Several big plays were drops.  As you note, there was no pocket (O-line breakdowns) to make things happen, some of the credit belongs  to Clemson.

TD does not call the plays, and the personnel were not there to lunch the ball in (O-line/Clemson).  If I recall, some passes were dropped and Clemson shut down some receivers, too.

I am not defending TD's mistakes but too many are blaming him for an outcome in which far more players, as some coaches, were involved.

I remind everyone that Clemson had a lot of input on what the Orange faced yesterday and to credit TD with all failures (or to blame TD and the O-Line) is to deny the number one team in the nation any credit in a great victory (from a Clemson perspective).  We will not face the likes of Clemson again this season.   None of us truly expected a win v. Clemson, we knew they were a juggernaught.

Be upset over the loss.  Get it out of your system.  There is a new game Saturday to prepare for this week.  Tomorrow is a new day, the past does not dictate the future, which is why the games must be played.
