- We’ve now played Clemson 10 times since we joined the ACC. Two have been blow-out losses from early on, (2013 and 2016). Two were games where we were still in it through the third quarter but a late blitz blew the game open for them, (2019-20). The others have all been competitive games, although we’ve only managed to win one of them. That’s short of it being a major rivalry but they have to respect us.

- Our offense is now a three- headed monster with Oronde Gadsden joining Garrett Shrader and Sean Tucker as major weapons. Against a team less than Clemson, that’s a formidable triumvirate.

- But the defense is the best thing on this team. The fact that they are having to play a lot more players could mean that it will be even better next year, if the people who can come back decide to do so.

- Mikel Jones had 12 tackles, 7 solo. Marlowe Wax was shown to be in pain on the sidelines but came back in to force the fumble, (along with Duce Chestnut, who had also been down), that was returned 90 yards for a score by Ja’Had Carter.

- Garrett Shrader had 248 yards total offense and 2TDs. Uiagalelei and Klubnik had 185/0 with 3 turnovers, (I think the pick on the 2 point conversion try is just considered an unsuccessful try for 2.)

- Max Von Marburg averaged 43.9 yards per punt. The bad old days of last year are in the rear-view mirror.

- Let’s go 11-1. That would be a heck of a season.

6-1 with 5+ to go

LET’S GO ORANGE!!!
