N. C. State joined Carolina getting blistered on defense giving up 51 points to a team that was bigger stronger and faster. That is a bad combination we you line up against a team that is better than you. State's last gasp was the fumbled punt by Mississippi State ruled interference on State, which was the worse call of the night. Still State could not get to their quarterback while their defense had no problem getting to ours.
This new style offense of passing to wide receivers and another receiver blocking has to be officiated better when the blocker is across the line of scrimmage before the ball it caught. Even Rocky Mount faced almost every game this style passing attack during the playoffs. When the defense does a good job it is hard to hold any play to five yards.
Clemson has eased any pain suffered by the ACC by getting the ACC their second team in three years in the National Championship game. Once Clemson clinched the ACC championship game they went on cruise control on defense but against Oklahoma they showed everyone they will be a load for Alabama
It is obvious that both State and Carolina in order to get to elite status in the ACC they have to get athletes on defense that can cover those receiver on the sideline and then run and stay with wide receivers when they run slants or deep patterns. I don't care what level it is I hate seeing a defender running about a step behind a receiver and has no idea where the ball is.
So Clemson carries the ACC banner. They represent the conference that the team I love plays in and I know for many of you your team is in the ACC. We all need to pull for Clemson because any ACC win is good for all of it's conference members.
