It bears repeating:
"Smith was also a key reason why the Bulldogs limited Clemson to just two rushing yards. Clemson’s longest run of the night came when Smith actually had his helmet ripped off by a Clemson offensive lineman."
Clemson: TWO net rushing yards, fans...TWO. Says it all.
What got lost in the excitement of that first sack is that he was getting absolutely mugged by the LT. It's notable because it was a pretty obvious flag for the refs not to throw, but also because it didn't even matter!
I saw gobs of holding on the Clemson OL. Never called. Our defenders past the O_lineman and they're reaching out from behind to try to corral our guys. BAMA and Clemson seem to get away with that crap.
