I don’t think the 19 year old guys on our team watched Deion Sanders do anything but talk about NFL games on pregame shows.

I think a lot of these kids watch youtube videos of Deion because event he grainy old videos of him are breathtaking. He's truly a once a generation type of athlete.

Also what's the deal with the O-linemen blocking the guy diagonal from them and letting the guy in front of them have a free run to the QB/mesh point?

Makes no sense.

I think CPJ alluded to this in the call-in. From what I understand, we typically make our first read off of the first guy lined up at the 4-tech position or further out. (essentially, the first guy lined up across from or outside the p/s tackle.) Clemson was (at least from what I remember) lining up with a 3-4 config, with the DEs lined up in a 3 or 4i position and a OLB just outside of them. We were reading the DE, but he was so far inside that he could disrupt the mesh when unblocked and the OT wasn't in a spot to slow him up. (it seems like we typically slow their progress a little against a 4-3.)

I'd guess what we should've done was run midline (and force them to adjust), or read the OLB and have the OG take the DE. Then again, we also could've just simplified by running a belly series with designated gives / keeps.

It looked like we did some 14/15 which is a give to the b-back but still missed some blocks and also ran some 14/15 option which makes makes the #2 the give/keep read and #3 the pitch read.
