Their defense isn't awful


I watched the Arkansas and aTm games and their defense was awful…I’m sure they were impressive vs Mercer and NM St

Their defense isn’t great. It’s got good individual players and often plays sound concepts. But their LBs and Safeties are easily confused and overmatched with pre snap motion and audibles. Their DL is ok but not a strength; Turner and Anderson are great young players but Turner is just that and Anderson is being forced to play at a position he is undersized for (DE). That doesnt make it awful as a unit, it’s just vulnerable and has had those vulnerabilities exposed over 12 games.

By comparison, the offense is also not great (lacking a dominant OL and run game) but it’s been good enough to win them 11 games.

Well, I mean you are doing the same thing a lot of people do. You form opinions based upon one or two games. If we hand picked 1 or 2 select games of Clemson's how would that work out for you?

Saaaay, NC State and Pittsburgh? What would your opinion be? And don't come back with "NC State and Pitt were pretty good teams!" because Arkansas and Texas A&M were pretty good teams, too.

They are ranked higher than Clemson. Did you watch them against Ole Miss, Mississippi State, Tennessee, 3 of top 5 offenses in the SEC?

Held #1 SEC offense Ole Miss to less than 300 yards.

Held Mike leach MSU to less than 300 yards

Held Tennessee to 2/13 3rd down conversion and only 10 1st downs all game. Much better defensively vs UT than UGA.


You know UGA has the #3 rush defense in the country, well Alabama is # 4 .

Clemson and UGA are tied with 43 sacks on the year, 4th nationally guess who is # 3 ? Bama that's who. Guess who leads the nation in sacks? Will Anderson.

You should watch more football.


UGA has an elite defense, but not other worldly. Bama is still 2 scores better.
