You can't stop everything. Hokie defense only allowed 52 yards to Clemson's RBs which is really quite amazing considering the talent they have at RB.

And Cornelson put together a good offensive gameplan. We couldn't go toe-to-toe with their DL. We needed to run away from them, not at them.

When the stats show you had more first downs and total yards against your opponent, then your gameplan was successful.
We lost the turnover battle (-3) and that usually spells doom.
