It’s as if some people think we have 2000-2001 era Players to execute well against quality offenses.

Exactly

Look at our UAB game...there are a few gems in that game from using 3 man fronts.

But hey...its strategic

Why not because that means he's getting hit in the backfield. Which is what i believe he was trying say about that matchup.

I would think if Bolden is trying to make a tackle he is in open field and tho he will get there, Etienne breaks a TON of tackles and Bolden sometimes likes to just dive and/or throw a chicken wing to tackle people, it can work on some but will not on Etienne, he needs to wrap up this game

Elite QBs love teams that blitz. It's just too easy for them to identify which receiver is going to be open. And if you have a QB that can scramble, he will murder you when blitzing and he escapes the pocket. Yes, TL will pick you apart if he has all day to throw. If you don't have good pass rushers, you don't really have a choice. Miami has excellent pass rushers. Play coverage, rely on the front 4.

Blitzing TL is foolish, he will get the ball out long before the DB on a delayed blitz hits him. All you will have accomplished is playing D with 10 players since the DB will be irrelevant.

BTW - Clemson fans thought they'd have an easy time with LSU because Venables blitzes would get home and rattle Burrows.

Well, it's easy to see why Clemson will beat LSU

Don't take the cheese. Bracket WRs, spy the QB, and force TL to go through all his reads.

TL still racked up a zillion yards against LSU. He's not getting shut down. I don't think any defense can do that. But what a D can do is force Clemson to have 7 minute drives to work down the field. At same time your offense is scoring with 4 min drives. At the end of the game, your offense will have had 3 or 4 extra possessions. That's how you win by 14 points in a shootout. If you keep blitzing, it's just a matter of time before TL burns you and gets a couple easy TDs with drives lasting less than 2 min.

Ugh, that kid is elite, best we've faced since Cook.

I'm just excited to watch Miami play in this game and see what our offense can do against this team. They will score, a lot and probably more than us, but I think we can score a lot too and I can't wait to watch it.

Yup, he is a special game breaker.. like a bush/cook type who actually came back to play his senior year.. how lucky of Clemson their guys come back..

Lashlee mentioned how venables defense has only allowed more than 28 points 3 times since 2017.. they are gonna have to bring it

I'd like to see our blitz totals by quarter. It's been pointed out that we've been pretty light's out in the first half this season. I wonder what the success ratio is on those blitzes for us.
