CLEMSON - The Tigers’ loss to the South Carolina Gamecocks was quite a shock. While there were a number of factors that contributed to it, defensive coordinator Wes Goodwin attributed part of the defeat to the lack of execution by the defense and a number of missed opportunities, particularly in the red zone.
“I feel like that was a big difference in the game, just giving up touchdowns in the red zone,” Goodwin said. “Fourth and four, I thought we had a great coverage call, and didn’t execute there. And on another one, we missed an opportunity for a sack and they scrambled for a touchdown.
