It was pointed out throughout the telecast by Herbstreit.
In game 1 (Nov 7th), Clemson went out "all blitz" up the middle and the sides. Both the interior and sides blitz PASSED the Line of Scrimmage. The blitz was picked up by K Williams and company. In addition, it allowed Ian to roll out of these blitzes and made him a runner.
In game 2, Clemson blitz up the middle and the sides. However, on the sides, they kept and stayed close to the line/home. Think they called this the "pinch" on the telecast. This forced Ian to stay in the pocket. When he tried to scramble to the sides, the DE was there to take him down.
What was odd to me was that, K Williams was not needed as much to block as much. In fact, after painfully reviewing the telecast, in many instances, K Williams had NO one to actually block. He sat in the pocket in front of Book.
I bet BAMA is watching this tape. Hopefully, Kelly and Rees will make the proper adjustment to have K Williams sneak out between the lines and throw some middle screens. This would have worked beautifully against Clemson blitzes... but, we didn't adjust our offense....
