Clemson Postgame thoughts...

[STEVEHOLT]

4-0 in turnovers.

Can't lose to anyone with that difference.

I guess 4-1 with the final throw

That late hit was functionally a turnover so it was more like 4-2

 

[bpo57]

There are 4-5 SEC teams that would put the wood to Clemson.

 

[HRE Otto IV]

You can't get shut out in the 2nd half. The O was embarrassing.

 

[sdhall01]

Shrader really needs to look beyond OG

Problem is, everybody else drops half the balls thrown at them

 

[OrangeDW]

 

[CarolinaCuse]

Offense players and coaches let the team down in the 2nd half. They didn't make enough adjustments at halftime to develop a strong 2nd half plan. They should have had more plays designed for Tucker instead of PRO for Shrader... who had an awful 2nd half in terms of reads.

[FloridaFan]

Losing that 20 seconds hurt cause it forced us to have to speed up even more

 

[Keger03]

Proud of this team. Played their hearts out. We will be better for it.

 

[suorange08]

We shite the bed here. Clemson did not deserve to win

We lost this. They did not win it. Offensive playcalling in the second half was pathetic.

 

[orangeinohio]

Problem is, everybody else drops half the balls thrown at them

Yeah, Cooper dropped one. OG dropped one too.

 

[CIL]

Jackson in the end zone alone. We shouldn't have lost this game.

He wasn’t. Safety moved up once that ball left Shraders hand. It looked that way because the camera panned in. Safety breaks up that throw to Jackson every time.

 

[Chris02M]

Why did the refs stop the game with us marching down the field

they started the clock to soon after the first

 

[FloridaFan]

In addition why did we pass so much in the second when we have the lead? We were doing good running first half. Burn clock and run it down their throats instead of letting GS sit in the pocket

 

[pacusewife]

We’re going bowling. Gotta keep reminding myself.

 

[CsonkaStash]

Who is 8? He was wide open running a fly. Gadsden would have been great decoy to throw it to him

 

[CIL]

There are 4-5 SEC teams that would put the wood to Clemson.

No there aren’t. That’s the best defense in the entire nation

 

[ForCuseSake]

There are 4-5 SEC teams that would put the wood to Clemson.

That’s great.

Who you rootin for next week?

 

[EnviroSciGuy]

Shrader needs to learn how to throw the ball out of bounds. You can get away with these bad sacks and ints against the UVAs of the world, but not in Death Valley.

 

[STEVEHOLT]

5 carries for Tucker? Winning strategy there.

 

[Orangefizz]

This cuse team is for real. After a tough last throw loss I bet Cuse will be so angry and focused during the week that they will take it out Notre Dame next week. A tough loss for sure but the season is still so positive!!!

 

[Orangello]

and Tucker wide open on the left to run out of bounds for 7-10yds

 

[NineOneSeven]

Gut wrenching. Tough calls but we also killed ourselves. 4-0 turnovers in our favor??? Couldn’t ask for more. Tucker single digit carries? Odd.

 

[hoopsupstate]

Jackson was really open deep. The d back probably gave up looking at Gladson, but at least throw it to the end zone.

 

[pokercuse08]

We didn't play our best game possible, were on the wrong end of some very questionable calls as well as some terrible coaching decisions, and still took Clemson to the wire in Death Valley...

And the fans of the #5 team in the country stormed the field for beating Syracuse. I know they set the conference record for home winning streaks, too, but still.

Clemson-Syracuse is turning into an honest-to-God football rivalry. Let's win 10 games, get to a good bowl game, build momentum and take it into next season, and continue to make the case that we belong in a big boy conference when the dust settles so that Dino and company can keep building this program.
