Offensive Gameplan.. .

I agree with most of that. The coaching was awful. The coaching has been awful for a long time. Clemson’s scheme was even more thought out than that though. They knew we’d shoot gaps and their OL froze to let guys pass. We’ve never even attempted that. There’s never been a bigger display of being out coached than this game.
How many easy balls would King have had if we played two TE sets on the LOS all game. We could’ve mixed it up having them block, run routes, and switching it up. Venerial’s would’ve stopped blitzing immediately and it would’ve opened the run game.

You're exactly right, they attacked the short edge all night. Double te inline would have completely changed the way they could attack.

They would be "best matches" if it was only against their LBs. They bracketed Jordan and instead dared us to throw against 1x1 coverage against Pope, harley etc.
We still had the rbs against their lbs. No wheel, or arrow route with the Rooster after Brevin takes the coverage out of the picture. There were plenty of ways to attack without even throwing the wrs the ball 1 time.
 
Watching Kings highlights from Houston he seemed to hit on plenty of deep balls. Of course those are highlights, but still. It almost seems like he's trying to throw too perfect of a pass instead of just letting it fly. like others have said we just don't have the WRs. Pope and Harley both too small get bullied too easily and don't have the technique, speed, or hands to mask their lack of size.
 
Its not about formations...we didnt do anything to try to get a favorable match up. Instead we kept going over and over again to the match uos that we weren't winning...inside run and wr vertical route outside the hash. We didnt try a single RB screen...something you usually do against preasure....tried two WR screens....didn't move the pocket at all. Just sat there static waiting for the preazure to get to King. Didnt try throwing to our RB's...a match up we could win...nothing. We just played right into what they were doing.
We didn’t have a match up that could win. We talked it up on the board a lot but Venables showed you the truth, lashlee saw it too. His track record is proven. When the offense looks like THAT it’s because he knows he doesn’t have the horses
