Kids  played hard, but they always show up every week.

Clemson scored 37 and took a knee on the last drive. Watson had 465 total yards by himself. Is that anything to get excited about? We held them to about their average ppg of 38.7. Probably a better performance for us.

The offense is where I have my questions with respect to trend/sustainability. Did we simply matchup better or have we improved? Trudo's post game remarks make my point. He pointed out that the option works best against aggressive penetrating defenses (like LSU and Clemson) since they overrun the play. Mahoney walked in twice untouched! Everyone knows you have to play read and react against the option  Kudos to Lester for recognizing that and having a good game plan. The question is what happens next - do we fall back to the worst offense in the ACC again or do we improve.

The best that can be said is that we don't know. Until we see sustainable progress I won't call this gold.
