Run vs. GT’s Awful Rush Defense? Clemson Fails To
When Clemson needed to most, it failed to run the football effectively against one of the nation’s worst run defenses.
In Saturday’s matchup against Georgia Tech, the Tigers struggled mightily on the ground and were unable to generate any kind of rushing attack against a porous Yellow Jackets defense.
Tigers freshman quarterback Tait Reynolds broke off a 24-yard run on the game’s second play from scrimmage. And when he went down with a knee injury on the third play of the contest and did not return, Clemson desperately needed its running game to step up, stabilize the offense and provide production to help out backup quarterbacks Christopher Vizzina and Trent Pearman.
