Clemson vs FSU Prediction
Clemson has a ton of talent on the offensive side of the ball, but the defense has been a question mark. Can that defense find its way on the road against a team on a mission, with tons of playmakers? Full Story » |

That makes it all the sweeter when we do. I don't know what will show up on Sat. PM, but this should be a great game, and say what you will, we have come a long way in a short time to be where we are. I like our chances, I like our players and I like our coaches. And, I certainly like our character over any opponent we will face, and that is as important as anything, IMO.

That will be the difference in the 4th quarter when they need to drain the clock and slow the game down.

You are right on with your post! The prediction that FSU would be the cream of the crop has been the rule for the past 8 years, but we, somehow, miraculously, have won 6 of the last 9 games. The same thing about the prediction with the coots, who for the last eon, have been National Champions prior to the season starts. I don't know how we will perform, but we are making huge strides, and we are doing it the right way. Hats off to our team and to our coaching staff! Go Tigers!!!

FSU 34. Clemson 21

I dont see us stopping their option and keeping their receivers in check. I think we can score some points but mainly in the 3rd and 4th wih FSU up 24 to 7 to start the third quarter off.

Some will pooh, pooh, this post, but a Clemson win certainly is possible. FSU has played nobody , and, granted, we only played a weak AU team, who didn't seem so weak at the time. We certainly are capable of whipping their butts, just like we did last year, when they had those same "great, 5 star, outstanding athletes they have had for the last 9 years, and the same Auburn type talent that is "secheat class talent" that no team could possibly compete against, but somehow, we did spank that butt, too. I don't know if we will win, but I wouldn't trade places with fsu for all the tea in China. Go Tigers!!!

You said baiting for 3 games. That would include Auburn.
Sep 21, 2012, 12:14 PM

While I don't think BV baited FSU in the Auburn game, I think he played it vanilla against the cupcakes and I do think that (with 3 more weeks of practice since Auburn, and BV's experience against FSU) we could see a more aggressive, run-oriented, multiple-blitz-heavy D this weekend than we've seen in the last 3 games. It's one of my hopeful reasons for the upset.

Sep 21, 2012, 11:38 AM
|

I feel more comfortable being picked to win by almost no one than I do being picked to win by almost everyone. We do have a tendency to choke on the big games when we're picked to win, and seem to do better when we are the distinct underdogs. Thankfully, I'm not a betting man, but if I was, I'd put my money on my Tigers because I think they have what it takes to pull off the upset.
GO TIGERS!!!!

The FSU punter has actually been very good. Maybe not a huge foot, but great accuracy and directional punting. He got 2 punts inside the 5 yard line last week.

I agree. David, where did this unimpressive punter nonsense get started among our reporters and radio hosts? Here are his punts from my earlier post on Plyler's article:
Murray State 28 yards, fair catch at Murray St 13 39 yards, returned for 2 to Murray St 43 36 yards, downed at Murray St 8
Savannah State 46 yards, fair catch at Savannah St 7
Wake Forest 38 yards, downed at Wake 5 39 yards, downed at Wake 5 41 yards, fair catch at Wake 14 50 yards, touch back
He has an average of 39.625 yards for his punts, which is fairly low, but you can't really punt any farther than that when you're putting them at the 5, 5, 7, 8, 13, and 14. He's got an average starting field position after punt at the 14 yard line. Take out the punt from their own 20 and the average is the 10 yard line. Only one of his punts near the end zone went for a touchback; the rest were stopped within the 20. You've got to give credit where it's due. He's not something our team needs to ignore.

Good, fair analysis. Underdogs, but I'd like to see...
Sep 21, 2012, 12:46 PM

1) Clemson play its A-game on O, D, & ST. 2) The offense break a TD and go up early to freak-out the formerly-invincible defense and quiet the crowd. 3) The D load the box to stop the run, bring multiple, disguised, varying blitzes to fluster Manuel and plant him early so that he starts to think too much. 4) Clemson break a big ST play, trick play, and/or a few turnovers.
Clemson is an underdog for good reasons but upsets happen. Ask Stanford & USC.
Go Tigers!

I don't like how espn always counts us out of everything... I know we have a past where we've messed up but we are a great team this year with some very dangerous players... We deserve way more credit then we are given , when we beat Fsu Saturday night they will still have bull crap to say but Clemsons coming to win as a huge fan I hope we win them all And make everyone that has doubted us so we can laugh in there face GO TIGERS I believe in you and always have...

Our run game opens up the door for the passing game. We leave the talented Nole defense winded and dominated the end of the game.

Poor business decision on your score bonehead. No one knows what the score will be. If Sammy Watkins scores on the first drive, You will be able to hear a pin drop in the stadium. And I predict that Watkins and Taj are going to put on an aerial show that will be shown over and over on ESPN for all you doubters.

Our D-line is not made up of playmakers with tons of talent. No one on the line comands a double team against Furman! Makes it real easy to pick up a blitz. This is why those recruits on the d-line are needed so bad.

i think you guys kinda missed on special teams. if the def has not showed up by now, i doubt that they will. from off to def, clemson has to be the most unbalanced team in the country. i think the secondary is the weakest link.
