Clemson - North Carolina Play Analysis: Moving Pocket

For this edition of Play of the Week we are going to look at a play action pass Clemson ran over and over down the stretch vs North Carolina in the ACC Championship game. On a day where Clemson ran the hell out of the ball (56 carries) using play action to open up the downfield passing game made sense. Particularly when Gallman is averaging 6.7 yards per carry. He finished the day with 187 rushing yards, and added 68 receiving yards to the tally. Thank god Gallman got healthy while resting vs Wake, he was needed.

Clemson ran this play out of 11 personnel, with Leggett either aligned on the same side as Gallman or in the backfield.
