He will be the cornerstone of the 2018 class.

![]() The world we live in. This is normal for teenagers.. they grew up with social media. It's part of the recruiting game now.
