Message: [QUOTE="CuseMan4, post: 2702707, member: 5564"] This is a very interesting situation. Basically Bryant lost the job and ran to a newspaper to get his feelings out, which is just raw emotion and not smart on his part. A little weird. The fact that he says he wasn’t given a fair shot after starting a whole season and given a chance to out shine Lawrence at the beginning of this season is more than fair. But what needs to be said is that this is big time college football, you are at one of the best college football schools in the country...fair shot or not, talent always plays. It’s clear that Lawrence is the more talented player now and in the future. Now this can go one of two ways. 1) this becomes a distraction for Clemson, they lose some focus and it gives us more than a punchers chance. Yes Lawrence is a stud but he hasn’t really been knocked around a bunch. This is only his 5th game and the first he will start/play the whole game. They don’t have an experienced back up so he is option A-Z. This could backfire on them but I don’t think t will. Bryant running to the newspaper did no good for the team and the players that are close to him. This could cause some division which could translate to the field. 2) People are thinking that there is a little turmoil in the clemson program right now and Clemson wants to come out and prove a point this weekend to show this was the right move. They come out fired up after this move and after last year’s loss and take it to us. Yes Lawrence is a freshman but like I said he is a stud, he has confidence and moxy. I think this move elevates his game. Also Dabo is too good of a coach, this team is to veteran to let them lose significant focus. Lawrence is either going to be a world beater Saturday or have his worst game of the year, no in between in my opinion. I think this game will be interesting. Here’s hoping our defense can hold their own and get to the Freshman QB to knock him around and pick off some passes. Our offense will get it’s points with Dungey under center, we just need to execute and we will have a chance. Should be a good game. GO CUSE! [/QUOTE]
