No one consistently stopped Georgia Tech the way Clemson did with Brett Venables. Our defense under BV just completely shut them down! Why? Because it’s about being disciplined. It’s assignment football.
We saw that discipline again yesterday. We showed pressure but repeatedly dropped into coverage and rushed only 4 sometimes only 3 and smothered the ND receivers and TEs while also containing Book by NOT being over aggressive.
I don’t recall Book rushing for more than a few yards on a single play and I don’t think he converted a 3rd down on a scramble.
Our offense is playing great as the OL rounds into shape but we are the number 1 team in the country because we are the only team that seems to play defense. The SEC is starting to look like the Big 12.
