For "the sky is falling" crowd...

I realize that nothing I suggest here will quell your desire to fire all the coaches, stop donating to the university, call out specific players to be kicked off the team for having a bad game, sharing your vast knowledge of football that is undoubtedly superior to all Clemson coaches throughout history combined, and (for the most part) spreading a ton of negative energy on a fan site to which you predictably do not donate. It's also pretty laughable that most of you literally only show up following a loss. It's almost like you are secretly pulling for Clemson to lose so that you can pop a Zima and get to ranting.

Anyway, I was very encouraged by Watson's poise Saturday night. Running this offense in a hostile environment on national TV seemed like something he'd been doing for years, and I can't wait to watch him grow for the rest of this season and beyond.

Our defense was absolutely dominant the entire game, and I especially loved how aggressive they were even when FSU had moved inside our 40 yard line. There were numerous times when FSU would have surely scored at least 3 if it were not for the negative plays created by the defense.

Stephone Anthony is an absolute beast. It seemed like he was in on every single play Saturday night. I'm really happy for him to finally be healthy enough to show how great of a player he can be.

I don't see us losing another game this season, especially if the defense continues to set the tone like that. I doubt that will be enough for a spot in the playoff, but 10-2 and crushing the coots would sit just fine with me.

Go Tigers!
