I enjoyed that qb strectch draw for a loss in the 2nd quarter.
 
I enjoyed the wonderful WR screen on 3rd and 3 trying to trick Clem who is very well coached on D losing 3 yards making the FG tougher. Maybe Jon made that call
 
If you gonna complain at least make it educated. Jeff Thomas sweep, pass from wildcat, and dumb throw back to berrios to name a few. Doesn’t matter we just not there yet this one is not on playvalling.

not new. seen them before. at least once
 
We had a few plays early that were new... recall the roll out that made Thomas wide open? Rosier throws it 10 yards deeper and that’s a TD. There were a couple of others that our O ****ed up (either Rosier couldn’t complete the pass or our line couldn’t block anyone.)

I expected the DeeJay wildcat earlier.

Btw, I think DeeJay is a special talent. Need to use him more.

As always, this wasn't about play calling it was about execution. The only difference is that tonight I'm not sure 100% execution would have won.

I always enjoy third down screens and the mangled thought process responsible for them. That was the most hilarious call in a night of scared finesse. It was like the coaching staff read all the threads on this site and brainstormed we needed to do anything except line up against Clemson and actually challenge them. Instead of hurry up and run the ball with authority up the middle we used weakling slow developing sweeps, apparently determined to emulate all the mistakes Notre Dame made against us.

The game basically wasn't worth watching. We would have gotten thumped anyway but when the coaching staff is dreaming up stuff like rugby punts with a stick mechanical freshman punter then you know we were frightened of the opponent to begin with and didn't think our base stuff would work.

Agree with what you said about us not winning even if we execute, but our play calling was unimaginative until the game was long decided. It's hard to grade Richt with Rosier as his starting QB. Clemson's defense looked like it had studied film on us for three weeks, and our offense looked like we read the Cliffnotes on their defense just before the game started.
