Clemson opens -16.5 over Cuse…..

[SUalldway]

Seriously, I don’t even know if I saw him.

Except foe a few pressures on the Uconn QB, Reese has been the invisible man

I would be content with a 28-17 game. If we give up more than 28, IMO it will be a major red flag for the rest of the year. They have issues putting points on the board. Even 28 is a good amount of points for them.

Scoring 17 against their D would be a decent job IMO. If we score less then I would worry a bit. You can't go 55 mins vs UConn at home and score only 6 points and then your next real opponent put up only two scores (or less), despite how good that opponent may be. That would indicate that we have issues.

I think a 28 (or less) to 17 (or more) type of game wouldn't set off any alarms for the rest of the year.

Question I have really is Clemson going to be pissed and ready for blood, or deflated after losing at home to GTech.

Yes.

If we cant beat this spread it will be a long season.

 

[llandz]

Yes.

Wasn't this game at G. Tech? Not a home game for Clemson?

I would not predict a victory here, but judging how we played against a much better (offensive) Tennessee team, I like our chances. If we play like we did for 53 minutes against Yukon, we will get destroyed.

376 yards and 26 (really 31) points might get it done. That’s what we did vs. Tennessee.

It just depends which team shows up. It’s too early in the year to know which one we really are.

Dabo was a bit hot under the collar during his media availability. Tbd on whether that is a galvanizing force for the team or a detriment.

They are at a crossroads. The only way he can placate fans is with deep playoff runs. The fans are thinking that they can hire anyone and do better. Pretty similar to Coach P. I thought we could hire anyone and go 6-6. And then I was wrong. If they mutually part... I could see Dabo to Florida and Clemson's next hire be underwhelming. Happened with RichRod at Michigan, etc. Really, only Ohio State has been consistently great for a long, long period of time without a slip up.

agree. very high expectations and they're losing patience...

In this NIL era... a lot of guys may become distracted with all of this quickly and start looking for the next home. We may get super-motivated Clemson. But we may also get the FSU of last year... mailing it in Clemson. Dabo might be saying that they are 9 straight wins away from the ACC CG again. But the team must appreciate that they are one conference loss away from elimination. Cal, Miami, and FSU can all go undefeated this year. No room for a 1-loss champion just yet.

The Clemson board is a lot like this one. Some are saying they can't see how Clemson wins with what they have and how they are playing, some say they will roll us, and then in-betweeners are hemming and hawing.

Miami and FSU play each other on 10/4

His seat will be quite warm if he loses at home to Cuse this week.

All the pressure is on them, big favorites at home against a team considered the bottom of the league. If something goes wrong for them early, the wheels might come off.

 

[upperdeck]

Cal/FSU/Syracuse can all go undefeated in the ACC.

While coaches upcoming game press conferences are typical quick niceties, Dabo was highly complementary of Fran, our offense especially and had some interesting/nice comments on our D. Unlike the GT coach who basically didn't even discuss Syracuse last year, Davo brings some class. You can find his comments on YouTube if want to listen.
