In 1 play....

In 1 play, the UGA defense scored more points than the UGA offense and Clemson offense, COMBINED the entire game. First games of the season are never indicative of how the season will turn out and typically offenses (especially our offense for some reason) is very rusty. DJ needs to find his rhythm and timing with the receivers. Our OL pulled out the rug from under him the entire game, as he had no time in the pocket. I don't care who you have in the pocket, when the DL is constantly in their face and you give up that many sacks, even Tom Brady would look awful. It is a game of momentum, and DJ was never given an opportunity to find it. With that being said, he needs to step up his running game as a scrambler when no receivers are open.

I believe we will adjust things, and run the table in the ACC. We are likely to have a few victories over ranked teams before the season is done. This is the first game of the season, I would much rather have a loss against a Top 5 opponent the first game of the season, than against a mid-tier team towards the end of the season like we had against Pitt in 2016 when we even went on to win the national championship. Dabo coaches and motivates best when the media and experts disrespect and doubt Clemson. Make no mistake, he will use this to his advantage if we make it to the CFP and all we hear is Clemson can't beat elite programs anymore.

"With that being said, he needs to step up his running game as a scrambler when no receivers are open."

He didn't run against Notre Dame (supposedly hurt). He sure as heck didn't run last night. If he's a scrambler, why has he not shown it? Exactly what is he waiting for? He had many opportunities to leave the pocket last night. My guess is he is inexperienced and simply has never seen a high powered defense like what he saw against the 'Dawgs. I also believe he is not a spry kind of athlete. He should be good for third and one and goal line situations (Why didn't he run even once at the five yard line?). Seems to me he is a pocket passer with a devastating arm. Give him time and he will kill you. Pressure him and he.....well, looks like he did last night. Other teams will emulate Georgia's game plan. Put as much pressure on him as possible, especially since Clemson's running game has disappeared over the last couple of years.
