Message: [QUOTE="Crusty, post: 4009113, member: 2265"] [CENTER][ATTACH type="full" width="503px" alt="Clemson Game 10-15-2021 Score.JPG"]208802[/ATTACH][/CENTER] This was a very hard-fought close game where any number of things could have changed the outcome. That said, in no particular order, here are some factors in the game result. [LIST] [*]Shrader was 17-37 (45.9%) with 1 drive killing interception. If he doesn't improve his accuracy AND decision making someone might beat him out next year. [*]Shrader's rushing was neutralized by Brett Venables and 45% passing did not make up for it. However, Shrader finally hit on a deep pass with a beautiful throw to Trebor Pena, who scored on the 62-yard play. [*]Too may stupid penalties, especially in the first half. [LIST] [*]2 PF lead to first Clemson TD. [/LIST] [*]Punting continues to be poor averaging less than 40 yards We are 92nd of 95 punters in the country punting 22 times for an average of 38.32 yards per punt. Tenth our of ten in the ACC. Only punter averaging less than 40 ypp. [*]Too many dropped passes and I don't remember any 50-50 passes we won. [*]Clemson trickeration worked. We were not surprised by the fake punt but Clemson simply executed better than we did. [/LIST] Contrary to what I have read elsewhere we had almost as many yards in the second half as in the first and actually more plays. If any team adjusted better in the second half, it was SU. Clemson was held to only 3 points and 61 fewer total yards. while SU scored 7 points with almost the same number of yards in each half.

Wake Forest certainly looks better in comparison. Feel very bably for the team with three really tough losses in-a-row. When are we finally going to win a conference game? [/QUOTE]
