However this offense looks now, I really think they're only going to get better over the course of the year.
 
I don't understand why Dabo gets so cute against us.

They've thrown 25 times and run 13 times.

I know Etienne took a hit, but they could run all over us.
Clemson is attacking Cordy.
It will work if they continue. We have gotten lucky and will take it.
 
There will be some drops and some times Tommy misses guys. That’s normal ebbs and flows.

What’s not normal is the absolute inability to run a functional offense due to the dumpster fire OL play and our OC’s apparently refusal to scheme around it outside a couple plays to the RB on the second to last drive.

Also gotta acknowledge who we are playing and credit the defense.

If we get anything on the opening drive we will have a 1 possession game in the second half and you gotta take that.

I like what I see from Dome Tommy. Offensive line can only get better from here tonight we gotta hope these 5 can hang in there but guys might come back and youngsters might get a shot next few weeks. Need the WRs to step up having seen anything from either Johnson all year. More Benson and RB screens. I'd love to have some QB designed runs but hes on pace to get hit 15-20 times already tonight not sure how many more you can ask him to take without asking for trouble ie a banged up throwing shoulder or concussion.
 
So I liked when we ran tempo and hit Neal 2 times for big yards. You have to be able to read blitz tho.

I think he’s like Dino - he won’t run against certain looks even though it would work.

Right.

But Etienne came in averaging 9 yards a carry.
 
This team is doing now about as well as it can without an effective O Line. One thing we could try is to have DeVito run when he has time there's plenty of room when the line doesn't let him get smothered. I don't know if he even has time to drop back for a screen. Trying to think of what to do.
Receivers certainly have to CATCH THE BALL. The score would be different if several passes we're not dropped especially the pass in the end zone. We are a good team with a great D but no O due to the line.
 
He’s not looking up cause he’s under so much duress he wants to dump it off I get it. But the only way to make a play is to keep your eyes up downfield. And on that scramble he hadn’t plenty of time.

Agree. Just a lot easier to say it Hopefully he can just play Not play scared. Step up instead of away. Look up and down and don't worry about the sacks
 
I mean... the bar is REALLY low. I’d hope so.

Yeah, I know they don't look great now so my post, in retrospect, sounds obvious.
I just think, even with all the Clemson sacks, TD looks a lot more in control this game. And I'm optimistic that the OL will adjust.
