Brent Venables: No 'magic elixir' to shutting down Georgia Tech

For Tiger fans, prior to Brent Venables arrival, facing a Paul Johnson led offense was something of a horror show. It always seemed that no matter the talent gap, his triple-option offense was the great equalizer.

Clemson defenders would get caught peeking into the backfield only to have a deep ball tossed over the top. Players would mix up responsibilities, leaving large running lanes for the Yellow Jacket running backs.

The margin of error is small.
