Clemson Game Thread

At first I was kind of happy with that TO but man after seeing Dabo after half, I think he'd livid at Dino right now. Not sure how much that matters but the gloves are coming off in the second half.

We already did do something to dispel the home team's assumption of controlling things: we're up two scores and knocked their QB out.
Clemson could have taken a knee and gone to the locker room (SU only had 2 TOs). They chose to try to pass, get a completion or two under their new QB's belt. It almost went comically bad, and the QB managed to flip it for an incompletion, which stopped the clock. Clemson saw enough and wanted to duck out of the half, but why should Syracuse let that happen? With a team reeling from the injury to the QB, the quitting of the previous QB and suddenly down to 3 on the preseason depth chart, why not see what happens? Maybe a frustrated RB tries to hard to break a tackle and fumbles? Maybe a punt return?

Sure, there was a chance for an 80 yard TD or something, but worrying about that is playing scared. Dino was showing confidence in his team and showing he was going to take every edge possible in taking on Clemson.

It is a small thing, but I loved it.
 
We haven't been good at stopping the run today. Dabo is going to run it down our throats with power football, I hope our D is up for challenge!

Yeah, they’ve been more effective on the ground which made me wonder why the Clemson OC called so many pass plays.

Did the same thing last year and that’s what got an already hurting Bryant knocked out of that game.
 
That early (unnecessary) timeout really helped set a tone. Killed a 3 and out. Then boom, we're moving the ball again.
 
Can we all just enjoy this, right now. Those who made it through the end of P, through Gerg, Marrone’s departure, hard nose HCSS...

I am soaking this up and cant wait to see if we can recapture the momentum in the 3rd
