My response to a Miami youtube saying our LB and Sec suck

Not really a bad analysis until he starts talking about our LBs and Secondary. Says our DL is comparable so this was my response:
You were doing ok until you mentioned that 3/4 of our defense was AWFUL. Could not be more wrong. Sure our front four is a big part of our great defense but you can't have a GREAT defense without good LBs and a good secondary. We have had many coverage sacks this year and have very good LB, CB, and safety play.
Now, let's compare our AWFUL LBs and secondary against Miami's since you mentioned that the front four on both are about the same:
Scoring defense: Miami # 15 Clemson # 4 . (now let's get to the ugly part) Passing yards allowed: Miami # 44 Clemson # 9 Rushing yards allowed: Miami # 47 Clemson # 14 3rd down Total defense: Miami # 41 Clemson # 6
Finally, 3rd down percentage conversion allowed: Clemson is # 6 whilst Miami isn't even in the top 50. Yikes, Eastern Michigan, Kent State, Texas St, and UTSA are all better.
If our LBs and secondary are f'ing terrible then what does it say about Miami's? Especially considering we've played a bunch of the same teams and played a better out of conference schedule with Auburn and USC compared to ND and I don't know who.
You guys might win because you have a good overall team but I just think you are flat out wrong about our defense. Couple other names to consider: Ryan Carter (CB and part of that awful secondary that had a pick six last week), Mullens (CB who was a top Florida recruit and is awesome, Simmons - a freak athletic kid from Florida and tuffest hitter on the team). Finally a really good LB named Joseph - you'll hear his name a lot tomorrow.
Cheers and good luck. I like the direction of your program and your coach. This might not be your game though - maybe a tad too early.

That's precisely why they're undefeated yet not higher than #4.

You were really being nice to him in that response. No way Miami is blocking our defense. Add them being down two of their best playmakers and this has the recipe for a beat down.
Their qb has struggled mightily the last two weeks and that team is really limping to the finish line while Clemson is hitting their stride. Barring turnovers and injuries Clemson should win this game by 2+ scores and probably more than that

I actually watched this video last night. I knew he was full of #### 2 minutes in when he said Kelly Bryant is a very accurate passer, but not very fast.
The only thing he got correct was about Tanner Muse in coverage. I don’t think he’s garbage, just young and developing.

Richt knows how to coach against us, and is loaded with talent like us. I think the difference-maker is the fact that we've been on the big stage many times and know how to handle it. This is Miami's first trip to the big stage in a LOOOONNNNNG time.
