Pittsburgh is not the greatest tape to evaluate Clemson's OL. Starting LT was already hurt...then the backup was lost for the season on the first snap. They had a Chinese fire drill for everyone but the center to get through this one.
Pitt game Clemson lost LT (Freshman backup in) on first play. They moved Blake Miller RT to LT and reshuffled the entire line. Two other starters were out. This is why it was the worst Clemson blocking game of the year. Love the channel, congrats on being on set with Finebaum.
THATS A FACT not the same oline that will play vs texas and you can't judge that game we had lots of injuries not capehart as well lake depth on dline and oline was down to almost walkons
@@williammasters1620 one of their stars would be sitting on our bench bro. Literally. Mukuba. He transferred from Clemson to Texas because he lost his starting spot and got put on the bench by a better safety.
I agree. It probably will be like our game against Arkansas - Low scoring in the 1st half but Texas is in control as we contain Klubnik like we contained Taylen Green then we grind it out on the ground by running downhill in the 2nd half as Clemson’s defense tires since they have limited depth.
I, like you, wasn’t sure which game to watch, so I picked the SC game. Klubnik has an arm, but I didn’t see him put touch on any ball, and he didn’t attack MOF. He threw the fade rly well, but I thought it was obvious that Clemson knew they couldn’t pass protect, because everything was quick concepts. I do think Klubnik’s pretty still in the pocket, which could be a really big issue for them which how Texas covers. The QB rolling left, imo, has everything to do with the hips. Hips have to be more violent when rolling left, so balls jump more. Rolling right makes it harder to rip/snap the hips and generate tons of velo.
You’ve said it before about the throwing motion being about transferring energy. It starts in the lower half driving first and then the shoulders that create the arm whip. The baseball term is hip and shoulder separation. When you roll left you have energy from being on the move as well as being able to create more hip and shoulder separation than you normally could. That’s why the ball jumps.
Texas limited multiple dual threat QBs this year - Diego Pavia at Vandy, Taylen Green at Arkansas, Marcel Reed at Texas A&M, and Michael Hawkins, Jr at Oklahoma. We struggled against Gunner at Georgia I think because we weren’t prepared for him since he had limited film to study and we were focused on stopping Carson Beck.
Great analysis Brooks. I agree. Texas doesn’t consistently run downhill at people. We always try to go side to side or around the edge. That doesn’t work against fast outside linebackers like Georgia has. We did a better job of running at people in the Kentucky game I think and we need to do it against Clemson.
23:00 it doesn’t help that their play action blocking scheme was to pull two linemen. If they had a standard protection they may have been able to get to an out and ip
Walker parks #64 is a true guard not a tackle but we had no other tackle to play so we had to move him out he doesnt have the feet for tackle and it showed for 2 games. I didnt think our line was gonna hold up but they made it through and the starter came back for the south carolina game and they held there defense in check
Georgia has several dudes up front then their linebackers are so fast they clean everything up. Georgia’s defense has the best front 7 Texas has faced all year in my mind, no doubt.
If Clemson goes 5 down in the box they better have lockdown guys on the outside. Texas has been killing teams with the pseudo screen passes to the outside that play like option pitches.
Clemson lost the backup left tackle the 1st play of the game and they was down 3 Oline this game won’t be the same group vs Texas but I do believe Texas is very legit upfront!
The reason why they could block is cause everyone was out of position cause we had 2 starters down and then our lt went down with acl tare on firat play. Our center just isnt great with his feet
The mukuba closes space you can beat him over the top. He doesnt have elite speed. Maybe great closing speed but you can beat him if he over commits He lacked that at clemson
The thing is time. Texas defensive front is really good. There is a reason why teams can’t go deep on them. Good thing about it though is Klubnik may be able to give you a little more time ,
Barron and Taft have plenty of speed to make up for Makuba's relative (he's not slow or anything) lack of it. Safeties don't need a ton of speed though due to the way they play. It's about reading the field and timing for safeties and Makuba is elite at that.
@@-LuckyU- First string has been out but, second (Blue), 3rd (Wisner) and fourth (Gibson) have been available. The 2nd and fourth just fumble too often. That's why Tre is now 1st when he was actually 3rd or 4th starting the year.
@@-LuckyU- Baxter is the 1st string I mentioned. Clark (a pass catching change of pace back) was not ahead of anyone except Gardner. Clark was at least 4th string, I believe he was 5th string. Order I remember starting the year was the duo of 1st Baxter (ACL) and 2nd Blue as the main starters. Then it went 3rd Wisner (experienced backup), 4th Gibson (significantly higher rated than Clark coming out of high school), 5th Clark (Achilles), 6th Gardner (Eye Injury). Clark was essentially Blue's backup and Gibson / Tre were Baxter's backups. Baxter was supposed to be the bell cow 3 down back and Blue the 3rd and long or passing situation back. Same as the Washington game last year.
But great offense has texas faced all year have they been truly tested? Im not meaning that as in there not good there great but have they been tested outside of uga??
I think texas is good, but it's worth pointing out horns beat worst six teams in conference and 8th place tex am... most all of those offenses are putrid. And texas just lost to a backup qb.
@@253332 It's not worth mentioning. Texas A&M trucked LSU and Missouri with identical conference records and should be ranked higher than either. If Texas didn't beat A&M, they were going to face Georgia in the final. Regardless doesn't matter. The playoffs will speak for themselves. I would've loved to have played the remaining teams in the SEC and shut all of your loser mouths but we can only play so many teams and we were undefeated except for Georgia. Better than Tennessee, better than those other top SEC teams that lost to multiple teams we beat. Tennessee lost to Arkansas Alabama lost to Vandy and OU Missouri got trucked by A&M LSU lost to both Florida and A&M I could do this all day. Say what you will about Texas SOS which was 20th btw, higher than Tennessee's 28th because we didn't play high school teams to start the year. But we played to a standard that meant only elite teams have beat us so far. Georgia could win a natty with that backup QB. It's never been a team that demanded much from Bennet or Beck especially when their defense is humming along. www.espn.com/college-football/fpi/_/view/resume - SOS rankings, see it for yourself Aside: And if you're a Clemson fan, you lost to the 4th or 5th best team in the SEC at home... if you beat Texas, it's an upset. Your defense is very talented but young, your offensive line is average / has no stars. You will need to shut down our offense and win off Klubnik's legs. It's not impossible but good luck.
@@253332 Texas defense did everything it needed to be able to win the game (aside from the brain dead missed block on the interception). The offense and special teams failed them in spectacular fashion.
Texas is not the best defense in the country. Sorry, not sorry. You racked up those great defensive stats Agatha bottom of the SEC. Definitely, most certainly not the best defense in the country. Are they good? Of course they are. Are they elite? No, I’d say they are very good.
To say Texas' defense isn't elite proves you know nothing. Texas defense will graduate Alfred Collins who will likely go in the rounds 2-3, Vernon Broughton prolly another 3rd rounder, Jermayne Lole could get drafted and he doesn't even start, Barryn Sorrell has 4.5 sacks he's a late round sort of guy, Ethan Burke (larger edge) if he decided to go would be a round 4-6 kinda guy, the edge Tre Moore is a round 4-5ish talent, he had 14.5 sacks last year at UTSA and was the 4th rated edge in the transfer portal this past year. The other edge Collin Simmons is a true freshman that could be a first rounder by the time he leaves, Jahdae Barron the corner won the Thorpe award (best corner in football), he's a round 1-3 kind of guy. The other corner who QBs rarely even throw at is a sophomore but will likely be as good as Jahdae in the future (I mean the fact that they choose to throw at Jahdae instead of facing Malik Muhammad says it all), Derek Williams is out for the year due to an ACL but he's more physically gifted than Makuba and a great cover guy (100% certain NFL future if he returns healthy), Taffe the safety and former walk-on could be drafted round 5-7 if he leaves and is the highest rated defensive player this year by PFF, Makuba is a round 4-6 talent, Anthony Hill the LB is a 2nd rounder / Butkis level contender by next year but he's only a sophomore so we have at least one more year with him, the other LB could improve to the point of being an NFL-er but he's a redshirt sophomore so we have more time with him too. He's outplayed Gbenda who could be a late round draft pick. When you look at Texas' defense, everyone, at every position is NFL caliber. That's the definition of elite in college. Ohio State has a similar makeup, Georgia is similar. Those are elite defenses. Ole Miss has the best pass rushers but they're not as good in the back end. Tennessee is another balanced defense but their SOS was weaker than Texas' and they still had worse numbers. Who do you think is better? Notre Dame's front 7 is undersized. Penn State's front 7 is physically gifted but not as consistent as the other defenses mentioned. Oregon's defense has the same issue as Penn State's. I could do this all day.

This year will go down as the deepest front 7 class ever. There are so many teams with fantastic linemen/edges/ and LB's.
Great breakdown as always
Go Tigers, hopefully we have some type of run defense show up because it's hasn't been pretty

I think UT is going to ground control and play action on offense then let their UT defense eat
Texas ran it very well in the 4th quarter of the Arkansas game.
hey Brooks, wanted to tell you, you have a cool intro; I could listen to that beat for a few more minutes paired with more personal video clips

why are you choosing the pitt game as a reference for clemson. we had like 3 guys out on the o line that game

As a UGA fan I vote to call this game the Georgia's your daddy bowl
I don’t think this game will be that close.
4 of the 5 big games Clemson played this year their defense gave up over 400 yards.
35-17 Texas Rolls
