Play-by-play of Melvin Ingram’s dominance against Auburn

Play one: Ingram lines up at right defensive end, over the tackle’s outside shoulder. Ingram splits a block by the tackle and guard and tackles the running back for a lost yard.
Play two: Lines up over the left guard and drops into short zone coverage. Closes up field pushing the ball carrier out of bounds. Auburn converted the first down but Ingram showed his athleticism.
Play three: Lines up outside the right tackle with his hand off the ground. Works a hesitation blitz that doesn’t get him much.
Play four: Lines up wide outside the right tackle. Gets too high in his pads to shed a block and the Auburn quarterback pulls the ball down and runs right at him. Bad play for Ingram.
Play five: Lined up over left guard, spins to the inside to quickly get the sack. Athleticism looks good. Spin isn’t Dwight Freeney violent but good.
Play six: Lines up outside left tackle, hand off the ground. Drops back to play the run, helps on the tackle. Shows solid instincts to close the angle.
Play seven: Again standing up outside the left tackle. Blocked by the pulling rigt guard, runner gets past him. Ingram uses his hands to smoothly disengage and take down the running running back.
Play eight: Standing up outside left tackle. It’s a pass play and Ingram drops into zone coverage. Looks light on his feet dropping a few yards, but seems tentative. The pass is made far behind him.
Play nine: Back to playing with his hand down over the left tackle. Drops off the line and moves to his left to make the tackle a couple yards up field. Nice job closing the running lane. Would have liked to see him get over the defensive tackle quicker. Could have saved a yard.
Play 10: Standing over the left tackle, spying the quarterback. Shows good discipline staying at home and not rushing the passer. Quarterback rolls to the left, Ingram moves with him to close in on the tackle.
Play 11: Back over the guard with his hand down. Tries the spin again and is a little stiff/slow in his movement. As the play breaks down, Ingram pulls back off the line and closes off the play side of the field.
Play 12: Playing over the tackle, is run at. Gets taken out of the play by the pulling guard. This is where you’d look for Ingram to drop back and move to the left where the run was developing.
Play 13: Standing up over the left tackle. Uses a quick push on the tackle and works to his inside to sack the quarterback. Ingram showed good closing ability, but this is on the tackle, whose fundamentals need work.
Play 14: Standing over left tackle, run play in his direction. Instead of quickly engaging and getting off the blocks, Ingram lets the blocker come at him with the running back right behind. Bad play for Ingram.
Play 15: With his hand down, Ingram goes unblocked and overruns the play with Auburn right in his direction.
Play 16: On a quarterback draw, Ingram is lined up over the guard and plays the B-gap. The quarterback just beats him to the hole and gets a first down.
Play 17: This is a great play by Ingram. He starts over the guard but moves to his inside shoulder. When the center tries to pick him up, Ingram swims him and disrupts the QB’s pocket. Quarterback got the ball out fine, but couldn’t set his feet because of Ingram.
Play 18: Fake field goal. Ingram drops and intercepts the throw. Nice play, somewhat inconsequential for analysis unless you’re looking at Ingram as a linebacker.
Play 19: Lined up with his hand down over the left tackle. Tries a bull rush and when it doesn’t work uses a spin move. Ingram gets free of the blocker and chases downs the quarterback. He barely misses a sack, but forces the quarterback to throw a bad on the move.
Play 20: Is lined up between the guard and center in the A-gap. Float right to the outside to play a screen. The quarterback floats the ball over Ingram’s head. While this was a completion, it was either great play calling or unbelievable instincts for Ingram. He could have dropped back a bit to break up the play, but even good players get beat.
Play 21: Lined up wide of the left tackle. Works to the inside, but Auburn is running a fake end around to his side. Ingram redirects and just smothers the quarterback. Part of that play is on the Auburn lineman (No. 77) who just doesn’t try to make a block selling the end around. Ingram’s movement is excellent, however.
Play 22: Playing over the A-gap again at tackle. Fires through the inside shoulder of the lineman. The play goes through the B-gap and Ingram is a non-factor.
Play 23: Standing up wide of the right tackle. The run play comes right in Ingram’s direction but plenty of other South Carolina players are in position to make a play.
Play 24: Again standing up outside the right tackle. The run play is in the left A-gap. Ingram works down the line to make the play.
Play 25: Over the right tackle standing up for the third straight play. Run goes to the left and Ingram quickly works behind the line to make the tackle.
Play 26: With his hand back down, Ingram is lined up between the right tackle and guard. He swims the tackle to the outside and disrupts the pocket so severely the quarterback has to adjust on the fly.
Play 27: Back on the left side, Ingram starts over the left tackle. A pulling guard is responsible for Ingram and blocks him just barely enough for the runner to get by. Ingram disengages and makes the tackle up field.
Play 28: Hand down over the left tackle. The running play slowly develops to Ingram’s side. This was a team play where Ingram didn’t necessarily do anything wrong, he just didn’t stand out.
Play 29: On this play, Ingram is playing with his hand down over the left tackle. He’s a step back. On the running play, the tackle stops Ingram before the play gets past him. Ingram shows good effort to get into the tail end of the play, but isn’t a factor on this one.
Play 30: Same alignment as the previous play, pre-snap. The left tackle quickly gets off Ingram as the run is developing in his direction. The guard picks up the block on Ingram and he’s driven out of the play.
Play 31: This is another run to the left where Ingram is playing with his hand down. The run goes wide of the left tackle and Ingram misses on a lunging tackle.
Play 32: Another run left with Ingram over the left tackle, his hand in the ground. The tackle tries to block Ingram, but the end get out and makes a tackle two yards up field.
Play 33: Ingram finally moves and is back inside playing the A-gap on the offensive line’s left side. Ingram is cut blocked and taken completely out of the play.
Play 34: Back to playing outside the left tackle for Ingram. The run comes just to his inside. The left tackle is drive blocking, so Ingram has to use his quickness to work off the block and get inside.
Play 35: Ingam is playing the A-gap again agains the run and spins one way and then the other. Neither work and Ingram is taken out of the play fairly easily. It’s half way through the fourth quarter at this point and you have to wonder if Ingram is tiring.
Play 36: Here Ingram is back on the right side standing up. The fullback picks him up and Ingram has little impact on the play.
Play 37: Lined up over the left tackle with his hand down. Auburn tries to run an option but the quarterback cuts back inside, right at Ingram. Ingram got off the block fine, but this was a bad move by the quarterback.
Play 38: This play has Ingram over the B-gap on the offensive line’s left side. It’s a running play in his direction, but Ingram is power blocked right out of the play.
Play 39: Here Ingram is speed rushing the quarterback to the wide outside of the left tackle. He doesn’t look incredibly fast at this point in the game, but is fast enough to beat the tackle, and close on the quarterback, who just barely gets rid of the football.
