I just mean that they never really progressed as the season continued. Banks was good, sure, but Donovan and AT were way too inconsistent when it mattered the most. Some of that is on Sam and the O-Line, but not all of it. Key inexplicably being underutilized is probably on Clawson. Morin just kinda is who he is?I think the WRs did improve significantly. Let's not forget where Greene and Banks were a year ago. But QB and OL got worse and RB and TE was pretty much the same.
This guy gets it!Face it, we're a cross country school
Clawson post press conference clearly stating defense has been the achilles heel all season. The close losses this year on the coach.
Also had the ball w chance to win vs State and Dook and pooped the bed. Remarkably unclutch this year in every close game we had.As bad as the defense was you had the ball in Clemson territory with a chance to drive for a game-winning field goal could never get in field goal range. You had two possessions against North Carolina one inside the 10 and another driving for a game-winning field goal couldn't get the field goal attempt either time. This game all you needed was the first down. and Louisville was a complete offensive breakdown so to act like our seven and five record was all on the defense it's just not accurate and holding what should be an elite offense completely unaccountable.

Sure, he mentioned he's as tired as he's ever been at the end of a season as well and I'm sure the team is given their performances since the meltdown during the Louisville game.Defense is absolutely a problem but this team had a NUMBER of problems and coaching is not immune to the discussion. There were some bone-headed decisions by a guy in his 9th year.
It's absolutely on him. We fired our DC and some defensive staff last year, but ended up with a worse record.Clawson post press conference clearly stating defense has been the achilles heel all season. The close losses this year on the coach.

Who is holding the offense completely unaccountable, Chris? That's a strawman.
It’s obviously a talent problem on defense, we’ve got to recruit better on that side of the ball. I think Lambert is probably a pretty good DC, but we’ve got to get better horses on that side of the ball.It's absolutely on him.
