Clemson defense has yielded 11 TDs this year
Oct 25, 2018, 11:50 AM

Only 5 of them are from drives lasting more than 50+ yards.
If we can improve punting and tighten up turnovers, then we should expect even more lopsided scores for the rest of the season.

Ugh...the punting

It really needs to improve.
On the other hand, our opponents can't return our punts because the punt coverage team only has to run 35 yards downfield.

This should be Spiers last year punting...

Aidan Swanson, the Nation's No. 1 punter and a 2019 Clemson commitment out of IMG who averages over 46 yards per punt, is already better than Spiers and will likely win the job.

We'll never know if it can improve if we never try the backup punter. Don't know what's going on there but it certainly is strange. Almost like his job is preserved in stone.

How many were against backup players when the game was over? NC State could not score against 1st string.

Long and not returnable punts.

Maybe it's just me, but...

it seems like every punter we face is better than the one we have and that includes the punters from schools like Furman, Georgia Southern, Kent State and the Citadel.

Here's how the 11 TDs break down:
Furman: 1TD. Garbage time TAMU: 3TD. Kellen Mond's prayers were answered. GSU: 1 TD. Trick play after an INT. Arguably garbage time(?) GT: 3TD. One off INT, 2 Garbage time Syracuse: 2TD. One 70 yard drive, one off muffed punt. Wake: 0 TD NCSU: 1 TD. Garbage time.
3 TDs off turnovers. 4 TDs in garbage time. 4 meaningful TD drives that began with a kick, 3 of which began in opponents territory, only one of which was before halftime.

Here you go. By quarter, Clemson's defense has given up.
1st QTR 9 points 10% 2nd QTR 17 points 18% 3rd QTR 20 points 21% 4th QTR 48 points 51%

Perhaps we could just bring in Mike Stoops and keep Venables as co-DC. We can't miss the opportunity to bring in a guy like Stoops while he's available. It worked out great for Oklahoma.

Even more impressive is that...

only TWO touchdowns have been scored against Clemson's D in the first half. One of them was after the weird interception gave GT the ball on our 22 yard line. Only Syracuse has had a legitimate TD drive against Clemson in the first half and that was with a busted coverage deep pass.
