of the ACC Conference Championship game, which was a vast improvement over Bama 2012 and Clemson 2018. The 2012 Bama game started with Bama going 5 plays, 82yds for a TD, ND 3 and out, Bama 10 plays, 61 yds for a TD. Bama was up 14-0 with the ball 10 minutes into the game. Against Clemson 2018, the score was 3-3 after the first quarter, but it was clear our bungholes were puckered up pretty tight right out of the gate. Book and Dexter both fumbled and Claypool dropped a gimmee all within the first 5 offensive plays. I'm trying to draw some hope from the fact that in the ACC CG we actually looked competent for most of the first quarter.
