Yow-Za!

That's unfortunate. I had already started looking forward to the Long vs Watson showdown.

Watson looks like a future all-American in the little I saw of him. We were never winning that game Clemson I hope he is back for their South Carolina game.

With Stoudt starting, we're still probably not winning but we have a shot

His injury turned Clemson-Louisville into a rock fight. On a day where the college football scores looked like old Big East college hoops scores, that game stuck out. Neither team made it to 265 total yards.

Gameday guys called him the future face of CFB.

For all those who thought we should've beat Ville, Clemson without Watson is kind of of the same team. Dominating defense with a sputtering offense.

Love the way our offense looked today and have hope that they can improve and look good in 5 of the remaining 6 games. But that Clemson game...we're going to struggle. They're really good on defense. Best D we'll face this year.

I don't know, I might give the nod to Ville. 14 of Clemsons points came off special teams and defense.

He's kind of a statue in the pocket, I think. We usually fare well against those types of QBs.

We absolutely have a real shot. Clemson is not as good as FSU, and Stoudt is a big drop-off from Watson IMO.

Gotta crush Wake in the meantime.

Stoudt doesn't have Watson's athletism but he was doing okay before Dabo want with the upside of Watson from the FSU game onward.

Short of our defense forcing turnovers galore we aren't winning in Death Valley. Our program needs a cycle 4 years in a row(Right now we are in year 2) with better athletes to compete with the more talented teams on an annual basis. If we keep this game within 2 scores I will be happy.

Yeah, I'm encouraged but let's not get carried away. I'd like to see us beat Wake by at least a couple TDs, but I see Clemson as a 31-10ish loss.

Come home and need to get it done against an NC State team that has lost itself again and then set up a huge game against Duke.
