Doesn't matter. Their season ends against FSU

That is def a must win for Clemson or else they can kiss any shot at the CFP goodbye.

 

[Bulldog04]

Ok so how has Duke improved so quickly under new coach and it’s taken dino like 47 years and 3 different shifts of coaches ?

 

[PoppyHart]

Clemson put up a good fight for a basketball school.

 

[NYCCuse826]

Clemson's schedule:

• Charleston Southern
• FAU
• Florida State
• at Syracuse
• Wake Forest
• at Miami
• at NC State
• Notre Dame
• Georgia Tech
• North Carolina
• at South Carolina

Where do the wins come from after CSU and FAU? They are going to have to fight from FSU on.

 

[Scooch]

Not that I like Duke, but this is delightful.

 

[David332]

I don’t think I’ve ever seen Clemson look like this. Ay carumba.

 

[SU91]

If Duke can do this at home, imagine what we could do in the Dome?

That’s just it, Clemson becomes a game that’s now in play. We can’t blow that opportunity. They don’t come around too often.

 

[Orangezoo]

Not that I like Duke, but this is delightful.

Duke has a good team coming off a good season but Clemson getting whipped by Duke football is more than just a loss. They haven't beaten Clemson since 2004. Mind you that's 5 games totally they have played since then and then biggest margin in a Duke win since like the 1930s

 

[Acesn8s]

I love seeing this, I think it’s a beautiful thing, only downside is a I bought 2.5 points and took Duke and the points when the money line was looking me in the face the whole time smh.

They need to be able to win with the power running game.. we let the game slip away last yr when thats all they had. But FSU/SU/Miami/ND/UNC can all give them games hopefully and the USC to end the yr can always be a battle if it goes south you can see them losing 5-6-7 even its doubtful. lets hope we do our job first.

I dont think Duke whipped them.. The first half Duke deseved the lead. the 2nd half clemson made its own mistakes and probably should have been up 1-2 scores until it went bad

Yes. Clemson took over actually. They were running it on them the way they ran it in is. Bad, bad turnovers. Man, I hope we beat them now. I don’t like Duke.

None of that matters in the bigger picture. It was 28-7. It might matter if you are a Clemson fan but to everyone else they lost by 3 TDs. Execution and not playing mistake prone football is part of it.

And that is how quickly things can turn in college football. Not the end of the world for Clemson but these other teams aren’t that much more talented in this league. Florida State is clearly the best team but the sucked a few years ago. We can win 8 or 9 in this league I feel

 

[CbusCuse]

Clemson loses and I hit the under, great night!

Me too. I hit the under but also bet Duke on the money line. Very small bets on both but I thought there was a good shot this would occur.

But in all honesty I love this for my bet but was hoping it wouldn’t happen. I don’t think this is good for the conference unfortunately. Also it doesn’t help with Syracuse strength of schedule this year.

 

[orangenauburn]

Duke probably sneaks in top 25

Of course, you take it one week at a time, but Clemson has some very big problems. If SU takes care of the controllables, they can make it interesting.

 

[SU91]

I’ll be honest, I don’t typically get into the “disrespect” thing, but I listen to every podcast possible, etc and Cuse is such an afterthought it’s unbelievable. Even BC consistently got more mentions than us coming off a losing season. All I want is a little analysis of my team, but our program just isn’t deemed worthy. We really need to take advantage of other teams having down years and break through (similar to ‘18). It’s been too long. It’s time.

Bad news: Even if we start 4-0, no Gameday
Good news: If we start 4-0, our chances of going 5-0 look better than we ever thought

Well BC got Mahogany back, that magically changes them from 3-9 to a bowl team while we stink even though we don’t

Acc officials going to get involved now

After this weekend’s results all ACC referees protection has shifted to Florida St. the Noles will get the emergency phone call if threatened in 2023

Elko never hired Brian Ward, Sterlin Gilbert or Kirk Martin?
