Why not us?

[cuse309]

Clemson is flawed too. Elite D, not an elite O.

Stop.

 

[cuse309]

Didn't Clemson QB go down today?

He'll be fine. Minor injury.

 

[cuse309]

Iowa State was somewhere between a 25-30 point dog against Okakhoma and won. Why can't we beat Clemson against similar odds?

I think it may be time for one of Dino's patented "Kumbya Meetins'"

 

[care taker]

The crowd and the noise helped the D today hopefully we will get even better attendance next week

 

[TheCusian]

Stop.

No thanks, man. It’s not crazy to say we have a shot no matter how much Stockholm syndrome exists in the fan base.

It’s the game on the schedule we have the least chance to win, but we aren’t forfeiting. Make them come here and do it.

 

[OrangeDW]

If we can just hang in the game vs. Clemson into the 2nd half, beat BC and Wake and knock off one of the other 3, I will be absolutely ecstatic.

Of course we have a shot. Pitt beat them at D.V. last year. But Their offense works just fine. Elite? Probably not if you count elite as a top 5 offense. But their offense is all of a top 25 offense. A better offense than we've seen all year. By far.

 

[Chip]

If we play the way we played today we will lose by 50.

You think Clemson scores 50+ on our defense from today?

NC State is #30.
Clemson is #28.

So, yeah - technically correct. But they were 20 spots better last year.

Let’s just do better than Maryland’s offense is doing against Ohio State today.

Look it up for fun.

They did their best Rutgers imitation.

 

[supp]

If we can get 40K in the building and stay within 17, I'll be happy.

Yep and escape without injuries

 

[OrangeDW]

Yep and escape without injuries

The suplexing redneck LB is gone, right? That’s a good thing as far as injuries go.

 

[AAM62]

Hope to see Coleman and cordy back next week.

 

[Deano]

Hope to see Coleman and cordy back next week.

I don't think Cordy will be back. Hopefully Foster wasn't hurt that bad. Coleman and Black would be huge to get back.

 

[Chip]

I kinda think Oklahoma losing, and Alabama getting a bit of a scare, works against us. Gives Dabo something to help them focus.

 

[OrangeDW]

I remember CJ Spiller thinking he was king sh$t and referring to us as “scrubs” the first time we played Clemson. Now he’s a scrub that’s out of the league.

 

[cuse309]

NC State is #30.
Clemson is #28.

So, yeah - technically correct. But they were 20 spots better last year.

To be taken with a grain of salt. Clemson played 3 top 15 teams so far.

 

[kcsu]

Clemson is the an AMAZING team. This would be a bigger win than the Nebraska game.

 

[Crusty]

Wake will be all we can handle. Seasoned team.

 

[qdawgg]

Some people like to tell us how beatable a team is during the week.

Then by Monday have all the stats to tell us how big a moral victory the loss was. “But they have ____ 4 and 5 star players and the whole team will be in the NFL next year”, “they are twice the size of us, we had no chance but we showed we could compete”.

I want to beat Clemson and I’m going with the assumption we have a shot but I’m also not going to pretend everyone we play actually isn’t very good because some crappy team played a good half against them once.

So, past performance isn’t indicative of anything now?

Can’t see the forest or the trees
