My brother recently moved to Greenville and has become a SC fan and he texts me pretty much every Saturday thanking us for Sellers lol. He's also an Ohio State fan so it's been fun to thank him every week for McCord.

Cuse702 with a small sample but high like ratio. Possible insider capabilities on display here. I am keeping an eye on this.
I got some family there and they are the SU fans in the Clemson area
Also cudos for getting Clemson in to the playoffs.McCord got the ball out quickly because he prepared well watching film and knew how to read a defense pre snap. Manning and Brady weren't great because of athleticism or the best arm it's because they were coaches on the field who knew the reads and tendencies so he knew what his cues were to release quickly.
QBs who are confused or just not good at knowing what they are doing through smarts and preparation just hold onto the ball too long.

While I think McCord has a lot to do with this, I also wonder how much of those reads are from the OC talking to the QB now.
I dont know.
A decent portion of our O utilized the RPO game which forced Kyle to get the ball out as quick as possible due to design. However he also consistently made quick reads based on coverages and leverage in the conventional passing game which made him very effective. I’m not sure how much of the latter can be replicated with the next QB depending on who it is but I’m sure the staff has a vision in mind.

What I was saying is how much easier were those reads having the OC in his ear up till each snap? Were those pre snap reads all Kyle? 75%? 50%? 25%?
The more it was Nixon the easier it will be for this O to have success next year too.
I think it was heavily Kyle, but kinda hope it was both.

I thought the communication was cut off before the snap

At snap or 15 on the play clock. Whichever is first.

For those who were at the game, did you watch Williams and Kyle playing catch at halftime? It was insane. Williams was throwing it flat footed 40 yards with this high dropping trajectory like he didn’t want to hurt Kyle’s hands as he want to catch it and it was a thing of beauty…

52.0 - Texas A&M QB Conner Weigman to enter transfer portal
- Texas A&M QB Conner Weigman is looking to continue his college football career elsewhere.
The Aggies’ Week 1 starter told ESPN that he’s entering the transfer portal. Weigman will have two seasons of eligibility remaining at his new school and will be one of the most high-profile transfer quarterbacks ahead of the 2024 season.
Weigman won the starting job over Marcel Reed before suffering a shoulder injury in the Aggies’ Week 1 loss to Notre Dame. Weigman started in Week 2 against McNeese State, but missed nearly a month after that because of the injury.
He was replaced by Reed while he was out and returned on Oct. 5 against Missouri. Weigman had one of the best games of his career against the Tigers as he was 18-of-22 for 276 yards and also rushed five times for 33 yards in the Aggies’ blowout win.
Weigman made two more starts after that victory, but was replaced at halftime against LSU after he was just 6-of-18 passing for 64 yards in the first two quarters. Reed entered and sparked the offense to 31 points in the second half on the way to a 38-23 win and has retained the starting job ever since as Weigman had seen only brief playing time in a November win over New Mexico State.

Weigman entered the 2023 season as the Aggies’ starter and started the first four games. However, he left the fourth game of the season vs. Auburn with a foot injury that turned out to be season-ending and was ultimately redshirted. For his career, Weigman is 219-of-365 passing for 2,694 yards and 19 TDs with seven interceptions over 15 games.

It has to help. The OC sees the D, and knows the play and reminds the QB what the key is.
I know its a thing but I miss the QB doing the work not 3-4 guys up high explaining things for 20 secs.
I would love less play clock and give the OC 10 secs to get the play in. 25 sec clock.

I know I saw someone hinted on here that the guy we were eyeing is not a current starter and hasn’t been mentioned in here yet. Air Nolland from OSU came to mind for me. Another OSU guy he’s from GA so I’m sure Fran recruited him out of HS. Hasn’t hit the portal yet that I’ve seen but would anticipate he might given Sayin is their “next man up”. Just a shot in the dark
In my mind, if Williams is the guy they would save money but still pay him more and then they could spend on a center / guard guys plus add 2 lb 1 stud dt in either 1/3 shade and a long safety whom has range and great tackling ability. I truly hope its Williams and he compliments the run game and as season progresses he keeps getting better. We have to remember that Kyle is helping these guys learn how and when to throw and too who. He has the feet and definatly the arm. Just need a good backup if he is gonna run.

Are we just completely overlooking Michael Johnson Jr.? I am also asking myself. He was a high 3 star/low 4 star QB out of HS with major offers. Bama, FSU, PSU, LSU, Miami etc.
Knows the offense better than a transfer, has rapport with teammates, he is a senior so he is mature. The only question is, what can he do with the lights on and are we willing to alter the offense to suit more of a running able QB?
Man this is going to be fascinating to see what Fran does.

My guess was Henry Belin at Duke. Brother on the team. NY kid, and is the backup to someone in his same class.
