Lawrence announced as Clemson starter / Bryant transferring

[TigerSmith]

for Syracuse game.

Tigernet trolls started yammering for the change while Lawrence was still in high school.

Should make things more interesting. Wonder what Vegas thinks?

In case you wonder, Bryant will still come in for the third series (Dabo didn't say that. I did.)

Looks like "Sunshine" from Remember the Titans.

Fresh meat. He will be Tom Savaged.

 

[Trueblue25]

Robinson and Colemen show no prejudice in their dominance

 

[44PRIDE]

Not gonna lie, there's a side of me that wants to see Lawrence vs Devito. Freshmen Phenom vs. Freshmen Phenom...

 

[DeGrozz]

If Bryant doesn't play the rest of the way out, I think there could be a lot of very good teams looking at him for a 5th year grad transfer for 2019.

 

[WinRoadGame]

I hope we blitz alot. I choose being aggressive than sitting back and playing soft coverage sending 4 everytime. Mix it up and send the heat!

 

[Whitey23]

I was told talented QBs won't commit to schools that already have talented QBs!

 

[FRANKIEFAN]

This is awesome.

Bryant was going to manage the game and not make any mistakes and their RBs would be used to beat us. Now we got a kid who might over think things and hurt his team. Sure he'll make a throw or two but a couple turnovers could be the difference.

If he shreds us he shreds us.

If Slayton and Alton want NFL gigs, this is their game to prove it. You do it on the big stage away from home, you will be recognized.

Must drop hammer.

Dabo didn't believe they could keep pace scoring with SU. So, the game will be uptempo, advantage Orange.

 

[TheCusian]

He's very good. We'll need a strong pass rush combined with a nice mix of coverages.

Nope. Bryant is a senior and did not redshirt. He's done after this season.

We only toyed with the idea of dirting our SR QB in favor of a more talented thrower. Does that hurt the team's psyche at all? Does it split the team any?

 

[DNABB5]

Just watched their game vs Tech. Damn. Kids got a cannon and touch. Some paralells with Tommy are there for sure.

One thing we can both say is it will be fun watching both these kids develop over the next 3+ seasons.

 

[PAcuse]

This is bad news for us.

 

[TheCusian]

[FRANKIEFAN]

This is bad news for us.

No, its not. It shows panic and that they are scared to lose to us twice in a row. They don't trust the senior who has won them all those games to manage the game vs us. THey feel they need a playmaker to get past Cuse and outscore our offense.

Pretty much they think we will hit 30 or so points if they are making this move because Lawrence is who you want to hang 40+ on a team. They are prepping for a shootout. If I were them I'd wait until your past the team who beat you last year to make this official. They are the home team and should want to beat us at their game (run and try and have a lopsided time of possession to tire our D.)

Now... if we play like crap and get blown out the final score will probably be a bit uglier than if Bryant had started but that is just one scenario and I am not sure it will happen.

The pain train is coming and its next destination is him.

This kid broke all of Deshaun Watsons highschol passing records in Georgia. It's not panic, the kid is just that good.

Would they be making the move this week if the opponent was a big name school?

Say they were playing FSU and FSU had given them their only loss the year before (and wasn't in the gutter) do they make the switch week 5 because of a good game vs GT?

I'm aware hes good but its gonna be his first start. He'll make some plays but he might make some big mistakes too. Bryant wasn't going to make mistakes after losing to us last year.

 

[OttoinGrotto]

Cisco is going to get interception number 5 against Lawrence.

Market. Down.

I'm pretty sure this is not why the change was made...
