I realize we've had the fortune to play against some really good defenses this season, but someday we're going to have one of those offenses that scores 5 TDs a game and makes it look easy instead of wondering when we'll see the end zone next and have to scratch and claw to sustain drives.

can't wait. Lester isn't the solution. Hope shader realizes it while he can.

When some of our young talent gets their sea legs. Might not happen this year, but it could next year.

I hope you are right. Left one on the table there tonight.

Not sure how you can jump to that conclusion after 3 games at the helm, 2 of which be ranked teams and all of them with a freshman QB.

That's the frustrating thing. We asked way too much of our defense, and even at that they answered the bell. And on offense we weren't creative enough, talented enough, experienced enough or disciplined enough to make something of it.

I'm really encouraged by the defense. Really was hoping to see more from the offense.
 
Say what? Weve had one good offense since coach p left
And literally none have played a defense as good as the Clemson D. Maybe other than the FSU D in 2013. What do you think was going to happen? A blowout? Sure, they can put up 20 vs. FSU, 20-something on Maryland, 30 on Wake... You think ANY of SU's defenses would score a ton on this Clemson team? You're expecting too much. Be realistic. Instead of being pessimistic about the O, be optimistic of the D. You could have started Nassib out there and he would have done just as much -- with more talent at the RB position.
 
I just dont get why upstate coming at me. I tell my friends every week that were going to upset but the truth is, outside nassibs sr year, we havent had a good offense

Just take a look at today's scoreboard. Games in the 50's, 60's, 70's, and even one in the 80's. It's frustrating watching that all day and then watch our offense.

Sure thing bro.

Excellent input. Thanks for sharing. The team isn't where all of us want to be, but don't discredit the competition. They're very good where SU really needed to play "under-par". They didn't and it's because Clemson's talent on D was better than the SU O. Nothing to be ashamed of. The team played its heart out in a tough place to win. Cry all you want, you'll be the 1% not being proud of the team.

Thought I was numb to it because I've been banging this drum for so long, but today it's getting to me.

If we had the 2012 offense tonight, we win. You're right, we haven't had an dense except 2012 in a decade or more.

Can we cut it with the gay jokes? Not just you, but this is like the third one tonight. We lost a game, emotions are high, but we're all better than that.

Wow, original. Bet you wept blood when Hackett gained 400+ yards against WVU in 2011, too.

It's understandable when the board refuses to acknowledge another team's propensities. Too blind to see any realities because McNabb isn't at the helm. Time to move forward. The board is always at it's most negative after losses. Clemson played as poorly on O as SU did on O. Defense was the decider. Their's was better. Denying that would be Rutgers-esque.

It wasnt a gay joke... But it prob wasnt appropriate so i apologize.
