- If there IS such a thing as learning how to win, it’s apparently not on the curriculum for the football team. When do we get the victories that will really turn this program around?
- We are back to feeling good about this team but we are also back to going on the road. We’ve had four road games and have lost three of them by three touchdowns, (plus field goal in too=wo of them), and an overtime loss to a bad team we led by ten going into the fourth quarter. The games that have produced all the discontent have been the road games and it would be just like this team to lay an egg next week in Raleigh and make everybody feel bad again.
- Do you think those refs want Clemson in the playoff? Either that or they are The Three Stooges plus Shemp.
- Please explain why, when you get the ball with 37 seconds left in the half, (and you’re going to get it again to start the second half), you run a conventional running play- and then left the last 24 seconds of the half run out as you walk off the field? If you are going to do that, why not just take a knee. And what are you going to lose if you take a risk and try to score? An interception that will ruin your reputation? We’re trying to GET a reputation?
- About 11 minutes left. We are down 24-34. We have a 3rd and 1 from the Clemson 4. We line up in the pistol with Mahoney at the 7 and George Morris at the 10. Carlos Watkins blows up Ivan Foy and intercepts Morris three yards behind the line of scrimmage. We have to settle for a field goal. If Mahoney was under center, Watkins might still have gotten to Morris. But he wouldn’t have gotten to Mahoney if he’s sneaking it. Can we get the quarterback under center and the back right behind him for short yardage situations, please?
