There was a previous thread about how many did UGA rush (they dropped 8), made me curious so I watched the first half again and here is what they did on every Clemson offensive play. They only dropped 8 once.
1st series plays:
1. 4 man front / rush 6 / run up the middle stuffed by blitzing LB 2. 4 man front / rush 4. ML rushes / LDE in coverage with TE / pass hits D lineman in head 3. 3 man front / dropped 8 / 71 bulrushed / no help from LG or back / DJ steps into pressure
2d series:
1. 4 man front / rush 4 / PI
1. 4 man front / rush 4 / pass to 8 in the flat 2. 4 man front / rush 5 LOB line stunt / 8 open went inside 5 threw it outside 3. 4 man front 3 down 1 up (19 on edge) / rush 5 / 17 (blitz) makes sack off right edge
—— end of 1st Q
1. 5 man front / rush 4 RDE drops / incomplete to 88 2. 4 man front / rush 5. LML rushes / 20 1yd gain - ankle tackle by G88 on ground 3. 4 man front / rush 4 with blitzes off the edge / incomplete to 8 (bad timing)
Turnover on the punt…
1. 4 man front / rush 4 / #1 run off left tackle gain of 2 2. 4 man front / rush 4. / #5 rolls right, complete to 8 - 1st down
1. 4 man front / rush 4 / run off right tackle gain of 3 (Will Taylor QB) 2. 4 man front / rush 4 / pass complete to #88 gain of 4 3. 3 man front / rush 5 / int for GA TD / #8 ran what looked like a curl kinda stopped, DJ thru to where he would have been if he kept going. D back broke on the pass
1. 4 man front / rush 4 / pass incomplete to #88 over the middle/ pass to right of where receiver sat 2. 4 man front / rush 4 / pass complete to #10, 1st down
1. 4 man front / rush 4 / CU#71 is 7 yards in the backfield getting beat / pass incomplete to no one 2. 4 man front / rush 4 / dumps to #20, who falls down could have gotten a 1st down 3. 4 man front (2 down, 2 up) / rush 5 / complete to #10, 1st down (note: this is the route Ross should have run, driving in front of the defender).
1. 3 man front / rush 4 / pass incomplete (DJ threw it wide out of bounds) 2. 4 man front / rush 4 / incomplete DJ in the grasp by Ga#88 up the middle, CU#77 was beat, ran right past Pace, not sure if he is supposed to help. 2 receivers open. 3. 3 man front / rush 4 / #5 threw to nobody between 2 receivers 4.
