1. You're right regarding Y1, but I think a big part of that was getting the DBs set up to do what the scheme called for -- in-progress Cam Hart and Clarence Lewis were the starting outside corners there, don't forget.

2. I think the passing attack stuff was in part personnel driven. Against USC in '22 we were missing Hart and Bracy against a great passing attack, against Louisville we were down Gray and Morrison for most of the game, etc. Teams with 3+ great quality WRs are going to present a challenge for anyone as it's hard to have an equivalent number of great corners. We were close this year but losing Morrison was a killer.

3. As far as Clemson '23 I have a hard time blaming the D. They basically put 7 points up themselves, Hartman gifted Clemson 7 on a pick 6, Tyree muffed a punt inside ND's red zone, and the D got the offense the ball 6 straight times with a chance to tie
