"South Carolina’s offense did what Clemson’s offense REFUSED to do" ...

Interesting use of that word "refusesd" by Hood in the recently posted article. The article didn't seem to explicitly explain what he meant by that, but I think I know what he means. And, I think Streeter should know, but doesn't.

refused to come out of its shell from a play-calling standpoint. Being painfully and counter-productively predictable isn't a strategy, it's simply a habit.
I could be wrong, but it seems a very, odd, out of place wording to not mean anything in particular, or, in the alternative, to mean that we simply weren't productive like they were. He didn't say that Carolina's offense did what clemsons "couldn't," or "tried and failed at," etc. "Refusal" is not a synonym for coming up short, failing, etc.
Hood knows, just like the rest of us do, that there are a number of problems besides QB play... pass drops, ball security, etc. But he also knows those things aren't new, and that while you do the best you can in coaching them and hoping that those problems will resolve themselves from week to week, you ought not simply refuse to help yourself on every front as much as you can. How can we justify running between the tackles for 1 or 2 on ###(n) near every first down, fire example? Why refuse to utilize the middle of the field in short to medium passing routes? This is not the first week that defenses have had success in stopping our running game because they know that we can't pass. Why exercisue that by refusing to regularly run outside the tackles or toss the ball, but instead simply running off tackle and sending the QB on a delayed DJ-slow-mo run? Lame.
I could be wrong about what Hood meant. but that wording doesn't make sense if all it means
is that we weren't productive?

Rolled the QB out. Threw down the middle. Took shots down the field. Got the ball out to playmakers in space.

We finally took a shot at a time it was completely uncalled for to a TE covered. Made zero sense with the game on the line
