Clemson - NC State: Failed Blitz Examination

This was originally going to go into the defensive film review Alex and I did, but for whatever reason diagramming the play slipped my mind. Here we're going to look into a blitz that Venables called consistently last Saturday vs NC State as well as why the blitz did not work in this particular game. (All game images via tigerray/ESPN)

Let's start with the look NC State is in, trips formation to the field. Clemson is aligned in the DOD, with three players on the strong side showing blitz.
