I have a slightly different take on our scores being big plays rather than sustained drives. Since CTC left, it seems we seldom have had big plays anymore, and I thought this made us a dangerous and unpredictable team. In the past few years, it seems to me we never scored except on long drives, which meant that there were few long runbacks, interceptions or special teams big plays.
I see big plays as emerging talent on this team. Lord knows we need more talent than we’ve shown in the past few seasons. We sure as heck won’t be competitive next Saturday if we depend on long, sustained drives, although I’ll admit that the longer we keep the ball out of Clemson’s hands, the better off we are.
But really, the best and probably only chance we have of winning the Halloween game will be punt returns, kickoff returns, interceptions and turnovers.
