Regardless of outcome

[dasher]

I don’t think anyone quit. Just mistakes, and some questionable calls and no calls, and Clemson being Clemson.

SU is closing the gap. There are no moral victories, but SU is no longer going to be a bottom dweller team in this crappy conference.

It isn't a crappy conference.

 

[Crusty]

Great effort.

Proud of these guys. Clemson is just a better team with advantages on the lines. SU was able to hold their own for a half but it’s a sixty minute game and effort only gets you so far.

And they are going to go at least 4-1 the rest of the way

Given all the injuries the Dline held their own but the Oline got completely outclassed. A lot of those penalties came because our guy got beat. No excuse for Fuentes-Cundiff -reminds me of Keon's in the NWU game years ago. Very costly.

I guess they didn't meet your expectations for this game. Shame on them. The team we just played had won 37 games in a row at home. Might there be a reason for that?

Both are great football teams. Our team is every bit as good as Clemson and we showed that in the first half. We started playing like the game was over and didn’t put it away. Then we didn’t respond when punched in the face. The mistakes and hanging heads on the sideline tell you all you needed to know around the 4 minutes to go in the third.

I love this team, but I’m surprised the team leaders and coaches didn’t pick each other up.

 

[Newhouser]

It's little plays. Dropped pass to extend a drive, Barron with another atrocious angle in run support, Bleich too slow, the new Rhino's two penalty games...we can't overcome those against good teams.

Dino and Anae have had better days. McDonough witness protection comment when Tucker caught his last pass was classic.

Sideline reporter on our side of the field said around 6 minutes left that SU looked defeated on the sidelines

When the NFL draft comes around, we won't match Clemson. And I call crap on the hanging heads. We didn't quit and hung in and actually had a chance at the end of the game. Would have had a better chance had our coach known to call a time out and save us 30 more valuable seconds.

Wow college kids felt frustrated for a bit, burn them at the stake. Question the play calling on offense and the clock management but this team has heart and leadership, Bigtime

Yeah, I think she doesn’t know what she’s talking about.

Who the hell is she? We were right in it till the end so that goes out the window. And that included the ridiculous pass interference call which made us go for 7 at the end instead of a tying FG.

 

[FloridaFan]

Yeah, I think she doesn’t know what she’s talking about.

I mean do we have evidence to the contrary. With how our offense played the second half it’s not that hard to imagine seeing players getting demoralized at being shut out

 

[llandz]

They quit?! Lol congrats you won the stupid comment of the day

And that is why we were marching down the field with 15 seconds left and almost pulled off a Virginia 2.0 win.

 

[007]

Defnese played well. Offense though...

The offense played against a team LOADED with NFL talent and against a program that is a mind-numbing 62-2 at home over the last 10 seasons. And yet...still had a chance to win before that INT.

Didn't win, no moral victories here, but the team proved something today.

A national reporter that is walking our sidelines and observing players and coaches?

 

[djorange1989]

Yeah they quit. God some of you are morons

Seriously this team did anything but quit. So freaking dumb

 

[AAM62]

That’s a lazy, weak excuse and not why we lost.

You’re right. 3rd quarter killed us. You can’t go 3 and out after gifted turnovers.

 

[storange]

I’ve never felt any worse after a game, this just sucks, I hate the “I’m really above blaming my officials crap, take a look at the flags during crunch time. And if this is not a thing explain to me how our hit out of bounds which led to their score was a late hit and the shove of Shrader was not. Go ahead, I’m waiting , feel free to use game tape or visuals.

 

[djorange1989]

Yeah, I think she doesn’t know what she’s talking about.

She doesn’t, this team has as much heart as any SU team I have seen in about 35 years of following them. She can burn in hell with anyone who questioned if we were for real

Always a little narrative driven IMO

Yes, the fact that they kept fighting. Sideline reporter was looking for an angle that wasn’t there.

lol national reported who has never played a down of football. And the play on the field told you whether we quit or not. We fought right till the end. I would like to see what we could have done with 30 more seconds at the end of the game.

 

[rrlbees]

Good effort in the first half but they quite in the second half. I’m happy they played them close, but they quit and that’s what hurts about this loss.

They didn’t quit. They were beat up and worn down.

 

[storange]

They didn’t quit. They were beat up and worn down.

And still got 2 critical stops at the end

 

[Scotch]

They did not quit at all. I question some play calling but our under sized team battled and the defense was gassed. Hate this take.

Well Shrader threw a stupid pick so 30 more seconds doesn't help.

He threw that pick with the second ticking down. That is the point. If he knew he had more time, he might not have felt the need to force it in.
