Clemson Game Thread

We should rush the field against Liberty next year.

This is when you hate sports and being an SU fan..

Not just no but hell no. We weren't suppose to win this game. We lost by only 4 points. We are 4-1 with 7 more games to go. It was a competitive, close game. I'm proud of the team.

My only ref complaint is the spots. Awful. Nothing major.

I feel like 90% of questionable spots have gone against us since 2013.

 

[Mayhem_OJ]

We ddn't blow anything. We just got beat by a really good team.

Actually we blew the lead! So what if they’re good!

Two terrible penalties cost us this game. The penalty on 4th down that had zero impact on the game, and that last one was nothing that hasn't been done all game. BS

They need to change that rule if it has zero impact on the play. That said, he was a good 6-7 yards down the field. Why?

 

[Orangefan1]

Refs gave them the win we have nothing to be ashamed about

Other than the obvious false start and holds on punts, were there any flags on Clemson?

Maybe one illegal man downfield call?

 

[Entropic]

Am I the only one that thinks we still should have gone for it on 4th and 6?

Dino was conservative in Clemson territory much of the game. Started in the first quarter. You aren’t winning at Clemson kicking fgs.

They gave us a 3rd string QB and plenty of field position turnovers. We were not aggressive enough.

You weren't there in 2015. I sat in the stands while watching them beat our asses like red-headed step children. My son was never so dejected; that loss was humiliating.

The ending stings that we didn't have that final drive/chance. I guess it is true payback, as we did that to them last year, when we ran out the clock.

Nope.

Clemson totally dominated the second half on both line of scrimmages. We couldn’t stop the run and Dungey had no time to throw. The jump pass penalty was the play that determined the game. The key to the season is getting a win at Pitt. If we are as good as we hope, we need to go there and win. Good effort today, but Clemson is the better team. They wore us down in the second half.

 

[Mayhem_OJ]

Well at least they know they belong! Can’t let this L drag into next week. 5-1 wouldn’t be so bad

 

[sdhall01]

We were -25 point underdogs. We played a hell of a game. Let’s be happy.

 

[NKR1978]

I know this is dumb but I feel like I would've preferred a 14 point loss to this.

You’re wrong. I thought that too. But then I remembered how I felt two years ago there.

3 flags. One until the last 6 mins. I thought Riley got grabbed on that third down.

We led for 90% of the game. It was our game to lose.

 

[dasher]

One thing, we can't end the game with two time outs in our pocket, We should have been using them when it was clear that they would at least get a FG

 

[RandomGuy]

They do every game and sing the school anthem.

Well, screw them.

He did. Looked pretty clear to me.

 

[CuseCPT]

Those games don't really stick with me. I honestly don't remember anything about it. But I remember Tennessee. And Indiana and Arkansas in hoops. These kind of losses linger.

It was weird. So many 3rd and short plays we should've passed but chose to run and got stuffed. Then this 4th down we should've run and passed. I know the play worked but that penalty doesn't get called on a running play or QB sneak.

Those team’s underperformed. This team is just getting started. I almost feel bad for Pitt.

He did and the ref acted like he was looking the other way!

Brilliant.
