Clemson is probably the biggest bellwether game so far in the Autry tenure.  Donnie comes back but also Clemson is basically the low end of where we want to be at the end of the season with a 40ish net and pushing near the top 4-5 of the conference.

Clemson is also one of those teams that does not really blow teams out or get blown out. They are 4-3 against P5 competition and have not won or loss any of those games by more than 7 points. No top 25 wins and also a Q3 loss but also much more consistent than us. Obvi we are at the dome too.

This tells us that if we get beat by double digit points at the dome then it’s time to seriously start the coaching search. On the other hand with Donnie back if we beat them by double digits it’s very telling that this team is perfectly capable of beating everyone in the league except maybe Duke and to a lesser extent Louisville and UNC on the road.  A close game either way may be more purgatory.

Finally score doesn’t always tell the story but I think the spread of this game may really tell us everything.
