Why do we run when they stack the box...then run a sweep to the short side of the field...then run a screen on a 3rd and long...we just look incredibly bad so far. I was for sure that we would open with a PA or come out in a spread set.

We're in good shape. Whenever we get negative yardage on 1st down it obviously puts us in a bad spot. I figure next time we get the ball we go to a bubble screen to Julio or get Mark an ISO play to push the pile 2-3 yards and get 2nd and manageable.

Next play for Arky coming up..wouldn't surpise me if they took a shot downfield on the first play. Gotta get in 15's face.

remember clemson's start last week over auburn
milliner was the only one to play man to man, everyone else was zone
poor tackling by 37
can we say nerves
we'll see if it's lack of preparation as the game goes along or it is simply nerves and ark being sky high
