Clemson Game Thread

Difference so far?

Our special teams are better.
Our big-time receivers.
Coaching.

 

[Qbobby]

Clemson is averaging 93 yards per punt? And we thought our specials were good ...

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!

Uh, they've been playing base because of the threat in the air, they are going to load the box early and hope they can get them behind the sticks and pressure the backup into mistakes.

Gotta keep preventing the big plays.

The 12 yard gains are annoying but at least they aren't 50 yard TDs.

My god how about a round of applause kudos for Taj Harris

Don’t want to be greedy, but really want to get a 3-and-out to start the 3rd.

 

[Halfmooncuse]

Yup it’s Going to be run run run short pass run run run short pass for Clemson

Chris Slayton making a case for the top 3 rounds.

 

[McNabb2Brominski]

I'd imagine Clemson will come out pissed in 2nd half...we will need to hold the line.

 

[NKR1978]

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

I don’t think this is a fluke. Last year was a fluke. It was a sign of things to come but a fluke.

We can play with these guys. And we have young talent making plays. And veterans playing to make their mark on our program.

One word comes to mind now:

BELIEVE!

Plus, puts more plays in the hands of the freshman and the opportunity for mistakes.

 

[ForCuseSake]

How about Custis & Butler making ginormous plays on the 2nd quarter.

Pheckin Brilliant!!

 

[DMDMD]

Defense doing what its supposed to. Bog them down until their drives fizzle out, no big plays. Offense needs TDs to really put the boot to their neck.

 

[OburgOrange]

Hope Dino didn’t wake these guys up at the end of the half

I hope it never gets forgotten, in future success, how important it was for Dino to come to cuse in a time where Dungey was our QB and Slayton headed our D. Dino’s a better coach for the heart and “leave it on the field” mentality some of our vets who bought in inmediately already had.

 

[Halfmooncuse]

Some nice grabs by our wide receivers

I don't know - if Brice comes out at QB, I'd sit on the short stuff and bring pressure. I don't want him to be able to complete a few easy throw and build confidence/get comfortable

 

[newmexicuse]

nobody taking about szymt, he has made em all and their guy missed, that is a huge difference in the game !!!

 

[ColoradoB]

Another glorious tidbit:

The first half took only 1.5 hours!!

You have no idea how funny that is. The game vs Western Michigan went so long that it cut into half of the first quarter of the Colorado/Colorado State game and a lot of Colorado fans were livid that SU/WMU kept throwing the ball. They missed 2 early touchdowns.

 

[Toga]

Lesson - only throw hard to catch balls to Custis.

 

[NateW]

Sam Adams ‘76 is incredible

A little hops’ll do ya

You can’t think like that. It isn’t t a vacuum.

He told our guys he believes in them and he’s not afraid of anything Clemson brings.
