. The second half of this statement has no bearing on the first. Clemson’s OL looked pretty mediocre. UGA did pretty much what Ohio State did Iin The CFP last year, but last year’s Clemson had the number 1 overall draft pick at QB and a much better RB. I was honestly shocked at how pedestrian Clemson’s skill players looked. Georgia had a lot to do with it, but there was not a single offensive player for Clemson that passed any kind of eye test. UGA D made them look worse because they got after it.

Defensively , Clemson has a good DL, but the LBers are just Ok, and no one on the back end stood out at all, even against a bunch of UGA backups. It was a good win against a good, but not great, team.
