Message: [QUOTE="irishredhomebrew, post: 1168645, member: 1244"] Stoudt is a game manager (at best). The coaches trust him because of his grasp on the playbook. However, injuries have killed our line (starting center out for the year, just now getting a starting tackle back this week, have only utilized 6 linemen max the last couple of weeks), and, coupled with our RB depth (1st and 2nd string RBs lost for the year), the offense has to rely on passing to set up the run. Even in the passing game, we have lost our number 1 WR (Peake) and now our number 1 TE (Legett). Stoudt is not as productive as Watson (not even close) but he also has played hurt against top 10 defenses the last 2 weeks. I worry about any away game we play right now, and am very happy we left Boston with a W. I feel better regarding the Syracuse game, mainly because it is in Death Valley. Most Clemson fans are just hoping we can hang on til Watson gets back. Hopefully he is back in time for the GT game. [/QUOTE]
